    We suck. I agree with Ari. The game has changed a lot and I don't believe Howland has adjusted. I also think we've got a bunch of selfish 17'rs on this team and our best PG is a head case.

    I think we are seeing what it looks like when no one steps up and leads. Q and Holman are too laid back to be leaders. We have kids that could be leaders but unfortunately Nick W is a freshman. This has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with player leadership. Stapleton should be a leader on this team but instead he gets arrested for disturbing the peace and gets suspended for the game last night. Until someone steps up to lead this team, we are going to struggle on the road.

    Nick Weatherspoon, defense has improved. His leadership skills are too.
    Lamar Peters, nope. Head case. He tries to do things that MJ couldn't do.
    Eli Wright, slightly..mostly defense/passing
    Xavian Stapleton, defense and passing. He is nursing another injury which nobody talks about. His high/flying days seems to be done.
    Quinndary Weatherspoon, ball handling but scoring has dropped. Defense sometimes, not last night though.
    KeyShawn Feazell, where in the hell has he been? Saw him for the 1st time last night.
    Tyson Carter, plays more aggressively. Shooting slump, trying to hard now.
    Abdul Ado, can see his constant improvement, especially scoring now. Double double again.
    Aric Holman, scoring but still too passive/lazy. Never hustles down the floor. Jogging is for old ladies, Aric. He could be an All-SEC player, but doesn't seem to have the desire.
    E.J. Datcher, probably our most improved player.

    Not saying the team has improved to the level I expected, but there have been areas of improvement for most of the players.
