I would like to see more of those bunnies as throw-downs, especially against guys who are 6 inches shorter than him.

I think in these specific games Justin was nursing a sore shoulder. IIRC he was trying to avoid dunking so he wouldn't aggravate it at all. He's not the greatest athlete, but I think he's a better athlete than you're led to believe by the video.

Looks in the video like he is wearing some sort of sleave, or brace. Any idea the level of injury?

If ISU lets Gant get away, we might as well quit going after local talent, if we can't reel them in.

and you have to ask why none of your questions for the Coach were asked?

Review all of your posts and see how many of them make any sense at all?
 
I don't really care what you think. If ISU can't get local talent, how do they expect to get people in the seats. They want to see the kids that they have watched growing up not some strangers.

That's why State average's ~4,500 folks per game?? They're watching strangers?? :krazy:

Guess that's why the HC wasn't SOLD OUT every night in the 1978-79 season, Larry, Brad, Steve, Carl etc were strangers.

No those were not strangers, those were big name players in the state of Indiana in high school.

Remember your argument is with a 17 yr. old. whose sports & life experiences are very limited. He basically doesn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground. Never have seen such stupid "shot from the hip" comments as those he puts in writing on a message board; not just once in awhile....................every time.

I agree with the bold portion of your post. The remainder of your post is a very harsh and is uncalled for. Flame me if you wish. A kid, who obviously loves the Sycamores, deserves better.

Wow... Relax TreeFan, take it easy on him. Try to be a little more civil. Last time I checked Landrus is a pretty big ISU fan, yeah maybe you and other people don't agree with what he has to say or don't like the way he words things but that was just harsh dude.

I am not really sure what makes you think you have the right to go around talking to people like that on this message board but it's wrong. Everyone around these parts happens to be a Sycamore fan. Sure many of us don't see eye to eye on certain topics, but very rarely do we drop this kind of vulgarity to one another like you do on a regular basis.
 
I somehow missed this. Yeah, folks need to give Justin a break. He's still young and still has time to refine his sports knowledge. Let's get back on the subject at hand, which is Justin Gant fellas.
 
O.K. maybe I was a bit harsh on the kid but he got a bit testy a few posts back. I am really concerned that Morgan of all posters on the board could check anyone when it comes to offending someone. He is the Master........................baiter!
 
Their is a difference between what I do (stir the pot on occasion) and personally calling people names and cursing directly at people. I don't act in that matter - I don't post in a manor to belittle anyone like you continue to do on a regular basis.

So you can do one of two things - add me to your ignore list and you wont have to worry about it or take it up with Boda. Because you are one of maybe 2 or 3 people on this forum that has a problem with me, so I suggest you maybe consider blocking me or tuning me out.

Have a great day friend!

Tree fan...no matter how testy....I think if you are calling someone out for their age, I think maybe you should act like the more mature person which you clearly werent....

I don't understand this post at all...you currently have RJ, two Jakes, two Eitels on the team...all basically from the area but you think losing out on Gant would have a huge impact on ISU and their attendance? It's like you're calling out ISU for not recruiting the locals when a 1/3 of the team is from w/in 45 minutes of TH (I may be off a little but I'm not from the area).

I don't agree with this thought, but only Kitchell could claim anywhere near the offers Gant has. I'd say the fact he's 6'8" also should be a pretty big consideration since our post play on your brother's watch was pretty bad. I know it wasn't his style, but even the Creighton teams had several guys that could do damage down low.

You're right. It was a silly post. When someone says something like that, I try to ignore it.

We don't need Gant in particular. We need good players, whoever they are.
