Rambacker, I hear where you are coming from, but I do not think that too many of these posts were mean spirited, though some were. I certainly do not think that mine were and since you do not pinpoint specific people it is hard to tell which posts you are referring to. I think both Binns and Greene are good kids, or young men, whichever is the preferred term. I see a lot more promise in Greene than Binns, but that is not to say that Binns does not have a lot of promise as well. The beauty of it all is that they still have 3 full seasons to continue to improve. When I think of players and how much they can improve I think of guys like Arseni Kuchinsky. When he first got here I think few of us could stomach his time on the court, but by the time he was done many of us were hoping the NCAA would give him his 4th year much like we did with Mushon this year.

In reply to: Rambacker 's message, "I consider the posts here on Binns and Greene to be mean-spirited and illogical. These guys are FRESHMEN! Are you kidding me? Let's keep a rational perspective on these 18-19 year olds. You'd think we were talking about 30 year old NBA players. Give me a break. These folks need to get real on this, and quick." on Tue March 22, 2005 20:13:22

I just think we should err on the side of caution when criticizing freshman players on our team. Some of the posts were over the top and uncalled for. Let these young guys develop and let's give them a break. If they play badly as upperclasmen, then go for it. But let's go easy when they're just starting out.
