No kidding. Anyone else notice the other players in this recruiting class?

Did you mean to quote me or did you not understand the context of what I was saying?

Color doesn't matter...to me. It does to AmberColonel.

I'm often amazed when the tournament comes around how many of these kids who never had a big time scholarship offer tend to play well. Paxon for the bulls made a living off of just hitting open shots.

I just think it is important to not just look at how much an athlete a player is but also to look at his basketball IQ and his shooting percentages. I have no idea about the level of competition this kid had but those seem like strong numbers. Again nobody thought Logan was going to play much either.

You can't just pick out the needle in a haystack though and assume Twyman will turn into him. For every Steve Logan there are tons more than don't amount to much more than practice material. Sure everybody wants this guy to be the next Logan, but do you realize how likely that is to happen?

Yeah let's stop trying to find the next Logan and continue playing guys who can't shoot. That way we can just keep complaining about it.

I think we all want to have another Steve Logan on this squad. But don't lose sight of the fact that this guy is walking on for a reason. He has to be able to do more than just shoot at this level.

I hate assholes like you who turn everything into a race war.

Just so you know, he isn't the one that started the "race shit". You are the one that talked about race and he said it doesn't matter.

Agreed. If he can play, he will play. It's as simple as that. I believe that one guy on Kentucky was a 3 year walk on that earned a scholarship his 4th year and now sees significant playing time. Perhaps that will happen here.

I'm just going to make it short, sweet, and to the point.

If you're expecting a walk-on to help the team out in any way during a game, you are mistaken.

That being said, I think it's pretty cool that it's Twyman's grandson. Keeps his legacy alive.
