Binns is still recovering from a serious disc problem in his back. Do you have any idea how serious an injury that is? He spent the first 10 games that he played in just reaching a point where he could run without pain. And his play was affected in other ways due to the injury recovery. His stats are very misleading and you need to lay off the kid while he continues to recover from his injury. Why the need to attack this guy? -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: Bronx Boy 's message, "Dear John, your evaluation of SG is on the money, but I can't say the same for your opinion of MB. "Crashin' the boards" in that last game with GW ? Hardly. MB had 28 minutes of PT, and came up with one rebound ! The 2004-2005 season shows MB played in 25 games, with 306 minutes of PT, while haulin' down 49 rebounds. That makes for 1.96 boards per game. He was usually on the outside, chuckin' from downtown, and, by doing so, did not position himself for rebounds. IMHO, MB just doesn't have the game smarts, at the present time, to make him an effective ballplayer. Durin' that last game with GW (I viewed it several times on tape), MB seemed to respond, after the fact, to many game situations. GW, would slash thru the paint, with MB, trailing several steps behind, flailing at the back of a GW jersey. In order to realize his potential, MB has to learn to anticipate the action on the hardwood. With additional coaching, and more playin' time, this may, or may not, come to pass." on Thu March 24, 2005 05:35:56

I'm not attacking the guy. I'm just lettin' you know what I saw in that last game with GW. Besides, what does a bad back have to do with game smarts ? When Big Mike's back is all healed up, will he have any more game smarts ? Why the need to constantly defend the guy with all of your excuses ? 'Fess up, Rambacker, you're the guy who recommended Big Mike for that b-ball scholarship, aren't you? Get over it, move on, and get that point guard for next year.

You have absolutely no clue. Binns will be fine and you need to relax and stop attacking freshman players at Fordham. Try to pick another topic, you are creating a negative influence for the program. Thanks. (NT) -- Rambacker, Sat March 26, 2005 21:52:03

Why are you obsessing on this issue ? I'm not being negative regarding the program, I just state my opinions. That's what this forum is all about, and ..., I back up my opinions, with data. I do not rail at, nor do I demean, posters who do not share my views. We'll have to wait and see what Big Mike does next season. No amount of debating will change what will happen. If MB recovers from his injury, beefs up, and becomes a student of the game, he will contribute to the team, in a meaningful way. I sincerely hope he can do that. If he warms the boards, I guess he'll just be labelled a has Binns. (NT) -- Bronx Boy, Sun March 27, 2005 01:49:03

Ok, are you done going after Binns now? (NT) -- Rambacker, Sun March 27, 2005 08:53:00
You're still obsessing, RB. Further discussion is meaningless at this time. We'll have to adopt a wait and see attitude regarding Big Mike. Check in with you regarding his progress, or, lack of same, around January, 2006. 10-4. (NT) -- Bronx Boy, Mon March 28, 2005 07:17:36
- There's only one person obsessing about Binns, and that's you. I'm just responding to your posts when you take every opportunity to knock him. Give the kid a break - he's a freshman and the best thing about him is he'll be a sophomore next season. (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon March 28, 2005 09:20:31
