Bust is living a revisionist history. Figured I would remind him and others of previous comments. These are all comments made by Bust. It shows how he has truly went from one extreme to the other.
Sept 2019 in this thread he said:
https://www.herdfans.com/12thman/index.php?topic=105695.0 Goran will be a stud before he leaves here and play a lot this year. But he will not start over Bennett.
Yes it is obvious about Bennett. I dont know what 24 is looking at. I agree Goran has all the tools to be tremendous. You cant coach 7’ and athletic. The one area Goran has to improve is strengthening his hands. He fumbles the ball around sometimes when he isnt ready for the pass. But he will play a lot behind Bennett and get great minutes. It is exciting to have those 2 for the next 3 and 4 years.
Another thread from 2019 praising Marko
https://www.herdfans.com/12thman/index.php?topic=105537.0 Taylor is looking very good. But another guy that can do it is Marko. He may be the most all around player on the team. He just has a knack for the ball and seems like he is in on every play either scoring, passing or rebounding. I still can’t believe he is a freshman. Also west is looking much better and had a couple mean crossovers today and finished well at the rim. Most improved player has got to be Bennett. He is so much faster and more mobile this year. He is going to be huge for us this year. He told me today he weighed and he was exactly 300. But his body is totally different. He said he was shooting for 285. I told him he has improved so much already just his cardio and speed along with being able to get off the floor so much better. I said if you get to 285 you are going to take another huge step. He said that is where he wanted to be and said he was dedicated. He is a different player already the way he runs and gets off the floor. I thought we may be a year away from being really good but we may be there by middle of the season.
In response to myself and others saying Bennett wasn?t very good
Fair enough. But don’t come around praising him and acting like you are his biggest fan and knew it all along. You are good at bashing but not much good at evaluating “future” talent.
I’ll stick to what I see and trust myself. The biggest question is getting a PG to smoothly run the show and getting them to mesh. Once that comes around, this team has more talent, depth and size than any of Danny’s teams. And all we lose is Sustic. Going to be a fun ride. Danny said it took him awhile to get this much talent, depth and especially size and he wants to keep it going. He knows what this young group is capable of.
My favorite in terms of his praise for Bennett
But yes he is going to be good and still has 3 years left. He is going to be maybe the best true big man Marshall has ever had here. I will go that far and you can copy and paste that.
Marko is going to be a fan favorite imo. It just seems like he is always at the right place. He still doesn’t really know the system but is on of the most impressive guys.
A March 2019 thread saying Dillon will be a top producer for us:
https://www.herdfans.com/12thman/index.php?topic=104074.0He is as quick as virtual any 6’5” guy. And he is savy smart. He will be one of the top producers we have in a couple years and I?ll stand by that.
A thread from Oct 2018. Did Sustic ever see the floor for us? This entire 7 page thread is very enlightening. I think it shows goherd24 as much more objective and reasonable poster compared to bust. I also think it was this kind of false pumping of expectations that lead many to start calling out the basketball practice reporters. This in turn lead to hurt feelings and some people quitting to post because of it.
https://www.herdfans.com/12thman/index.php?topic=102402.0 Also Sustic is still getting better every practice. I thought at first he would be a role player just to give a breather and not much else. But he is turning into a really nice player and just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait for this season to get started. The way Sustic and Bennett are coming on, I have upped my expectations.
Nov 2018 thread on signing of Marko
https://www.herdfans.com/12thman/index.php?topic=102737.0 I really like him. He can put it on the floor and take it to the hole. And can also play the PG spot at 6’7”. Reminds me of a 2” smaller Peneva.
He is who i wanted them ti sign more than anyone. St johns and boston college was interested also. He is going to be very good. Just wait and see.
Marko has a ton of skill and danny loves him. Danny told me when peneva was a freshman how good he was going to be. And he was dead on.
A basketball report thread from June 2019
https://www.herdfans.com/12thman/index.php?topic=104720.0Possibly saved the best for last- Same Collins who left to a lower division lol
This is a much bigger team. Collins reminds me of a young John Brannen.
