MJ,
You have been spending way too much time on Johnny Jungle! LOL!
I guess when one is in dialogue on a daily basis with the likes of Realfan, Marco Baldi, Illwill, Boo, and the rest of the negative attitude gang, it cannot help but rub off!
impersonating Fun with all the quotes is cute but Fun uses a far superior writing skill set along with some actual validity when challenging a fellow poster.
That said, I appreciate your views nonetheless but all you had to say was "72, I do not think Erv Walker is terrific" and then actually stated WHY!
You actually contracticted yourself in your poor attempt at counterargument by saying:
"Walker has averaged double figures every season for the Gators. I've always enjoyed him as a long-distance shooter. I really wanted this kid when he was coming out of CTK. Unfortunately, to no avail."
WHY would you have wanted this not-so-terrific kid? Yes, he would have been an immediate qualifier.....I agree with you! Yes, he had offers from Stanford and Virginia in addition to Florida......yes, he was a very good student ...even though he went to CTK.
You say ----Stacked" Gator teams? I guess to each his or her own. I guess I don't toss around certain words lightly. They've had some decent-to-good teams since he's been with Florida"
Well SHUT MY MOUTH! If, in Erv's Soph and junior years, being nationally ranked and going to the Elite 8 LAST YEAR is decent-to-good------------I cannot wait until St. John's is FAIR! There I go tossing certain words around lightly again! maybe I should have used the term "very good player" but I doubt that would have kept you silent on my admiration of his game.
Stacked Gator team....well the next time St. John's puts FOUR Parade and McDonald All-Americans on the same court as little 5'8 Walker....who was NOT......I would venture you would have been one of the first the say....Lord All Mighty St. John's will be stacked this year. Yes, you are correct the Gators spent much of the past 2 years being in the national rankings, as they started this year......almost like us!!
Name another terrific guard out of NYC under 5'8? Why Hortaio you missed my point entirely! I think he has been the BEST.....that should be enough considering the many high school kids that began as 5'8 point guards and so many actually grew to 5'10 miraculously in college but always looked 5'8 to me. I am a poor judge of height.
Maybe I should have compared him to Mugsy Bogues, Spudd Webb or Earl Boykins for better effect....no he is not the leapers they were but just as quick IMO.
Oh, and to really get you going.......I think the backcourt of Erv, along with HS ALL-A's Bradley Beal, and Kenny Boynton....with former RU starter Mike Rosario coming off the bench as the 4th guard.......is a TERRIFIC backcourt!
Ours is just SO-SO........at least against the likes of Northeastern, Detroit and especially Kentucky.
