Not a big fan of Terrell, and like Rock said, don't think he was ever coming here for some reason anyway. After doing nothing the entire game, he hits that three at the end and acts like he's Lebron James after. He will be solid for them, but he doesn't shoot from outside or the ft line too well. Two aspects I'd rather have in a 2g for PC right now, instead of a decent handle at best.
I will admit I REALLY wish we had Fortune on this team at this point. JL and Lomomba haven't been what I thought they would be after hearing Kmacs reports before the season.
Let's not forget that Fortune wasn't playing decent basketball until February last year, though, so there's time for one of them to emerge. Some were trashing the kid on both boards last year at this time. Lindsey hasn't had the smoothest road since being here...he's dealt with mono, 2 sprained ankles, and a busted finger. Plenty of time for one to emerge.

Lindsey's shot was a beautiful thing to see against FSU. We've seen it in other games as well. He will be our Fortune once he gets his legs under him and is fully integrated.

" Lindsey hasn't had the smoothest road since being here...he's dealt with mono, 2 sprained ankles, and a busted finger. Plenty of time for one to emerge."
Terrell has played 60 minutes more than Lindsey and has a whopping 3 more rebounds and has committed 13 more TO's.
The love fest by some on here because he can dribble 6 times in a row vice Lindsey 3 times in a row is a joke.
Much like Fortune, put a PC uni on Terrell and Walk would be all over his FT shooting and TO's just like he was all over Fortunes inability to inbound the ball, defense, sporadic shooting, passing.
Would Terrell help, maybe.. Is he a difference maker on this current team, don't think so..
I don't care who we recruit, I just don't see PC recruiting a kid who doesn't have some kind of wart and needing sometime to work his way up to his full potential. The kids with no warts go to Kentucky.
....gotta love friartown...

Can Lindsey dribble three times?....and once again this isn't Lindsey vs Terrell....but you're nuts if you think JT wouldn't be playing 25 mpg at pc....
..and you're wrong mike....I thought josh was a much better basketball player than anticipated as a frosh....he even ran some point early that year....thought we were getting a better shooter....
So to be clear....you say we need guards....but not one playing 30mpg and averaging 10ppg as a freshman?....

Terrell is also on a completely different team. He wouldn't average double figures on this team. RI only has one option and thats Matthews so of course he is going to get his shots. He only went there because Hurley probably told him that he can play Robin to Matthews Batman. Terrell might not even be better than Cartwright to be honest. Yeah I said it! He rode AMA's coattails to a top 100 ranking and Cooley probably only wanted him to help us get AMA.

I thought this was a good place to post a reminder vid about Lindsey from a couple of years ago. Its 5:00 minutes long. You will notice that throughout the video he's either draining a three, jamming it home or a few steps and a layup. At no time is he shown beating his man off the dribble. I guess that's what we've got. In that case, we've got to hope he plays like he did vs FSU because there are too many other pieces of his game after that. At least for now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnkzEdcfnf4

Dude we're a few games into his Freshman season. Give it til February before you cry about him. You've been told repeatedly he has better stats thus far then your beloved Terrell yet you continue..unreal.

So Lindsey gets the freshman excuse but Terrell doesn't....hilarious....better stats?...less points...less boards...less assists....less steals...
So you are in agreement with mike that we don't need any guards?...with Edwards coming in along with Dunn, Cartwright, Lindsey were covered 2 deep at each spot...

actually 3 deep. Lomomba and Chambers (who is unknown). They might not contribute much and become practice players but its still better than going up against Woodring and Bancroft.

Lindsey hasn't been too good so far, besides at Mohegan where he was terrific(6-7 on treys), but I'm not worried at all yet. I think he'll be the one to come along and emerge as a threat. Seth Greenberg made this comparison, but he is a 6'6 version of Cotton. Atleast in the way they approach the game, when Cotton was a underclassmen. Once JL gets more comfortable he should be fine.
Gotta cut him some slack considering the luck he's had since being here health wise.
The loss to Brown really sucks, but this team still has a high ceiling if they stay healthy. Dunn is a freak.

All I'm saying Walk is Terrell would not be taking all Lindsey's minutes because they contribute in different ways. Completely different situations for one thing. Lindsey is #4option on offense, Terrell is probably #2 on URI's. Terrell would be an addition to this team, not a enough for me to get a woody over because I don't think his #'s would be much different than Lindsey's if he logged the same # of minutes for PC that Lindsey has.
