NO Myers

[SteelHeadEer]

That's unfortunate. He would have made this team even more dangerous.

Looks Like he is going back to Juco for the fall. Hopefully he can enroll in December.

Seen some " expert " say he was in California yesterday but then seen him tweet last night and the tweet location was Williston, SD which is the Juco he attended last year.

 

[KeatonsCorner]

On the 18th, he tweeted from Los Angeles. Yesterday evening, he tweeted from back at his JUCO in SD.



I already know you stalk my posts on this and the other forum, but sorry I disappointed you in not knowing Teyvon's travel schedule.

Myers will be joining the team following the 1st semester and will redshirt, barring injury, the rest of the season.

I read a few message boards to get a little info and insight to what is going on with WVU. You are a common denominator everywhere. You argue with everyone. I am just amazed that people don't see that you shovel as much bullshit as you do accurate info.

I read your posts because whether one likes or dislikes your manner, you deliver somewhat accurate info about WVU BB targets that is funneled your way. One just has to learn to maneuver through the amazing amounts of spin and bullshit.

Anyways, back to Myers.

While he would have definitely caused a lot of guys to lose minutes and we will undoubtedly miss his scoring, handles, shooting, and play-making, I think team chemistry just might be the one benefit to him coming in December and red-shirting the spring. Paige and Philip are the two most likely to benefit the most because I think their minutes would have be the most affected.

You are so bored but I will admit that made me chuckle.

Myers is absolutely a significant setback that was expected by no one, including Huggins, who felt earlier this summer Myers would enroll & join the team in August once the fall semester began.

As to Myers not coming to WVU at all & apparently going back to JUCO across the country, I don't entirely get that. Must not be able to enroll at WVU just yet. Let's hope one delay doesn't turn into more.

Seemed everyone was in agreement he'd play an impactful role this season, and even had a possible shot at earning the starting PG job as the season progressed.

The team does need additional scoring punch (2-year leading scorer is gone) & could certainly improve shooting percentages from 3, 2 & FTs. Of course the nation's leading JUCO scorer could only help in those ways. Same for Myers' passing, driving & transition game.

In his absence, we've got a PG who hasn't started yet - but has some experience and ability yes - and a true freshman PG who should be good in time, but needs to get acclimated to division I basketball.

Even though Carter gives WV his most productive minutes at the 2, he's gonna hhave to contribute at the 1. Unless Phillip & Bolden can together service the position, which could turn out.

 

[pressvirginia]

not lost in this is I'm thankful Ahmad became eligible.

otherwise the class is Beetle & Lamont. Watkins redshirt & Goard needing to step into a key role.

It's a chat board .... how does someone "stalk" posts?

I'll hang up and listen. I'll get back in a day or two or three to see if there is an explanation offered.

And let me add this right now .... I assume that it is normal to read people's posts on a chat board in order to find out what they say. And I assume that readers/posters on a chat board will have favorite posters they read because: 1) They find the poster entertaining or thoughtful. 2) They find the poster often offering useful information. 3) They find the poster to often be controversial or wrong. AND THEN .... after reading this particular poster they may respond.

How is this not normal chat board behavior?

You should know this by now... It's Keaton tactic #36.

When called out or shown to be incorrect, refer to poster as a "stalker" or "follower".

 

[Orlaco]

I think some people do 'stalk' other posters.

Hurdy posted time and time again praising another persons reply to me in a single thread...yet he never added his opinion on topic or participated in a sensible manner that had anything to do with the flow of the discussion AND I never directly replied to him (and it was obviously driving him nuts).

----------

I know he'll get a hard-on simply because I typed his name (aka alias)... ....but he really does fall into a class that could be considered stalkers.

When he's replying to his 'prey' he loses all logic and reasoning....

 

[KeatonsCorner]

The questions about scoring are the same empty concerns that came when we got rid of Harris and Henderson........ Our increased production at the 2, 3, and 4 will cover any drop off at PG in the points department....

There is a reason we are preseason top 20

 

[Orlaco]

Scoring wouldn't be considered that reason.

Keaton is definitely a lightning rod.

Problem is everyone knows his obvious BS.

When found out to be incorrect or flat out making shit up he dissembles or deflects or twists words or his favorite, casting aspersions at those that call him out. Kid is full of douchebaggery as them come.

While I think he is bored and takes great pleasure in cruising the message boards and stirring up angst, one can never EVER question his blind devotion and unusual man crush on all things Bob Huggins. That be the one constant you can bet your ass on.

This whole post is a great example of his BS. Empty concerns? So laughable and predictable.

We absolutely have concerns at PG, everyone knows it...........even Casey, though he will never admit it.

 

[pressvirginia]

always a PG is needed to facilitate offense & assist the rest of the team. Staten was a rare talent & will be missed. Led the BXII in scoring as a junior ahead of A.Wiggins. Browne too was a 4-year guy & gave solid minutes plus leadership.

while the team was No. 2 in the BXII in scoring, it's shooting percentages were among the bottom. have to work so hard on the glass & with points off turnovers. improved shooting accuracy will allow for more pressing too.

I am confident Huggs will find a way & a rotation that works.

 

[KeatonsCorner]

Perhaps cats should reread my post then and see where I distinctly addressed the SCORING from the PG spot.

No we will not have a 1st team all conference PG this year. But all we need is consistency to benefit our 1st team PF, SG, and hopefully all rookie SF


It isnt spin or BS. My confidence stems simply from actually knowing what is going on with the team, not trout fishing up in Michigan and being a proxy-insider

WVU will be fine at PG in 2015. Phillip brings the calm stability of a JD or Darris..... Who can get in the lane and dish out to guys like Dax, Paige, and Carter for 3s. Carter is a good scoring PG but he is proven more productive off the ball so it is simply where can we max his use? Bolden could be starting if he had 20lbs more on his frame.

Btw, Carter is up over 205lbs now and he has added the bulk to be able to get into the paint and take the blows to get to the line --- ala Truck Bryant

 

[skygusty]

I think we will be OK at guard. Where I'd like to see improvement is the three footers, the lay-ups and the put-backs. Too many bunnies missed. It seems to me that while our guys are great at getting offensive rebounds, they are often shooting from contorted positions and not square to the basket. They can take an easy shot and find a way to increase the degree of difficulty. Sometimes I think a rebound, followed by a head fake or some footwork would be the better option, if not a kick-out to reset instead of hoisting it up from a bad position. I like the depth - should be a fun team to watch develop.

It's too bad we all don't have twitter accounts or PMs from GMan so we could be a self proclaimed insider too...

I don't think I could handle the masturbating to Bob Huggins picture prerequisites that go along with that though.

You made a mistake... You went with tactic #36 again when you were supposed to go with tactic #18: (Respond claiming you have poster in question blocked and are unable to see their response).

 

[KeatonsCorner]

Example A.......


And for those who actually are here to discuss WVU Basketball, the team had the week off this week. However, the PGs demanded that all players attend the daily open gym sessions, with exceptions being the guys who are hurt.

From those who watched, true freshman LaMont West has performed the best all week, and is highly likely to play his way out of the redshirt situation. He's quickly making the coaches have to put him in the rotation with his progress. The light bulb has simply "went on" once Andy started adding strength to his frame. They had pretty much a full scrimmage on Tuesday, and West was dominant.

Tactic #23: Pompously attempting the high road...

 

[pressvirginia]

so there's what 5 guards now? You'd think a couple will emerge who can handle PG duties. I think Esa was touted as a guy who could be a 1-3 even. High bball IQ, feel for the game, good passer, shooter, can dribble & penetrate. The traits of a PG. Just putting another name in the mix if it were to come to that. I still think it'll be Phillip/Carter/Bolden in differing order & pending who is effective on what night.

The caveat is true PG depth & experience is lacking a bit right at this very moment. No Myers is a setback as he would have helped solidify the position that just graduated 2 seniors. That got the ball rolling for this discussion.

& for the others on the floor, this all is important. X, Y and Z receivers need a good QB the same way 2s, 3s and 4s need a good PG.

it's great to hear Lamont West is showing up as an early and pleasant surprise. I'm all for contributors of every variety rather than future potential watching from the bench all season & getting no experience.

This is a great post.

Claims I am " stalking " his post and then does a search on my profile pic to discover when and where it was taken. The irony is so thick..

Then makes claim that I am a " proxy " insider as opposed to NJGmans little mouth piece. Again, so much irony...

Then makes claims that Phillip will bring calm stability and has the audaciousness to compare him to JD or Darris ( using their first names to try to convince he actually knows them on a first name basis, so full of shit ).

Then,........... then he states Bolden " could " start if only he weighed 205 pounds which undermines his own BS talking about Philip and his " stability ". Wow, if only our PG concerns weren't so " empty ".

Kid is such a message board hero.

 

[eers1foru]

Wait a couple years he'll post the numbers that prove those teams before last season weren't very good while defending another one of his posts. Even though he defended them tooth and nail while they were sorely underperforming. Just like the football program. I mean the numbers prove it!

 

[KeatonsCorner]

"the audaciousness to compare him to JD or Darris"

JD Collins was a career 4pts/game, 2 rebounds/game, 3 assist/game point guard

Darris Nichols was a career 7pts/game, 2 rebounds/game, 3 assists/game point guard

When Darris Nichols backed up JD in his first 2 seasons - 3pts/ 1 rebound/ 1.5 assists

In his first season, Tarik was a 4pts/game, 1.5 rebounds/game, 1 assist/game point guard backing up an 1st Team All Conference Repeater....

And Phillip is a much better defender than both of those guys as well..................... it is a very reasonable comparison.



my question is why is there Texas A&M/Houston grad so concerned about WVU basketball?

Trying so hard..........so hard to use the degree he got from PITT do get the the goods. You've been warned by Vernon already about trying to dig up personal info on people Casey. So who is stalking who..........

He does nothing but run around all the message boards whenever there is shit going on he's in the middle of it. He gets into it with everyone. He is the biggest ass hat troll and has been for a long time.
He will eventually go to far and someone will catch him out and about, of this I have no doubts. Even I, who could give a shit less who he is or what he looks like knows his name and what he looks like because people dislike him so much that they have outed him. I use to like the sig that had him and huggs in an embrace.

 

[eers1foru]

I think that's a little strong. But I've learned to look over his unwillingness to admit that we have been god awful in both sports until Huggs finally quit going the mercenary route and recruited kids who want to be here. Mainly because he does have some good info. And let's face it we all have our personality quirks. Keaton is a homer to the core. And I can't make up my mind how I feel about our football team. Although I'm pretty sure our coach isn't the best I do hold optimism for him to get better. But that quickly turns to disdain if we hit one of his patented November skids. I flip flop. Keaton refuses to think our coaches, or WVU for that matter, can do any wrong. It's kinda what you get when you come to one of these boards. Peoples personalities are all over the place.

 

[HurdyGurdyEer]

Show us this place where I posted "time and time again." I remember one thread a few weeks ago in which I made several posts that called you into question. Other than that I have no idea what you would be talking about. And I have been on this board since then NOT on a daily basis and have made very few posts. In your book this makes me a "stalker."

I am guessing that you actually believe your own BS. But you should know that few others believe it.

I rest my case. Keaton's assertion that Steel is a stalker has been shown to be an empty bag. That's the real story here. Not some fabricated assertion about me being a stalker. (Which is exactly what Keaton did to Steel. Hmmmm? Makes you wonder.)

And thus ends the latest edition of my illogical posting.

PS: Just for the fun of it .... if Orlaco pulls up this thread in which I time and time again praised another person's reply to him/her/it I think, if my memory serves me correctly (and sometimes it doesn't), you will see that it was not "Orlaco" who posted in that thread. It was Lowfatmilk or whatever that other handle is that he/she/it goes by. Makes you wonder how many handles he/she/it actually has and what kind of game he/she/it plays.

I cannot imagine what else I would say to Keaton, Orlaco, LowFat or anyone else in this thread about the issue of "stalking." But it becomes more and more clear who stalks who. Or as they used to say when I was growing up ...."The smeller is the fellar!"

I'm expecting Goard to surprise with some good minutes too. I liked what I saw of him in Vernons feeds from the Bahamas. West has a great attitude and hustle, but he does need a little strength and weight. Did Adrian have surgery as well as Watkins this year?

 

[KeatonsCorner]

Adrian had wist surgery in July. His rehab is 6 weeks and he will be 100% by the start of camp in October...

Expect Nate to shoot the rock again at 36% from deep like he did his freshman season


As for Steel........ I may be a WVU and Pitt grad, but I might start being a fan of Georgia Tech soon

lol!

 

[MikeRafone]

Good God! Don't you folks know that bulletin boards are for trolling?

Why do you think Al Gore invented the internet? He thought that Tipper annoying people in cyberspace was better than her going on television and annoying the entire country over songs whose lyrics no one could understand backwards or forwards.

Play on, Keaton!

 

[KeatonsCorner]

Bump because the Practice Facility is featuring an extra player this evening in the form of a 6'3 JUCO Scoring Leader!!!!!!


Huggs is the man

whoo hooo!

Excellent dude!:basketball: [WVU]

 

[VaultHunter]

This is not that big a loss. Esa was the one type of player WVU needed to put them over the top. The other incoming guys add more quality depth. If everyone stays healthy this will be a great season for WVU.

Huggins has built a monster....Better jump on the bandwagon now!
