Huh? HAHA
Well, at the risk of getting involved in the insane back and forth game with the Pledger sack-riders crowd and the supposed Pledger haters, I state my opinion just like everyone else. All I was wanting to know was why an earlier poster thought Pledger was better than Booker coming out of high school, and like clockwork it brought down the thunder from all the to the death Pledger defenders. Geez people lighten up will you? Your fascination/defending of Pledger reached epic proportions long ago, but now it's just gotten annoying.
Most of us don't hate Pledger ok? We just see him for what he is, a streaky, one trick pony who can shoot but not much else. Has he been clutch in spots? Oh yeah. Does he disappear in many big games? Heck yeah. If he's not hitting, he's of next to no value. Yeah, he'll have high rebound games and for that I applaud the effort. So, let me summarize... Great shot when he's on, nothing, I mean nothing when he's not... No handles, bad defense, average at best athleticism(I doubt at 6-4 that he can dunk with both hands, I've never seen it)... And finally sometimes a bad attitude. But, I appreciate what he has done for OU during the worst era of losing in these modern times, and again, I don't hate him so save it.
As far as comparing him to Booker, how does anyone even know? Taking shooting out of the equation(Booker apparently is very good if not great at that) is he better athletically than Booker? Is he better defensively? Does he have better handles? Can he create his own shot better?
As far as offers, are you on drugs? I just looked at Pledger's offer list and yes, it's better than i thought. If I remember he was headed to VCU with Capel which is not exactly a high major. And that was before Shaka Smart made them relevant. And if you call VCU, VTech, Boston College, Clemson, and Wake Forest better offers than Booker's OU, Miami, Tennessee, Texas A&M etc etc then more power to ya there bud!
