I saw the kid play at the state championships here in Austin and would want no part of him being on our team. They played a smaller, more athletic team, but he got killed inside. With his size and “skills” he should have dominated the paint, but he got out worked. He looked lazy and slow. He missed some crucial free throws down the stretch, too. And then when they ended up winning, he danced around the court holding his jersey out like he won the game. It really just rubbed me the wrong way. I could be way off, cause it was just one game, but I’d be surprised if he made any kind of major impact on the college level. Big, lazy, and pampered is usually a combination for a bad player. Think Derrick Caracter.

so I’ve got to trust Barnes and the assistants on this one. There must be a reason he was never a potential Longhorn. He may very well end up somewhere other than LSU, but it won’t be in Austin.
