I genuinely think he will average more than 10pts per game (11 or 12). 8 boards? Probably not. But he will certainly be well above the 4 that Dufault gave us (~6).

Are Our Expectations for Jelly Scott Too High?
- Thread starter Goose
- Start date
I am the first to admit that big men take time in the kiln to set. The examples are too numerous to mention, but Goose did a great job laying out the recent vintages. The thing that sets big men back at the college level is that their offensive skillset is mostly undeveloped. In high school, they go against guys who are smaller, less physically capable, and rely on physical discrepancies, rather than skill, to score points.
From everything anyone has said about Jelly, however, his offensive game is mature, and robust. That makes me think that his transition issues to college basketball will be of a different nature. In fact, I think he'll struggle mostly on the defensive end.
He's also a faster version of a big man, and should be capable on the break for easy scores. Put me down for double-digits.

You should get checked out. Your thoughts are very close to mine.

Sorry, with the explosion of AAU teams and tourneys, your premise that "college is the first time they're playing against other true bigs" is no longer the case! In Colorado, HS BB plays what? 24 games a year? I'll wager Scott played upwards of 30 gamse per summer against very good and BIG AAU competition. In fact, he really first got noticed as a result of dominating more highly touted "bigs" in such AAU summer tournaments.
It ain't your father's college prep for basketball!
Something to keep in mind with Scott is that he's not your typical 18-year old big man. Usually, we see awkward physical specimens that have a post move or two and can't make free throws.
Scott's a different animal.
His offensive repertoire in the post is ahead of a lot of NBA big men right now. Scott's development is more about gaining strength and learning the system than it is about learning to be a big man. Because of this, I think we'll see numbers similar to what's typical of a top college big man's junior year... as long as he can stay out of foul trouble.

You went to Europe to see them play?

The games were streamed via audio only, so you must have special powers....
That's what I said!
:lol: That boy just plain makes **** up.
How are you posting while jumping from space?
You are unbelievably stupid
What site streamed the video? I wish I would have known about it. What uniforms did our guys wear?

It sure would have been nice if you would have chimed into this thread when we were all talking about the games and interacting with the French Announcers. I guess there must have been a camera crew and another announcing crew that we all missed.
How does it feel to not only be slightly smarter than a 10 day old prematurely born Fusker meth baby, but also a filthy, pathetic liar?
Every time I think BB2 has reached the pinnacle of message board fail, he finds a way to surprise me.

This fail was rather epic. It did make me smile.

My expectation is that Josh Scott will eventually graduate from CU and have a successful career at Star Fleet Command.
I haven't read this whole thread but my observation on Scott right now is that he needs to get a mean streak in him. He seems to be a little soft at times but then he can be tough when he wants to. He certainly has the talent to dominate but I just want to see him have that toughness for the whole game and not just when he feels he needs to turn it on.
And OT; Why is it not a foul on the offensive player when the defensive player has position and the offensive post player gets the ball down low and the offensive player then just lowers his shoulder and bangs in to the defensive player a couple times to move him back. That is so frustrating to me when that is not called. A few times that happened to Scott against Harvard and the refs just let it happen.

The refs were not calling that the way they're supposed to. Harvard quickly adjusted. We didn't. Part of that is that it was so different than our previous games had been officiated. Part of that is that we're too finesse and don't have guys who are thinking about tearing the rim down when they get the ball inside.
Yes. When he's focused. What's held Miller back a bit is inconsistent effort. Early reports from his Post-grad year have been good so far, though.
His (Miller) Prep school plays about 30 minutes away from me, when I have the time available I think I will try to catch a game. This might be a stupid question, but since he has already signed his LOI, there is nothing barring me from telling him good luck and happy he is a Buff correct? If anything of note happens during the game I will report back.
