    Talent...not performance. Those 3 players have tremendous talent. At one time or another, all 3 have shown flashes of what they can do. I agree about Lloreda as well. To say Brady doesn't have an eye for talent is, well, dumb.

    I think many of us who oppose many of the Brady posts do so more on the content of the posts rather than us being big Brady backers. I'm not a big backer of Brady myself although I don't think he should be fired after a season like last.

    The off court problems of transfers is a liability, I do blame the players for giving up and transfering, especially in the cases of Neltnor and Regis. But I also look at Brady's track record and wonder why he can't seem to keep any of the players that are thinking of leaving. It does make me wonder.

    Wow, now you are coming full circle with the thread where you argue against our talent.

    You could add Lamont Roland, Brian Beshara and Ronald Dupree to that list.....and it still won't come close to the list of players that have left because they apparently have no talent. Man, you are all over the place on this issue. Would you like me to throw a misspelled word in here so you can come back with something?

    Please enlighten me as to where I been inconsistent here. Are you saying there is no distinction between talent and performance? OK Class:

    tal·ent ( P ) Pronunciation Key (tlnt)
    n.
    A marked innate ability
    Natural endowment or ability of a superior quality.


    per·for·mance ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pr-fôrmns)
    n.
    The act of performing or the state of being performed.
    The way in which someone or something functions

    hud, mitch and tack do not have "superior" innate basketball ability relative to other sec starters.

    Tack is the fastest guard in the league. That must count for something.

    Unfortunately they haven't made a ball fast enough to keep up with him. :hihi:

    I saw him at school the other day, by the way. He's taller than it would seem.
