Telling people to go back to Rivals. Its the exact same crap post after post that is killing this board. Color me surprised! Put us on ignore so you don't have to see it if it bothers you that much. Also where did you see me tell him to go back to rivals in any of my post today. So we are not allowed to question another posters remarks on here if we disagree with them. I just showed facts of Damon's career that shows his career was not a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was also by far the most hyped up player we've ever had in our program. He did not live up to the hype. It's just a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly disagree with that statement because he totally lived up to the hype. He finished 6th in school history in scoring and was part of the winingest 3 year span in school history. Hos team all went to at least the sweet 16 and went to a final four and another elite 8. What did you think he would do win 4 national championships and average 35 points a game. Also some needs to learn what the definition of the word fact is. You saying him not living up to his hype is not a fact but an opinion because there is no way to prove that.

It wasnt all breakaway dunks or wide open 3's. He broke down defenders in the post and with dribbling with a purpose, not just to dribble. Showed helpside defense AND a dime of a post entry pass. Nice to see highlights from a game and not an "AND1 mixtape" highlight reel. it was all against the same team. they looked like a bunch of little white kids from the jv team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see it but there are some good interviews with Zach McRoberts, Juwan Morgan and (I believe) Romeo where they recount these experiences. Juwan straight up said he could’ve been the best freshman on the team last year (and he included Romeo among those freshman). He also said he didn’t play like a freshman - he was aggressive and he’d go right at you. If healthy it’s like the team could be getting a second 5 star caliber player this year.

milehiiu Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Not living up to the hype. Is not the fault of the player. But rather the fault of the fans. And at times the University.

He also said Damon Bailey didn't either but I showed him with stats that he did. When it comes to meeting expectations it is usually the fans fault for having unrealistic expectations of young kids that can't be met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is proving to be true. That is not taking anything away from what he did on the court it was a compliment to the type of young man he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
