More importantly, Purifoy would have been a game changer that would help our program recruiting/identity. If he came in and lit it up, we could sell that. We still are selling Bruce not any product
Technically, he could leave after THIS year since he would be one year out of high school, right?
Not saying I think he will or should, but by the letter of the rules?

He could but that wouldn't happen

Rig, can you conjure up a win for me bro? You promised me this hoopyball thing was OK. We cant handle another blow out.
Lie to me or something.

However, we played much better as a team the first half against LSU. We couldn't hit many shots though. I would look for the team work to devolve and the shooting percentages to remain consistent.

Once our players get tired and start making mistakes, our team chemistry completely breaks down.
TJ Lang has really stepped up his 3 game and hustle, I wish the other players trusted him more

Tom Green indicates via Twitter that Purifoy may still be able to play this season. Also, Purifoy wouldn't redshirt if cleared because of his pro potential within 4 years.
Weird situation. Cannot post the tweets because I'm on my phone

Doub tthe kid who couldn't originally qualify would want to stay 5 years if he is even a mid 2nd RD pick.

I guess I will accept that.

Huh? In the LSU game he wouldnt shoot and at times couldnt shoot because he takes so long to get his shot off.
And he took his FIRST shot with under 20 seconds left in the game. Not going to help if you wait that long to shoot the ball.
I think he can shoot the 3 and done really well at times, but he has to know how to get to the open spots to get the ball from.
I just see him being too inconsistent enough to help us every game.
one note: not having a really good PG is one important reason for him not getting his shots.

quote:He seems to lack confidence offensively other than shooting 3s. With the injuries we have had, he need to be more aggressive. I really like lang and have been waiting for him to take the next step all season. He seems right on the cusp. Also, he has to adjust his defense to the new emphasis on freedom of movement. He commits too many silly fouls.

To their credit, he, Brown and Horace have gotten a little better in the fouling department.

He's gotten a ton better with confidence at non 3s. He is solid at driving when he has a shot and aggressive.
I don't want him making things happen, but when he has a lane and cuts it makes me happy

He is simply too passive offensively.

I agree. I'm just saying the past 2-3 games he looks like he wants to contribute as opposed to before just standing there

Rumor going around that Canty won't play tomorrow night. I can't confirm it but these things usually turn out to be true. We might not break 40 if he doesn't play

Yeah, I saw that Tate avoided the question when asked.
Posted on 2/5/16 at 10:23 pm to Smoke7024
Some suggested he left the team. Is that in any way true?
I mean, he doesn't have enough eligibility left to be that fricking stupid

I saw that too, but I don't think it's true.
