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

Everyone knows what I think of our guy, but I wouldn't get carried away with this. The "other" guy is being phased in to the PG spot, he has great speed and a tremendous handle. It's just a matter of time till he gets it going. (I don't believe he is much of a shooter, however)

Yep. Let's just take all the credit away from Brenton because the MVC is soooo terrible. It's not like he played a huge game for us on the road today, in the conference. I don't care what conference you are from; it is difficult to perform well on the road in ANY conference. Now I understand that the Big 10 is a stronger conference, but in terms of who plays better (including the noncon against non Big 10 schools), Brenton plays better basketball as of now.
 
Looked like he played more 2 guard today and I thought he looked much more comfortable out there. He's a really good catch and shoot guy so if Brown and Bennet can handle the point it's gonna make us a much better team.

BS is a player. Bennett has been racking up more and more assists while holding his TO's down.

Didnt shoot the ball well today, but Tre had 5 assists against 1 turnover. I will take that every game.

Still has to work on his defense, takes too wide a path going around screens. Gives his man too much space at times.

I just watched the first 10 min and Tre has caused 2 of LUC's TO's and has made some really nice passes.

He had 6 assists and they have him with 0 steals.

I thought it sounded like Coach was saying, "Brenton, you can be as good as you want to be. But you're still on a short leash."

And I thought Brenton was giving off a, "I'm gonna work hard and show you what I can be," vibe.

For a little perspective, Larry Bird and Bob King butted heads, too. I don't mind a player who has a little swagger to him. As long as he knows who holds the cards.

John Wooden told Bill Walton to cut his hair one year at the beginning of school. Bill Walton said, "You can't tell me how to wear my hair!" Coach Wooden replied, "You know, Bill, you're right. But I get to decide who plays for UCLA. And I tell you what, we're gonna miss you..." Walton cut his hair.

I thought it was a good article. As far as "back-handed compliments," I think they were just describing some water over the dam and what it has taken to get to this point.

Thats fine - I'm not stiring the pot, no need to. It is just the way the article read to me. It didn't leave me feeling warm and fuzzy, sorry not sorry.
 
Very interesting article and about how I would have guessed their relationship to be. I love Brenton's game and hope he keeps his head on straight. Some times I fear he could be a ticking time bomb and his own worst enemy. That edge about him is what can make him a special player. It's just a fine line he has to walk without going over.

John Wooden - A lot of that kind of coaching needs to be done today. Very little of it being practiced I'm afraid?

I did a little math.

Brenton sits at 818 points. So, barring any extreme circumstances (injury, academic/disciplinary issues), he will reach 1000 career points pretty early on during this season.

IF...he averages 18+ points a game his junior AND senior seasons, he could reach 2,000 for his career.

And yeah yeah yeah, I know there will be those who SHIT on this post, saying they don't care about any of this, they're more concerned about Ws. So I say to those people, yeah, no kidding, we're ALL more concerned about Ws. But I'll still be rooting on Brenton Scott and his potential for a 2,000 point career.

18 might be a little tough, but when he's hot, they come in bunches. I hope he is a 4 year-guy. Something that has been gnawing at me is the prpospect of him being a 4th year mercenary at another school...somewhere he'll come off the bench for a top 10-15 team and put up 13 or so...
