LA vs. UT Arlington

[duggie85]

Did he look like one of the best players in the country tonight, 2/8/14? He looked pretty ordinary and held in check by a pretty ordinary single individual. Two scouts there tonight, maybe that got him too worked up, but he did hit his free throws, and play good defense.

Did Hudspeth look like one of the hottest coaches against ULM or 2nd year FBS USA? Foolish to judge Hudspeth or Elfrid or anyone on a single performance. As Stevie P says, large sample size is what matters.

[duggie85]

It blows my mind how so many UL fans don't give Elfrid the credit he is receiving. 95% of all the nba experts are saying he is first round material, either this year or next. That means out of every single eligible basketball player in the world, at worst, they are projecting him as a top 60 player. In the world. And people here say no way.

But let Scout.com say one of our fball commits is a 1*, not a 2*, and all hell breaks loose.

Yes, I think I said TONIGHT. EP has had several ok performances, this year. Screw the philosophy of Stevie P, the largest sample is in fact the full season to him.

No, Hud did not look like one of the hottest coaches, and he was not offered a job with a big time program as I recall. Maybe because of ULM, and USA, or getting blown out by BCS teams. And before you ask me how do I know he was not offered a BCS program job, well he is still here.

I think we'll have a pretty good idea of where he stands after the season ends. At this point the mock draft sites tend to be just like the national media in that they don't get a good look at talent from schools like UL.

I hope he stays!

the bloggers may not but the scouts do, they have been at every home game and many practices looking and they like what they see. However it would be nice if we could for 5 minutes stop the Jadeveon Clowney routine where we build a kid up to something no one could live up to then trash him for not being something he never said he was.

Elfrid did do some good things today despite not having a high FG%. I would have liked to see more out of what I saw on the winning play. Penetrate and dish to open perimeter guys. I know he did it some early but the shots were not falling until late in the game. When the outside was not working, he likely decided to be aggressive in attempts to draw fouls. There were plenty of times when he could have gone to the line as he drove but did not get the call. Texas State would not have complained had that happened a couple of times. That simply was not getting called today (generally on both sides) so something else had to be tried. By the way, I thought Shawn Long worked hard the whole game and had a good attitude the entire contest. That was nice to see.

We won

I think some of his flaws or faux flaws are based off lack of talent on the perimeter. His a driver. His game and Long's for that matter would open up if we had consistent shooter(s). Sometimes he tries to hard because of this. From what I have read, NBA project his potential based off him with better talent around him. They seen his abilities in the Worlds with talent on his team.
