Obviously reading is not your strong suit.
More absurdity. If Jon Diebler starts bringing down a lot of boards, does it prove his effort on the defensive end too... as is your bizarre attempt at translation with cook?Sorry, when you rip on a player's dad and rip on numerous details from his HS season, you obviously have a pretty strong view on the Diebler family and are not unbiased (or 'dog'-less as you suggest).
Ridiculous comparison. One, Jared is already a superstar recruit. Two, OSU is not a tiny bball school. Let's try a useful comparison: Diebler's committed to Obie in the early 00's, but as he matures he develops into an elite prospect. With more options coming his way, he decides to step away from his very early decision (to follow his bro) and go to a better school. We'd all be sad, but the logic of such a decision is obvious.
Completely false. Any human is going to enjoy gain over loss, but that gain is not why he thought diebler had a good attitude so far. Pretending that it was is disengenious and intentionally deceptive.
It's obvious he thinks he's had a good attitude on the court thus far, from what little he's seen.
And once again you are flat out wrong. His source is well established here.
Huh? What here deserves a response. The question I asked is what makes people think Diebler has a good attitude and Cook has a bad attitude. No one has answered that. So what are you talking about. I do know that Diebler ran up scores on bad teams, backed out of a commitment and took a ridiculous amount of shots while being double teamed. So I am asking where the good attitude comment comes from.
Cook's effort was question. His total effort. I was saying if a player is 6'4 and is coming off the bench and is outrebounding everyone but Greg Oden and Othello Hunter, he is obviously putting forth effort. But misquote me all you want.
Its nice you look so poorly on Valparaiso's program and think that fans are so understanding of players who decommit. I have seen and heard things much differently, but if you really think OSU fans are understanding of decommitments so be it. However, fans of other schools definitely are not understanding and I dont see decommitment as a virtue.
You make it sound like I came on here and no one was talking about Diebler and I just started ragging on the kid. No, people were talking him up and saying he was playing great and impressively. My question is how has he been impressive. That is the topic. Where is this wonderful character and attitude and what has he done that makes him the "most impressive." That is the question. You are trying to twist it to, "how is he bad." That was never the point. Jimotis and others were saying he was playing great, has a great attitude (and in the same breath criticizes Cook's attitude), and has been very impressive. That is the topic. You can twist it however you want, but this isnt a topic of how is Jon Diebler bad, but what has he done so far at OSU that makes him the most impressive.
Also, if someone has a source in the Cook family they wouldnt be quoting his mom...anyone who thinks that means anything just shows they know nothing. If you knew someone from the Dayton area they would probably be able to tell you about his relationship with his mom. The guy doesnt have a source, its a joke. Believe what you want, but the guy doesnt even know if Cook has kids, let alone his innermost motivations.
And I didnt duck responding to this, I just figured it was worthless, which it proved to be. You cant even argue the initial statement of Diebler playing great, so you try to switch it to arguing against the notion that Diebler will never be good...which of course is something I never said.
46 minutes of play, 1 for 10 shooting, 1 for 9 from 3, 6 points, 4 rebounds, 1 for 1 turnovers to assist ratio, 1 steal, 4 rebounds. Im sorry, those numbers arent impressive to me.
