Eason show's flashes of how great he can be and then he shows dumb silly mistakes, in reality Tari probably doesn't start or possibly see a ton minutes on a top 25 team. Keith cant stay on the court, MAW was supposed to be this "super fast" point guard that could run Brannen's high powered high scoring offense, yet to see that. Haven't seen enough of the Madsen twins to say anything. As for Ivan Drago on the bench, I doubt he is anything special. Davenport plays so hard and I love that, but I think at times he try's way to hard with the ball in his hands which leads to dumb Mistakes. DJ i think has the possibility to be very good, but time will tell. As for JB i dont really want to say much because we are in a covid season and are only 6 games into a very weird season, but damn its becoming more and more apparent how much Jarron and Tre saved his butt last year. This is a very impatient fan base and even in a "rebuilding" year we need to see the fruits of the labor, guys improving.... that is just not happening, that Georgia game looked like no one gave af.

There is a lot to be depressed about that's for sure. But I will take a shot here from an optimistic standpoint. I was not expecting Tari to have as much talent as he does. I thought there was too much hype about his game. Once he is allowed to make plays...as he learns the pace...he's going to be more fun to watch than he has been already. Davenport continues to impress over and above anything I dreamed out of him for this year. Saunders I was expecting to not get hardly any minutes. Outside of the mistakes I think he's going to be better than solid in years to come. He's also learning the pace.
Williams and DD both have had impressive games. DD against TN becoming a play maker when he had to. And Williams against Furman. There is potential but it hasn't been consistent at all. DD is about even with my expectations and Williams not yet meeting them.
I was expecting a lot more out of Rap and Vogt. I was wrong. I was expecting a lot more out of Harvey. I was expecting more out of Brannen. I thought we would see some decent shooting and see his style start to develop. Still think a super smart dude like Brannen will adapt his plan and make improvements if not this year then he will get ready for next. Either way with another loss or two early and we will have to get the frosh in there a lot to prepare them.
