The time to get in shape is now. The time to prove you are ready to earn time includes the scrimmages. The fact is it was already decided that Prince was ahead of Friday before the trip. Friday did not get a chance to prove a anything. He did not get a chance to earn any mins. He did have a chance to proof himself, by working hard in the off season and getting his body prepared to take the next step. This is what was put out there but it does not make it true. The truth is Prince was brought in to play and that means Friday is expected to sit again. Had he gotten time in the scrimmages and Prince played better or looked to be in better shape than Friday then no one could dispute it. But to not give Friday a chance just shows that the decision was made when Prince signed.

Is that why he did not get any time in Canada? Had he played bad in the scrimmages then you can believe what is being said. Its just bad press now and excuses. Everyone should have played in those scrimmages that was healthy. Its part of the competition for PT or it should have been

Being that I'm a former coach and known college basketball analyst Friday was given the chance in scrimmages.Prince came in somewhat with a advantage being that he played in the games for Canada this summer but like what post said Sammy has been here a year and a half.I think in a previous interview coach mentioned Friday not being able to go for no longer then 4minutes.I understand PPC that you believe everyone should have been able to earn minutes,but apparently the decision was made.I honestly don't believe some of these kids where given anything it wasn't like these freshman where 4or5 star recruits,there where mediocre recruits as one post said.

Umm. Friday has been practicing in front of the coaches for a year and a half. How much time is enough to be defined as a 'chance'? The only guys who can be argued as not getting a chance so far are Camper and Bentley. Everyone else has had their chance. End of story. Stop this nonsense. Richard did not get a chance to compete for time at the position he was recruited to play. That was pointed out before practice started Friday did not get a chance to earn ttime at all. The Scimmages are part of preseason. Friday did not play in any of them. 3 mins is not PT. And Richard only played when Nico was out at the 2. These are facts I was at the games in Canada . Khalid I think played in all three and played really well in one of them. Sammy played in at least one game. In my opinion there was only one unnamed plyer who was a disappointment and it wasn't Sammy.

I expect Jimmy sent a message to Sammy with the lack of playing time in Canada. I am not a Fan of coach's dog houses but I accept that I am not the coach Jimmy is.

KD is 5 fouls in the paint, somewhat like LL was at times. No real coach lets a legitimate talent go to another team in the league. Period. I don't know who else offered him, but you guys who live and die by that may be able to answer that. SF, fat guy, 5 more fouls in the paint right now. If Sammy wants to play, he better get off his fat ass... NOW.

It's unfortunate but every one matures at a different rate. When you have 17, 18 and 19 year old kids many still think of basketball as a game (which it is) and have a difficult time being serious about it. I think Friday has all of the tools to be a very good player with the potential to at least go to Europe to play. The question is...how do you teach maturity.

Having a mature head coach heavily focused on basketball would be an obvious first step.....

My niece and god-daughter is currently a sophomore D-1 lacrosse player. At 5'10" she could also as easily been a D-1 basketball player, and she arguably might have gotten a full ride as a soccer player. No one ever had to "teach" her how to be a top tier athlete. You are either in it, or you ain't.

You are either in it, or you ain't. Besides 'niece-dropping,' I'm not sure what your point is here. Are you saying that athletes are born not made or that if you're good at one sport you're good at all sports? So if you can jump high you must be good at golf.

Many athletes over achieve due to the strength of their inner drive & desire ... can't teach that

Thats your opinion and you are free to express it. I am responding to the same lies over and over again. You chose to attack me because I post the truth over and over again. I pointed out the same facts that some here refuse to admit. Tell them to stop posting the lies and I will stop having to respond to them.
