Wright is really looking good. He is leading the ACC in some sta can't remember? It may be FG%. Looks good.

 

 

Here are Wrights stats from Yahoo:

 

FG%: 63.6

FT% : 56.1

REBS: 6.4

AST:1.1

STL:1

BLK:1.8

PPG: 14.8(14th in ACC)

A family member mailed me a newspaper article on Tyler Smith which was printed in the Waterloo Daily Courier on January 18th. The article was quite complimentary. He is one of only 3 freshmen in the history of U. of Iowa basketball to average more than 15 ppg. Coach Steve Alford had quoted in the article that he gave much more than just points and rebounds. He said he was on pace to rank in the top 5 for all time Hawkeye freshmen in assists, steals and 3 point shooting percentage. Alford also said he had the best basketball IQ of any player on his roster.

The article also said he had a 5 1/2 month old son who remains home in Tennessee.

So, yes it seems like he is doing well.

Tyler Smith is playing very well at Iowa. Majerus was very high on him last Saturday when commentating the Hawkeyes big win over Indiana (who'd beaten Wisconsin earlier in the week).

 

 

Yeah, he was VERY impressed with Tyler Smith. But then again, Majerus was complimenterary of Mike Davis when he was at Indiana...lol. But seriously, Smith is a heck of a player. And about Brandan Wright...wow.

I haven't heard about him since all the Giles Co. people use to talk about him constantly. Wright sure has made a big impact at UNC.

 

 

If not for Greg Oden, Tyler Smith WOULD win NCAA Rookie of the Year, he's averaging about 18 a game with 7 rebounds and he puts on a SHOW. Anyone who saw the Iowa Indiana game knows that Tyler is an entricle part to the Iowa offense and defense. He put up 25 points with 9 rebounds and one major SLAM on the Hoosiers. B-Wright is doing good at UNC as well. I will always treasure the moment when I saw Tyler dunk on almost the entire Brentwood Academy team......................SPECTACULAR

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
