Saw several Tweets about Scott having his scholarship renewed. I'm sure he'll learn from his mistakes and I'll be interested to see what he can do on the court for us next year. His development over the Summer will be crucial.
 
I hope comes in pushing to start. I want him to compete with Vanvleet. Vanvleet put on a show in the MVC this past year and I see no reason why Brenton can't do the same.

There are some things he must do: Keep is nose clean, work hard, remember the team concept and improve through is senior year.

He shouldn't be compared to JO because they are a completely different skill set. I noticed the other night, he is determined on defense and can be pretty sticky. The desire is there.
As everyone knows, I saw this 2 years ago, so it's no surprise to me and it's certainly no fluke. He played in his brother's shadow all through HS and was a great find by Lansing. He has the skills to earn a spot on any of our all-time teams.

I like it when Coach talks about his defense and understates the total package. It reminds me of Waltman, when he said David Moss could do a little shooting for us.

Huh?

Ouch. Confusing Waltman with Greene is so insulting to Royce!!! :shocked:

I liked Greene. He just couldn't get any players. For many years, we were at the bottom of the conference and a coach's graveyard.

Waltman had some problems too. I think his coaching may have been affected when he had the player die in practice. That would pretty much affect anyone.

Greene took a mediocre team and got worse every year. Waltman at least gave us an unprecedented (and since unduplicated) run of success!

I watched Greene's teams. They were awful. He was a terrible recruiter. He couldn't get players because he couldn't judge talent at all.

I'm sure Alakaja's death affected Greene. Waltman's cancer affected him, too. Sometimes, life deals you a crappy hand. We get a lot of that at ISU...

First of all I want to say that I have liked Brenton Scott since the first time I saw him in high school. And, except for the "speed bump" he stumbled on last year, he has done nothing to disappoint me. Last year his brother started a lot for Purdue. This season, Bryson has not been getting very much playing time.

Most coaches who know will tell you that Ron Greene always relied on assistant coaches for recruiting. ISU alum Steve Newton was his assistant coach at UNO and Murray State.

When discussing the things that had an impact on Waltman, remember that his wife had cancer, too. I can recall seeing the tears well in his eyes when he told me about his wife's condition soon after he learned about it. I always had the feeling that, during his Terre Haute residency, he was more emotionally involved with his wife's illness than he was his own. However, I believe that his illness (and well as hers) affected his ability to get out on the recruiting trail.

Agree that they are very different in their style of play as point guards. But since they are both point guards, I don't think there's anything wrong with comparing their stats....all of which are looking pretty good for a freshman (BS and JO).
 
i'm alone and bored as shit on a saturday night so i decided to do some comparing of two players...i'm sure you can guess who i'm comparing.

player A in blue. player B in black

offers:
ball state, Indiana State, ipfw, missouri state, ohio, and wright state
indiana, purdue, illinois, michigan state, ohio state, and xavier

points:
286
283

PPG:
11.9
5

Average Minutes:

I know it's extremely early in Brenton's career, but it will be interesting to see how these two college careers pan out.
