You 2 have been down on Carter since he signed, let's wait and see what he can do on the court that matters.

And your the total optimist......you need to be realistic in life, every prospect can't be gold....

Remember last summer when people was raving about how great Russ looked in these pickup games and how he was going to play a much bigger role in the coming year?

Some players look good when there is no structure or pressure, while others actually need it. McMasters had a good HS career, and was, I believe, the highest rated and most sought after member of this class. Let's see what he can do in McKay's system before we get too down on him.

I have never once stated every prospect or ANY prospect for that matter was going to be gold.

And you have never once said anything negative....and some players have negatives traits or qualities on the court that need work.

I have not seen one of these freshman play in person so I know nothing of the faults in their game. Also, I’m not going to look at someone in a negative light until they’ve had a chance to actually prove themselves. If Carter or Seth or any other of the freshman suck next year, I'll be right here saying they do, but not before they've even stepped on the court.

TBGBG said he saw the kid play and gave his opinion based on that point in time. Are you saying he didn't see what he saw?

I guess you're talking to me. I didn't say anything about what TBGB said. I heard his opinion and take it for what it's worth. I'll reserve judgement on all of them until I see them lace it up during a real game.

[SuperJon]

Then why are you asking about what guys have seen?

Well that should be a given for all these players... no one has laced them up yet so that should be reserved for everyone, not just the one that I dont see it in RIGHT NOW

[jcmanson]

Because any news is better than no news. It's nice to hear the updates, but when someone who’s been negative about Carter since he signed says something negative about him I take it for what it’s worth and nothing more.

That is for ALL the players.

I have hoped that he does well... All Ive said about him that I didnt like is what I heard from other people and I stated that when I said it. Im not down on the kid or negative, I just say what Ive heard and what I see.

[jcmanson]

The first you heard was from a message board, it was negative. You are therefore under the assumption that what you heard originally is correct. It may be, but the kid has 4 years to prove otherwise.

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

First I heard was from a Coach. And he does have 4 years and I hope he comes out and dominates this year... Just call it like I see it, sorry for offending you in doing so.

[jcmanson]

You didn’t offend me, I just have seen a lot of negativity directed at Carter and IMO it’s not warranted.

[JDUB]

if you watched all of them play, and some were good and some weren't, are you saying you wouldn't say anything negative about the one that wasn't? that wouldn't make very much sense

[jcmanson]

I didn't say there was anything wrong with what TBGB said. He stated his opinion. What I said was, that he and RF have been negative about him since he signed.

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

Thats Cool... I know what Ive seen, Believe what you wish... This is the same guy that thinks LB was great KIDDING DONT KILL ME

[jcmanson]

^^^ Coming from a guy who thinks TB is great

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

^^^ Coming from a guy who KNOWS TB is great and will make you remember your words

fify!

[jcmanson]

I hope so
