Just getting in this thread but how in the world was it ucfs ball after they did not take it out of bounds after a um made field go?

Frankieā€™s struggles would depress me more if jones still looked broken.

If the ball never goes out of bounds itā€™s not a turnover. Itā€™s a turnover if the ball goes all the way out of bounds and then they step over the line. Iā€™m assuming the first is what happened.

Iā€™m with you. Have wanted Brandon to flip the switch but if we canā€™t predict his output at this point give me Williams, at least he plays confident

Johns minutes just arenā€™t doing it right now. I said on the pod this week that Iā€™d go with Diabate/Williams at the four. First half just reinforces that.

Interesting well thatā€™s a dumb rule that should be changed

127

With the long layoff, I expected some rustā€¦I think the hustle and the energy are there, but the shooting isnā€™t. Iā€™ll expect better execution coming out of halftime.

Johns looks slower than last year. He just doesnā€™t seem to have the zip this year.

Johns is one of those types that if you put him in a combine heā€™ll look incredible but he thinks the game so slowly it takes away a ton of athleticism. If he played football heā€™d be the classic track guy playing football.

Johns being the first sub off the bench at this point is strictly due to tenure. Heā€™s a mess

I have always thought his athleticism was over rated. Not that he isnā€™t athletic, just that he isnā€™t an NBA athlete like some claim. But the issue isnā€™t thatā€¦it is his indecisive play - which negates his athleticism. I would rather a guy thatā€™s too aggressive (Chaundee and TWill at times) than a guy who is too passive.

He doesnā€™t get off the floor like he used to either. Itā€™s like he turned 40 during the offseason.

133

I donā€™t really think heā€™s athletic as you are making him out to be.

Yeah heā€™s a lead footed leaper.

Need to win the first 4 min this half.

Game started on ESPN2 now.

Yeah I really think the Johns as nuclear athlete thing is something that we repeat so itā€™s become true. He wouldnā€™t get stuffed like a Turkey so much if he was that athletic.

138

Missed the first part of the first half(like most of you it seems), but DJ has looked great this game.

139

I have never understood how Johns can be such a tough rebounder and such a lousy finisher.

Mike smith started the season bad? Is the commentator on meth? In what world did he start poorly last year
