I sure as heck hope any college coach is smart enough to recognize who is athletic and who isn’t. And of course, that is a broad term. Some players are more athletic in certain areas than others. If any coach thinks someone is or isn’t athletic based on their race, I can’t imagine them making it to the D-1 level.

Can I help you with anything else?
100%. Everyone sees things different.
I literally said I pulled them from the offers list at the 247 site. Easiest way to go about it.
I think Porter plays into some of that. When he sees more potential in Northweather and Jacob Groves than Oweh and Cooper. I don’t think he’s racist, but has a type of player he perceives.
Norweather than Cooper. Jacob Groves than Oweh.
I think he has a type of what he views as a skilled basketball player. If I’m correct, Jacob Groves was a walk on at Eastern Washington and became a starter at OU. Northweather was a low major recruit who picked up OU late.
lol stop
Where is that happening?
It would take you about a minute to check one year of data I posted. Less than 10 minutes to check all six years.
Exactly. It is a false and disingenuous statement. No one is bashing or hoping any of our players fail. I have been very outspoken in predicting that Forsythe won’t make a big impact and in saying that I think the hype is out of control simply be she’s so many people want him to be a plucky success story. That is not the same as bashing the kid. If anything, it is questioning the staff’s assessment that he is the kind of player who can help us succeed.
You get riled up when a few posters are, in your view, too excited about an incoming player--both at the time and months later, when you clearly relish calling posters out--but then you can't understand why some are bothered when you make it a point to repeatedly discount an incoming player's potential. Can you not see the irony in that?
Again, I have never once suggested that posters are not entitled to hype all our players as the second coming. But when they do. I will point out how foolish they are. And on the occasions I have been wrong (Soares, Moore), it is fair for people to call me out, although unlike some of the people who hype our guys and then never admit they were off base, I was quick to admit I was wrong on those guys.
A FEW posters - “I think Forsyte can surprise some people and be a solid 4 year player.”
Are you a contrarian in all aspects of life? If someone says “I love Chilis, I always have a great time with my family”, do you usually to tell them that Chilis is trash and here is a long list of the reasons why? I know this is a message board, but sometimes it’s best to let things go. You may be right, but going out of your way to tell someone they are wrong isn’t helpful.
Keep lying if you want. People have said he will start games in year one. People have posted highlights from summer pickup games and started threads about how LEGIT he is. People frequently list him as our backup PG even though we all see that Moser rarely trusts freshmen enough to play them meaningful minutes.
