The Grounds

I dnt knw wht this mean. Pls explain yourself

I understand Tuey. I was once a 5 star poster. I guess people didn't get my humor or thought I was being too sarcastic. It has really taken an emotional toll on me. I don't post the same. Food doesn't taste the same. All I can think about is that 1 star that's been taken from me. Yesterday when I got done making love to the gf, I said "4 stars or 5, baby?" She said 5 but I could tell she was just trying to make me feel better.

See wht I brng to ths board. Ur goin to miss tugard like ur miss quarter water. Only certain people or social status will knw wht quarter water is.LOL

Com on mrs E. U def a five star. Ur hot self

That is funny. Upvote for you Mr. E. I will help get you back to a 5 star poster.

So who's winning this stupid pissing match?

It is my habit to ignore Tug's posts because when he trashes our own guys, such as calling Harris and Harrell scrubs, it gets me excited and I don't really need that.

However, since this thread has blown up I thought I'd investigate. I am not commenting on his post as positive or negative and I'm not downvoting or upvoting him on this, but I did think it fair to provide a little background and research:

Here is the description from the Brewster Academy website:

Brewster defeated Fishburne Military (VA) 91-75 at the National Prep Showcase. Brewster was led by NC State-bound TJ Warren (Raleigh, NC) with 22 points, while unsigned forward JaKarr Sampson (Barberton, OH) contributed 20 points and 7 rebounds. Future Xavier point guard Semaj Christon (Cincinnati, OH) added 17 points and 5 assists, while fellow Cincinnati native and Florida State-signee Aaron Thomas had 11 points. Xavier-signee Jalen Reynolds (Livonia, MI) and Michigan-bound Mitch McGary (Porter, IN) combined for 19 points and 12 rebounds in the contest.

As you can read, Brewster is absolutely loaded with high level prospects. Mitch McGary is the same that was being raved about by the analysts during our game with Michigan the other night.

I never expressed my feelings on the signing of Teven Jones and I'm not going to now, but it shouldn't be a surprise that he struggled against that level of competition. You could build the core of a darn good college team from the Brewster roster.

Here's what seems to be undisputed about Teven Jones: (1) He has a very smooth outside shot with a quick release; (2) He is very fast and athletic; and (3) He is a born leader. Take a look at any of the clips/game film on the internet and read the comments from his coach(es), and you will see this.

Here's what's also undisputed about Teven: (1) He's relatively new to being a full-time basketball player, and (2) He's VERY new to the point guard position. Sure, Teven played basketball in HS, but he was primarily thought of as (very good) football player who played basketball in the football offseason. In other words, he's not your typical AAU player. Also, he played SG in HS and is playing PG for the first time at Fishburne.

The reason he's playing PG is that Ed Huckaby (and TB, and other coaches such as Brownell) saw him over the summer and saw that he had leadership and court vision. That said, while it seems like he has the innate ability to be a great PG, he's still understandably raw. He's putting the pieces together. His handle is good but can (and I think will) improve. He needs to flatten out his passes a bit and deliver them with a bit more zip. He needs to work on his defense, his off-the-ball defense in particular.

But the bottom line is that he has all the tools to be a very good to great PG, and everyone seems to characterize him as a hard worker. After his year at Fishburne and after working with TB and Mike Curtis for a year, I think we'll see a very solid PG. By his 3rd and 4th years, he could be great.

I worry a lot more about the low post scorer to be honest. Jontel, Brogdon, and Jones can handle the PG spot just fine. I really worry about the effectiveness of our offense with no true low post threat. I wonder sometimes if Akil can develop a good back to the basket game. I think he has some of the tools.

The best trav. For u to say tht I knw u real thorough. Holla fam

Tugard... I am begging you to start using vowels. It takes me twice as long to figure out what the heck you are trying to say as any other post. If you are serious about contributing to this site and want to be more respected, you have to start using whole words. I am not talking about grammar, I can get over that... just use whole words. Once we can understand what you are saying, then you can work on your tone. You have enough fans on this site, that with some tweaks, you could be one of the most popular posters ever! Like starting out 4-8 and going 8-4 in the next season. Once we have you well schooled, then we will unleash you on the Hokies. They can't handle the Tugard.
