Look, Ray could have played Daniels this year and won 6-8 SEC games

No one said that. Vandy also isn't in the midst of a total rebuild with a 2nd year head coach. It's not apples to apples, and I wasn't comparing it as such. Vandy struggled without any depth this year (they also weren't in that position the entire year).

So far your predictions have been a big fail. What have you predicted that has actually proven to be true? Daniel might be better than Borchert but we will have to wait and see.

All reports from practice have Daniels as being much much better than Borchert. I appreciate Borchert coming in and being a part of such a rebuild, but he's really just not very good.

People must not know him, as nobody really approached him to talk. He sat with Coach Williams and talked to him most of the game. Here is what I heard from some good sources (one of them a well-known coach). 1) A State asst coach told one guy that Daniels may be our best player right now. 2) The kid from Montgomery is the real deal - can play SEC ball. 3) Dunlap and Black are not SEC players. Dunlap is too small and cannot play the point, and Black cannot score. Neither had good senior years according to this coach. Jackson State will sign 2 guards that are better than Dunlap. And, when JSU played us this year, they were equal to us at every position.

I'm not big on Dunlap myself and dont look for him to have any impact on next season. And that seems to be the word on Daniels and Houston- both impact players. We need to sign a shooter with this last scholly.

a lot of players could look good practicing against Us. We will see when he actually hits the floor when it counts.--As Allen Iverson said--"It's Practice"--Oh and Borchet says"Thanks for your support"

Why would that matter? Borchert is also practicing against us, and they are pretty easy to compare when they're both in they're practicing against/with each other.

The comparison was Daniels to Borchert, not Daniels to Kevin Garnett.

tcdog makes a good point. It's PRACTICE with the worst Power6 team in the nation. We won't really know about Daniels till he starts playing in real games. Lots of players look great during practice but few look great in front of fans and television. Sometimes that pressure makes players better but lots of players tighten up under it.
