We've got Blazer fans correctly pointing out that Nored wasn't a great player, just a good one. Praise, bash, praise, bash.

My God, we've become like Memphis fans.

We're basketball enough to beat you Nored! Congrats on a nice career at Butler, but I don't care.

And he was basketball enough to beat UAB.

I'm aware of that. We split the series. Both schools are good basketball schools. That's the point.

Remember, we didn't claim he or Butler wasn't basketball enough to compare to UAB.

Don't confuse him Dragon.

can't really argue with his decision, look at his college resume as a player.

Bob Stone had a lot to do with that success too.

Pretty sure he has a lot of family from that area in Indiana.

I don't think anyone begrudged him going to Butler.

He certainly would have been a needed addition, and could have split quite a bit of time from AJ and Jammar, and then would of had the point to himself last season.

maybe Nored chose Butler because he knew that AttallaBlaze

I have played in Hinkle though. Very cool building.

Probably should have been, but I think this would have been the same year Davis was so short of new scholarships for his moronic schemes that he screwed Reggie Huffman out of his to put that cokehead philosophy major from Indiana into school and made Cameron Moore walk on.

I think you're right also he graduated in 2008 ,and in 08 we signed nobody. This is the point I think the program started to decline mixed with the 2009 fiasco and APR XCMD never recovered. Leading us to now where we expected a kid that graduated in 2009 to lead us that we didn't offer either.

Reggie Huffman's treatment has stuck in my craw for years.

Same here! Obviously there is more to this story than I know.
