Well, I am being vague, but I don't know how else to put it. National writers always referred to james' season as having "quietly put together great stats," which I agree with. His big games were in losses and OSU's big wins were times that Eaton took the spot light deservedly.
For example Warren had his hurt but still nailing threes at texas with blake on the sidelines, plus some impressive dunks. Other guys teams won big nationally televised games while putting up big numbers which had people writing columns mainly about them. Mizzu made a run with no big time recruits and being overlooked in the preseason, which may be why tiller is being noticed.
Anderson never had a huge break out night yet still put up great numbers, which outside of the big 12 won't exactly garner a whole lot of attention. I guess I'm wrong in my first statement inferring that he didn't try to make a name for himself, it isn't exactly his fault. The timing just never went his way.
