My exact point!  LU could not compete in the WEAKER SLC. Basketball - First six years of the supposedly weaker SLC 1998-1999  17-11 [color=red](11-7)[/color]  Last year for Grey Giovanine 1999-2000  15-16 [color=red](8-10[/color])  Mike Deane's first year  (Made it to the NCAA Tournament as auto-bid with a losing record) 2000-2001  9-18 (7-13) 2001-2002  15-14 (11-9) 2002-2003  13-14 (10-10) 2003-2004  11-18 (5-11)  (Start of Coach Tubbs second run)

[quote name="AthleticSupporter - Jock" post="1404937" timestamp="1368656014"] Look at it this way, his chances of succeeding in rap are about the same as making it in the nfl, cause either way I don't think he was going to stay eligible by going to class.  Making rap videos, smoking weed and chasing girls all night can be a heavy load to carry along with 15 hours of college, or so I've heard. At least this way, he is freeing up that spot on the team for someone who really wants it and hopefully will take advantage of it.  But good luck to Da Bull and the rest of his posse.

[/quote]First of all the parent has to be honest with themselves which is the majority of the problem with these issues. I have my three sons and two nephews I'm involved with. The oldest is 12 and will be entering middle school and only plays football and basketball. I'll tell you right now he's not a basketball player even though he's going to end up well over 6'. I make sure I clarify that to him also, not in a demeaning way but one in which he comprehends where he stands among other kids his age. My son will tell anybody who asks he's going to play football for LSU or UT and as he's gotten older he's just started to do things to show that. I constantly have to reprimand him for messing with the weights in the garage without  my supervision among other things. All that to say he knows football is his best opportunity to play sports beyond high school. My middle son and oldest nephew on the other hand are the kids that everything they touch they seem to be the best or very near the top at. My nephew's dad was once in the Jamaica national youth soccer program and my sister is 5'11" so to limit or "specialize" him in a certain sport before seeing which one he naturally gravitates to and will voluntarily work harder at is "pushing it" from a parenting perspective IMO. My issue is some parents can't see when their kid "may not have it" yet tell their kids if you work harder than the others "you'll be better and should play" thus creating a disgruntled teammate in the locker room. Good motivation but it really only goes so far. 10-12 is the evaluation period to see what kids are more natural or should "specialize" in IMO. [/quote] Sorry, 10-12 [color=red]IS NOT[/color] a good age for evaluation. You will see many kids excel in middle school based on one major factor; grade exceptions are rampant!!!

You guys are truly die-hard LU fans with short (selective?) memories when LU was in Sun Belt? (1) LU got their butts kicked (2) Read #1 ,plus the expense factor (3) LU can't win in the Lone Star Conference :-\ Southland :-\  ;D

[quote name="basketball2012" post="1404324" timestamp="1368491350"] He will end up at fsu, his parents both went to fsu and warchant.com is reporting that they are hearing he will go to fsu so we shall see [/quote] I would definitely work on your predicting skills.

Well, at least he will never regret not pursuing his rap career 40 years from now ;)

I am referring to Silsbee's basketball future. Maybe they will have a chance when (if) Yates goes back to 4-A

Look at HJ, they win with the kids they have every year. Ya gotta give credit to the coaching staff [size=8pt][s]and the weak district[/s][/size]  ;D

Yates does not have a Little Dribblers team. Seems somewhat of an advantage for Silsbee.
