What? No one said that Washington was going to be "the best player in the SBC."

Don't you know? Putting quotes around something shifts the time-space continuum. Similar to how by the time the Panthers head to the improbably named Diddle Arena, we will have all claimed that RJ's dropping 40. It's the law of message board smack escalation.

by the time you come to e.a. diddle arena (named after coach edgar allen diddle) i'll have the 'gonna drop 40 on us' quote pinned on coach hunter....it is the law of escalation. (i like that amigo)

You know what would be really funny?

If RJ actually did drop 40 on WKU. That would be hilarious

Cannot wait until basketball season starts!

it's not gonna happen. the most anyone scored last year @ diddle was 25. that includes the likes of augustine rubit, gregg gant, malik smith, and TREY FINN. brandon harris and trency jackson will make your boy work for every single one of his 40.

what about a friendly wager?

your boy doesn't score 40 and you change your siggy to "i went to bowling green and all i got was diddled"

michael jordan jr. drops 40 on us and you come up with a siggy for me to pay homage.

Given adequate personnel (not like the group we ended up with due to injuries last year) Ray Harper will not let any player put up 40 pts on WKU.

To my knowledge, even with depleted rosters, nobody hung 40 in Diddle last year. It isn't happening. Heck, GSU might not hang 40 in diddle.

just because a kid transfers in from a name school doesnt necessarily mean he's good, but on the other hand big time programs dont even recruit players that arent good, so somebody must have thought that player had high marks or plenty of potential. a kid coming in from a name program has probably been exposed to some good coaching and is probably going to be an asset unless the other program dumped him for some reason.

I'm going to let the butthole in me take over on this one. You're stupid! USC, "big time"? "named program" they had some success here and there but far from big time or a named program in basketball.

But that means nothing because there's a reason coaches gets fired and there's a reason Kevin O'Neill is not coaching....

they make major mistakes in evaluating talent. Why don't you go ahead and say what you really mean and that's you think any player that played in a BCS conference must be better than just about any that plays in the SBC. Isn't that what you really mean? Some transfers works out and some don't but it has very little with which school recruited them.

For the record... what did Washington do in high school at Elizabethtown HS (I think thats where he is from). Look that up Guns.

Good luck with Washington.

We are not relying on Washington to be the best player on the team. How in the world can he be "the best player in the SBC" when he's not even the 4th best player on the team?!

He was injured during his time at USC. But, he's healthy now. According to Coach Hunter, Washington brings us skill down in the post. We aren't counting on Washington to average 10ppg. If he can give us somewhere around 7-8ppg and 7-10rpg, GSU will be winning a bunch of games BOOK IT. The scoring will be well taking care of by the other players.

Yeah I don't really understand how these WKU fan misread their fellow fan's post about Harrow and Washington.

Let's re-post the convo again:

Harrow is coming. But, he's talking about Curtis Washington, the big man transfer from USC. He sat out last year and can play now. Coach Hunter has been saying good things about him.

RJ can drop 40 on any given night. Coach said he has the highest ceiling of any player on the roster. Not saying that he will drop 40 on your school, but you never know.

Well I guess we all could say that about at least one player on our teams but it would help if he had already did it at least once. He's only gone over 30 once.

Curtis Washington might be good, might not, but to say a kid that scored 11 points in the last 3 years is the arguably the best player in the SBC before playing a game is beyond stupid.

Like I said he might be great if so he's improved tons since HS where he didn't make the Ky all state team. You better hope he's grownup since HS where he was kicked off his team because he couldn't/wouldn't listen to the coach.


Let me give you a clue....just because a kid played (which he didn't "play") for a USC or any other school from a BCS conference doesn't mean he will all of a sudden be the "best player in the SBC". Or the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 20th

Dahbeed says that: "ga. state will be a player with arguably the best player (hunter) in the conference (he's gonna drop 40 on us they say). the uk failure is not a big man. he failed at nc state then at uk. he's a 6'1 point god if my memory serves me."

It's pretty clear to me that Dahbeed was referring to RJ Hunter as the "best player in the conference. I say this because Dahbeed put "(hunter)" after his "best player..." statement.

Hammer then clarified that the "big man" transfer being spoken about in the article was not Harrow as Dahbeed seemed to be believe but rather Curtis Washington.

Somehow WKUYG interpreted all of this to mean that Washington would be the "best player in the conference."

Well...that wasn't what was said.

If that is the case then I guess we both were wrong because the blogger wasn't talking about Washington at all...

) Georgia State - Ron Hunter moves into the Sun Belt from the Colonial Athletic Association with the Panthers, and already has a serious contender to return Georgia State to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since Lefty Driesell coached there in the early 2000s. Hunter, in addition to his son R.J.; his sophomore shooting guard and leading scorer last year, also gets the services of Kentucky transfer Ryan Harrow at the point guard position, with senior Devonta White joining the duo. Size will be a concern, however, and 6-6 wings Manny Atkins and Markus Crider will be counted on to make a significant impact.

It still doesn't explain why GST fans seem to think since a kid played or went to another school in a bcs conference it must make them a better player than anyone in the SBC...or talented

Where have Georgia State fans say or think that?

Georgia State fans know from first hand experience that this not the case. Take a look at Rod Barnes' failed transfer experiment: http://www.accessnorthgeorgia.com/detail.php?n=215175 and http://www.examiner.com/article/georgia-...es-2008-09 for some history.

WKUYG,

'runamuck' is a UTA fan (check out the info under his/her username). Plus, reading that, it doesn't sound to me that he/she even believes what your are saying he believes. I mean, he/she starts the post with "just because a kid transfers in from a name school doesnt necessarily mean he's good...."
