Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Okay maybe this is just me but the kid hasnt lived up to the hype of what has been said. Last night I thought he looked mediocre at best. He looks like he has no clue what is going on out there, not only when it comes to knowledge of plays and understanding(which we can credit somewhat to being a freshman) but also fundamentally. When he gets the ball it doesnt seem like you know what is going to happen, turnover..etc. Kinda like how I felt when Zac Lee took off running this year.. Maybe its just me,but hes looked awful..

WVhuskerXX Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think he just needs some game time. Usually in basketball it takes the team a few games at the beginning of the season to get into rhythm. Well he didn't get that. So now he is behind in that regard. Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 i have no problem with him not knowing the system and all, very understandable. But even fundamentally he looks off. He picks up is dribble and looks like hes about to drag a foot everytime, telegraphs his passes, those kindof things that shouldnt be a problem for a D1 basketball player. I guess I will just have to give him time to see what he molds into. Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Also, Kansas is probably going to the Final Four...so its not like he was playing West Virginia A&M..lol... Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think last night can mostly be attributed to nerves and a lack of familiarity with the system. Against A&M he looked really good. Quote Link to comment
kc_husker Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I blame it on his haircut that he got. Â Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 nice one kc husker..lol Quote Link to comment
Dhuskers Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 yea he was a completely different player against A&M. I expected him to contribute a lot more against Kansas after seeing the A&M game Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think last night can mostly be attributed to nerves and a lack of familiarity with the system. Against A&M he looked really good. Also playing someone as big as Aldrich doesn't help. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I don't know but I think that he is doing quite well considering some the players we have in the past ten years for sure. I wish all of them would play with the intensity that he does. Plus I thought that they did a good job against Aldrich considering. Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 he's played two games. against a&m (a pretty decent team) he looked extremely good for being thrown into big 12 action for his first collegiate game. against ku he did not look good, but many players have bad games against a team like that, especially when it's only their second game of the season and ku has played 15 games. either way, it's hard to say a guy is or isn't living up to his hype when he has played only 2 games out of what is hopefully a 100+ game career Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 correction: i guess he's three games in now (been trying to forget about the iowa state debacle, guess it almost worked). he didn't look very good in that game either, but again it was game three out of 100 some games he will hopefully be playing in a nebraska uniform. give him time, the kid has said multiple times he hates to lose, and after watching him you can tell he isn't just a hot head blowin smoke, he means it and will work harder to get better and bring home some w's Quote Link to comment
Captain K Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Okay maybe this is just me but the kid hasnt lived up to the hype of what has been said.

The Zac Lee analogy is probably pretty apropos. Zac's trouble was partially the O-line and I think the way the Huskers are ballin' overall is pretty bad. So many new guys and well, they just don't look too good. Playing with a team that is a mess will make you look bad too sometimes, especially if you are trying too hard, which he seems to be. Gotta live up to the hype, so many expectations, etc. There may be a reason some of the guys on his team were getting paid and he wasn't. Just caught the last 15 mins or so of the Mizzou game and didn't see him at all. Quote Link to comment
