Where is Jarreau? heard UH fans raving he was the next star player. I am sure he will be good, but curious seeing him only have 2 points on 1-3 shooting 30 minutes into a blow out.

Personally am chalking it up to a slow start and getting back into the flow of things after sitting out a season, similar to Isiaha Mike.

Jarreau grandma passed away a few weeks ago (who raised him), and missed most of fall practice/didnt pay in the tech scrimmage.
sampson said after the scrimmage that he expects him to not be good early but to expect big things by December/January

sampson told the announcers the same thing pre-game, he said the coaches expect dejon to eventually take the starting job...but not for a while

overall all the returning players are running like a well-oiled machine ....
all the new players that joined in summer (hinton, jarreu and greshman) have all been sloppy so far
which is to be expected


LOL..... now who’s making homer excuses for guys playing their first game? Dude you really should walk away from the keyboard. Get a dog or something. F’kin hilarious.

RE: Opening Week AAC Basketball Games (Tuesday, 11/6 - Saturday, 11/10)
I have honestly loved what I have seen from Houston the last 2 games

we have 2 blatant weaknesses:
- 1 we are VERY undersized in the post, i don't think anyone in the aac can take advantage of that offensively (all the scoring aac bigs are basically guards)...but bol bol (5star Oregon), 5star Naz Reid (LSU), NBA prospect yoeli childs (byu) could give us problems

- we are heavily reliant on the 3, we will have a bad shooting game, not sure what happens then ..we dont have a proven driver

3pt shooting, post scoring, rebounding, perimeter defense, assists, free-throw shooting look amazing for a game 1 team ..the new guys are a bit sloppy thou, Houston had 11 turnovers, 10 were from the 3 new players.

whats has really been impressive is we haven't had our projected best big man in fabian white play ...im hoping his injury doesn't affect him game when he comes back in a few weeks

dejons stat line is 8pts, 7assists 2steals, 1 block. (which include the 2 biggest highlights of the game)
dejon joined the team in 4 months ago, and wasn't part of the team the last month... he wasnt on any team what so ever for the year and a half prior to that...

isiaha mike has been on smu for a over a year now (redshirted all last season)... played in numerous scrimmages and has had all the wing reps at smu with foster injured.
mike contribution to smu in a tight game vs a bad team on 19 mins was 2 open spot 3pointers....thats it
mike was 4 games....dejons was 1 game had still had with better stats than mike

and to be VERY CLEAR...we never claimed dejon would be an nba talent ...we never claimed him to be amazing the way smu fans hyped mike

I made a tongue in cheek comment in another thread about WSU being last in the A10, but after the Providence game I think this team will be top 5 AAC. If they start selling out on defense again, watch out.

I used to kind of take you seriously but sometimes you just post garbage. Unless you subscribe to PonyUpTV you didn't even see this game. We were sloppy at times but our offense will be fine. Mike got into foul trouble and he had a below average shooting game. Regardless, it is easy to see his talent. To call him a bust after one game is laughable.

1) it was free on ponyup TV and there was a stream available.. I started with the stream and there was no announcers at first, I thought it was the stream so i switched to ponyuptv to find out it was technical difficulties not the stream

I watched every second of this game... We also play Northwestern st in a week so I thought this would be a good game to watch

2) I didn't call Mike a bust overall, I called him a bust to your expectations, and again it wasn't 1 game I watched 4 games..
He isn't aggressive and doesn't have a motor, and there really isn't anything game-changing about him ...he is at best a role player


He played over 20mins in all scrimmages and lost all but one and at no point did he do anything to fight for the team to get back... against teams he vastly out talented... Basketball is basketball...Whitt was actually fighting in those games

Stop being a homer and attacking because every take doesn't d-ride smu

So Mike is averaging 16 points and 6 boards per his last five which includes games against TCU and Georgetown. He got to the line 13 times against Georgetown and was named to the AAC honor roll this week. Not bad for a sophomore who was out of game action for over a year and labeled a role player at best by the AAC b-ball expert. So overrated, unaggressive with no motor. You should be a scout pesik.

you are aware smu is already eliminated from an atlarge and we are only a1/3rd into the season??

again i never said he was bad, i just said he was role player...still 100% think that

im not sure if you remember the true genesis of this debate, it was months ago. i said id ranked smu 5th or 6th, a few smu fans instantly attacked me saying smu is top3/4 in the league with adding nba level talent with Mike along with the return of foster

the season has started and smu is projected to be competing for 7/8th, worse than my projection. Mike isnt game-changing at all in respect to the smu hype..he hasnt changed smu to the expectations they had

mike is 100% a bust to the smu expectations, beating up bad teams doesn't change that

also, my opinion of his game hasn't changed....but do you know what i think has made him more productive the last 5 games..foster came back and he got to move to the 3 (now a guard)...he has no motor and just posts up at the 3, as a big he wasn't bringing much to the table. but as a guard posting up for 3 is fine, guards dont need motor to be fighting for rebounds (vs bigs), he now outsizes everyone defending him so making layups & shooting is easier & he only has to outrebound guards

he's developed into a nice role player at the 3, but still a role player

lol when you’re wrong you just double down rather than admitting you’re wrong. Then you throw out uneducated diarrhea of the keyboard to justify your opinion.

First, I haven’t mentioned the success of the team or lackthereof. We are discussing Mike. Not sure why you are bringing that up. But eleven games in at SMU as a sophomore averaging 11 & 5 after getting off to a very slow start Mike is 100% a bust? Okay.

As far as us and Mike beating up on bad teams. Well our last two have been against TCU and Georgetown. Mike’s lines in those two games:

TCU - 14 points on 4-of-8 shooting (2-of-5 from three) and 7 boards (5 offensive)
Georgetown - 17 points on 4-of-11 shooting (no threes) and 9 boards (3 offense). Also he was attacking the bucket all game getting to line 13 times.

And your last paragraph is so full of misinformation I don’t know where to begin. Mike has never played the 3 or been defended by a guard while at SMU. Jarrey has been back two games and has just been a shadow of himself. Jarrey is way more of a guard/perimeter player than Mike. Mike and Chargois are our only two interior players. Against Georgetown Mike was often guarding Govan when Chargois was out. On the other end Mike was either guarded by Mourning, Govan or Leblanc. Where are you getting this guard stuff from? Also, Chargois is such a liability on the defensive end that has forced Mike to often help on the other team’s big.

Against Georgetown Mike was often guarding Govan when Chargois was out. On the other end Mike was either guarded by Mourning, Govan or Leblanc. Where are you getting this guard stuff from? Also, Chargois is such a liability on the defensive end that has forced Mike to often help on the other team’s big.




LOL yea its pretty hard to call Isiah Mike a role player With the way he has come on lately.

He played against 2 Tier 2 teams and his production and offensive rating matched what he did against the bad teams.

SMU has the best offense in the league and now that Foster is back, I think they could be one of the toughest outs in the league. Sure they didn't get a ton done in the non conference, but they also missed their best player.

Mike, in tandem with Chargois is a really tough cover with the both can step out and knock down 3's.


SMU has 5 tier 1 opportunities left on its schedule, While they probably won't win them all, they at least have the opportunities on their schedule to make some noise. 5 tier 2 opportunities as well.

THEN WHY ARE YOU COMMENTING!!!! THAT IS THE ENTIRE DEBATE!!!

this whole debate was about smu not being top-level good,
ponystark/sad stated that mike would be that good and that mike would be a nba level talent potentially better than anyone on last years roster. they said he would be high on nba talent NOW... they emphasized how good smu would be with his added talent

- i then watched mike in all his preseason stuff and 1st few games, and i said he is overrated by smu fans ...he isnt game-changing for yall to be that good, but he can be a good role player


YOU ARE WORSE THAN I EVEN PROJECTED

If i said galen was the best player in the aac, because he is that game-changing of a player, 1st round nba talent , that we are going to win the aac uncontested
-- you say galen isnt that game-changing of a player to carry Houston like that.

if houston is horrible but galen is averaging 14pts a game vs good teams in losses, guess what i didnt prove Galen is game-changing (what you are trying to do), the whole debate was about good houston would be ..he'd be overrated/bust to the hype I put on him

stop changing the goal post.


---
also what does who is defending who when players are out have to do with anything ...nate hinton often guards 4s, he is a combo guard..but size wise you have to play smart match ups..size wise foster is smaller than mike
but an interesting defensive point was that mike was a playing a guard position in the zone you had when you started the gtown game

i was talking about the offense since you we were talking about offensive production, and what changed..and when i say "3" i mean the roles of a 3, basketball is positionless now a days .. but yes, he is more free to take up more guard roles, with foster in.....so you think it is pure coincidence he started to produce better just when foster came back?

but back to point stop changing the goal post..i never said he'd averge 2 pts a game...i said he is a nice role players but wont fit the hype smu put on him..role players can score 14 vs tcu in a loss, armoni was role player last year and had 25pt games...a game-changing player would have scored enough for yall to win vs usm

I watched every second of this game... We also play Northwestern st in a week so I thought this would be a good game to watch

2) I didn't call Mike a bust overall, I called him a bust to your expectations, and again it wasn't 1 game I watched 4 games..
He isn't aggressive and doesn't have a motor, and there really isn't anything game-changing about him ...he is at best a role player


He played over 20mins in all scrimmages and lost all but one and at no point did he do anything to fight for the team to get back... against teams he vastly out talented... Basketball is basketball...Whitt was actually fighting in those games

Stop being a homer and attacking because every take doesn't d-ride smu

So Mike is averaging 16 points and 6 boards per his last five which includes games against TCU and Georgetown. He got to the line 13 times against Georgetown and was named to the AAC honor roll this week. Not bad for a sophomore who was out of game action for over a year and labeled a role player at best by the AAC b-ball expert. So overrated, unaggressive with no motor. You should be a scout pesik.

you are aware smu is already eliminated from an atlarge and we are only a1/3rd into the season??

again i never said he was bad, i just said he was role player...still 100% think that

im not sure if you remember the true genesis of this debate, it was months ago. i said id ranked smu 5th or 6th, a few smu fans instantly attacked me saying smu is top3/4 in the league with adding nba level talent with Mike along with the return of foster

the season has started and smu is projected to be competing for 7/8th, worse than my projection. Mike isnt game-changing at all in respect to the smu hype..he hasnt changed smu to the expectations they had

mike is 100% a bust to the smu expectations, beating up bad teams doesn't change that

also, my opinion of his game hasn't changed....but do you know what i think has made him more productive the last 5 games..foster came back and he got to move to the 3 (now a guard)...he has no motor and just posts up at the 3, as a big he wasn't bringing much to the table. but as a guard posting up for 3 is fine, guards dont need motor to be fighting for rebounds (vs bigs), he now outsizes everyone defending him so making layups & shooting is easier & he only has to outrebound guards

he's developed into a nice role player at the 3, but still a role player
lol when you’re wrong you just double down rather than admitting you’re wrong. Then you throw out uneducated diarrhea of the keyboard to justify your opinion.

First, I haven’t mentioned the success of the team or lackthereof. We are discussing Mike. Not sure why you are bringing that up. But eleven games in at SMU as a sophomore averaging 11 & 5 after getting off to a very slow start Mike is 100% a bust? Okay.

As far as us and Mike beating up on bad teams. Well our last two have been against TCU and Georgetown. Mike’s lines in those two games:

TCU - 14 points on 4-of-8 shooting (2-of-5 from three) and 7 boards (5 offensive)
Georgetown - 17 points on 4-of-11 shooting (no threes) and 9 boards (3 offense). Also he was attacking the bucket all game getting to line 13 times.

And your last paragraph is so full of misinformation I don’t know where to begin. Mike has never played the 3 or been defended by a guard while at SMU. Jarrey has been back two games and has just been a shadow of himself. Jarrey is way more of a guard/perimeter player than Mike. Mike and Chargois are our only two interior players. Against Georgetown Mike was often guarding Govan when Chargois was out. On the other end Mike was either guarded by Mourning, Govan or Leblanc. Where are you getting this guard stuff from? Also, Chargois is such a liability on the defensive end that has forced Mike to often help on the other team’s big.

I agree with your take. We are still a team with a lot of unknowns. We have a questionable HC who can’t recruit to save his ass. And to be honest most want him gone asap. That said, we have a pretty talented team. I would put our starting five against anyone in the conference, but our bench is thin which is more of an indictment on Jank’s recruiting rather than sanctions.

The development of Hunt and how close Jarrey can return to old form are the keys IMO. UH and Cincy are the class of the conference and I believe 3-8 are very close. It will be interesting how it plays out.
