I would be willing to bet if we searched hard enough, we'd find posts in a thread like this talking about how AJ was no Squeaky.

There's no doubt in my mind that Nick Norton will be a Blazer great by the time we give him that framed jersey on Senior Day.

I'd be willing to take that as well. It's just funny we are complaining about a guy who had one turnover in a game that we won.(and hit clutch free throws at the end of the game).

Dirk is a good shooter. Not sure about his ball handling.

We sure do give Norton a lot of **** considering his freshmen numbers are going to be some of the best in UAB history.

If I came across as critical of Norton, that wasnt my intention. He is playing great, especially for a freshman. What I meant is that we need someone skilled with moving the ball on the floor with him to make it harder for the defense to be effective in pressuring us us in critical situations. When Nick isnt on the floor, we get very sloppy and hesitant in getting the ball down the court under pressure, and even without pressure our offensive flow gets stagnant.

Don't know if it was mentioned we recruited Patterson and Jackson .
