I'd add the 07 class as well. I think Leuer is going to be a good player, at least offensively, (although his work on the boards is just plain offensive at times). But Nankavil really hasn't shown much and has played his way entirely out of the rotation. I don't care how big a hard-on Bo has for Jarmusz's role on two state champ teams, he really is a non-entity out on the court. It's 4 on 5. He's not big ten talent.

TJ is the best pure jump shooter on the team. I wish Bo would not scare his players away from shooting. It took Jbo three years before he started taking early shots.

[Jcwisco]

I got to step in and shield some of the flack Jarmuscz is getting, he is the best shooter they have had the last 10 games outside of Landry's 1 game behind the arc.... He kind of reminds me of Penney as a younger player all Penney could do was hit jump shots to, ya he is limited offensively but on defense mainly help defense he is above avg.

As for Pop he should never have come to Wisconsin, this offense is killing his entire game, every thing he is good at. The main reason his shooting % is so low this year is because 70 % of his shoots come as the shoot clock is below 5 off that stupid pick and roll play they run right into the teeth of the defense and he is usually shooting over 2 guys both of which usually have more than 4 inches on him....

I'm just responding to you saying we didn't beat anybody. I get that michigans wins should count for something. But shouldn't head to head matchups and how the teams play during their conference season mean more?

Why bash Hughes Heavy? Its not his fault he plays on a team that is filled with role players who are afraid to shoot for whatever reason(Bo pulling them, whatever) TH trys to involve his team it just that usually it ends up back in his hands with under 5 seconds left.

[badgerbasketball33]

I agree. I wish Hughes would go back to the way he played last year. He forced a lot but we really need those points. He had a nice tourney last year so hopefully he can keep it up. Next year bo will take the leash off and he should average around 15 or 16 ppg.

I'd like to defend Jarmusz, too. He's actually a better shooter than bohannon and he's got 3-4 inches on him. If I had to choose between getting rid of bohannon or Jarmusz i'd pick the former.

Ditto, but try like 5 or 6 inches, TJ seems a legit 6'7/6'8.

[Ostudent09]

I've seen Bohannon in the mall. He's a lot taller then I expected. I would say he's 6'4". TJ seems like he's 6'7. so more like 3-4 inches.

really? Thats kinda surprising I guess he does have a few inches on Trevon.

[Ostudent09]

I think its because he plays like he's 6'2", but ya I was very suprised how tall he was.

Why are you quoting my post? I didn't bash Hughes.

And LOL to those arguing TJ's worth by saying he's a better shooter than JBo. He only had 46 attempts. He may well be a better shooter than JBo, but is that very hard to do? He's the most overrated shooter in recent program history.

If mediocre is good enough for you, then yeah, I guess you're happy with TJ.
