DeAaron Williams

[tornado]

Mex-- I don't know a lot of the details of what's going on at ICC,
but here's what I have heard from some people who are close to the situation...

First, the ICC game plan is uptempo and sometimes a little chaotic, and so DeAaron does occasionally look a little undisciplined, but note that he is NOT shooting many threes, he stays within his range, gets a lot of buckets by beating people to the hoop, and even gets a few assists.
The ICC offense has a couple pretty darned good point guards, and yet DeAaron's assist numbers aren't bad by comparison...

Jeff Wires- 3.6 assists
Wendell Mardis- 3.2 assists
Tad Sterling- 2.6 assists
DeAaron Williams- 2.2 assists

I have heard that he is a good student and doing OK with his classes, and most of all, he is getting along very well with coach and teammates, and the only pubicized issue (a 3 game suspension) was because of missing practice, and DeAaron accepted the discipline well, and he actually been playing well since he came back from the suspension.

If you have never watched him play, then it is hard to convince you, but I have seen him over a dozen times including back in high school, and he is a tremendously exciting and explosive player who can change games in a flash with steals, breakaways, good defense, and the ability to score.

He is rated as one of the Top 20 (#19) juco players in the nation, and every one of those ranked ahead of him that's committed to a four year school, is going to a BCS school, so BU has the highest rated guy who is going mid-major.

Everyone's points may be mute if he doesn't finish his classes successfully this spring and summer. That is the real concern.

Our points will be silent???Or perhaps did you mean moot

All true, but as I stated he is in for a rude awakening if he makes it to BU. And a rude awakening is exactly what he needs, and if he does buy in then look out....but it will require an entire paradme shift like he has never been subjected to. If anyone can get him to abide its JL and CB...but I am skeptical at best.

No, mute is fine as they will be silent and go no further. Moot (meaning doubtful, unresolved, disputable) would not fit this situation. Where were you during my 4 years of graduate school to proof read my papers?[/b]

Where were you (jiminy cricket) when I was in graduate school to proof read my papers?

With Pinocchio.

Perhaps you mean "paradigm" not "paradme".

Coach, you are the man on this board!

It's a moo point- like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.

Maybe he really means "paradimes" since
DeAaron Williams does average a couple of assists per game!

I was at the Spoon River game and let me tell you DW was the laziest kid on the floor. He did not run up and down the floor he walked and did not play defense what so ever if I was the coach he would have been on the bench.He acts like he doesn't want to be there at all.

Would you want to be at ICC?

Youre probably just trying to be funny, but let me tell you ICC is a fine Junior Collee and a place that gave Mr Williams the opportunity he has in front of him. In addition to that Coach Y has built a very nice program that is a perenial national contender. So whether or not he wants to be there, he is lucky to be there. I have seen him play and while his number might give the indication that he is geting better, he is not putting in the time and does not have the attitiude of a kid that is fighting to get to the next level. If he makes it to BU, he's in for a rude awakening

Hey Jiminy, since you are playing spellchecker, what kind of national power is Coach Y building at ICC? And what in the world is a junior collee? Junior Collee? Perenial? Geting? I don't know what number DeAaron wears, but i doubt it gives any indication that he is getting better. I'm also not sure what an attitiude is?--maybe French? Let's not start jumping others for 1 incorrect spelling when your post is full of them, and don't tell me that he used the wrong word entirely, not just misspelled it, we all knew what he meant.

I recall correcting a couple people over on another board a couple years ago (and they USED to have a spellchecker then) - and I got BLASTED by the posters for picking on them.
