I don't care who makes the comparison to be honest, it's a bad one IMO.
Harris? It's very good imo. Almost identical body types. Both are very skilled for their size and both enter college with some baby fat. Harris was probably slightly less athletic and more skilled/refined when he entered college, but the production will be very similar I'd bet.

So when you posted his opinion, you did or din't agree with it?

Green. Harris is a much more apt comparison if we have to make comparisons of players that have played in the SEC in the last few years. I'm not sure why comparisons seem to be confined to that but that's seemingly what they did.

Yeah, similar athletically.

heavy reliance on newcomers
What makes us so much more heavily reliant than anyone else in the conference? Martin is the only freshmen we will "rely" on for scoring production. IS anyone else in the conference not going to have at least 1 freshmen contribute significantly? Isn't there a really good chance Chris Walker will come right in and start for you guys, or at worst, play 20+ minutes a game? Not sure how UF is any different in that aspect. I would certainly say there are way more teams in the SEC that will be more reliant on newcomers than us though.

short backcourt
That's only with Hickey and Stringer, we have 6'4 Morgan who should make a good leap from his freshman year to this year and 6'5 Quarterman.

head coach has no track record
At LSU? Sure. But he turned around North Texas into a winning program (a laughable program before he arrived) able to get them to the NCAAT a few times. If you saw North Texas this year, they completely fell apart, despite returning an NBA draft pick. They really missed him.

I think you two are still forgetting it's April. Basketball doesnt start for another 6-7 months.
6-7 months ago Martin was in the 220 range. Now he's 15-20 pounds heavier. Things can change quickly.

It's unnecessary, it was more a subtle jab at your continued absolutes.
My "absolutes" are my opinions imo. If you're going to take them the wrong way, then don't read them imo.

I just respect opinions more when they're qualified to some degree. Somehow you're willing to debate about the merits of OM's frontcourt and guys that averaged about 5 minutes a game but you are unable to do the same when discussing LSU. It's odd.

Jalen Courtney cant be our Demarco Cox now who explodes from 1-3 points a game after 3 years to double digits

The strange part is how serious he was about it.

Green was pretty athletic, too. Their body types are nearly identical.

If Ole Miss is close to the NCAAT next year I'll eat a pile of dirt. They lost way too much and are adding....?

I was ready to have my mind blown with a post of Green putting together a similar dunk but my mind wasn't blown. He basically just performed a dunk that even Glen Davis could do.

That dunk shows me less than the prior dunk and does little to prove your theory that they're similar athletically. Green three years into college couldn't even handle the ball as well as Martin currently does.

Who are they adding to replace two of their three highest scorers?

Alright, here's a better dunk:
Martin can do a backflip (there's a video). I dont think there's any question who is more athletic. I will saw Martin is still learning a lot about the game though, but his athleticism will carry him through college for a year (maybe even 2).

Because Ole Miss and Florida are comparable, is that what you're trying to say?
