Did Jamar Smith Get Demoted?

Jamar's production has been off and even with an injured Chester Frazxier, it seems the extra playing time is going to Brock and Meacham and not to Jamar.
Some of the Illinois posters are even blaming their poor record on Jamar.
There is actually a lot of discussion about it on the Illinois board.

But you have to remember, they beat Minnesota, and a lot of HS teams might be able to do that, so I wouldn't exactly shuffle the starting lineup based on the game last night.
Here is a quote from about the playing time:
"Frazier, who could not practice this week due to his groin strain, played just eight minutes.
Jamar Smith played just 12 minutes as Weber said he handed out playing time to those who were playing well enough to earn it. Both players were scoreless."

Here's a funny post whining about all the bad guards they DO have and lamenting the fact that they don't have:
"We need an elite PG, Dentmon, Collins, Beverley, Hannah, or Rose"

Could someone please give Jamar a call, and let him know he'd be playing 30 mpg at Bradley!
I'll make the call if you can get me his cel phone #.

Interesting thought. :-o
I think Jamar Smith is still having trouble with those ankles that Bruce Weber sacrificed just to win the Bradley game!
Jamar is playing less over the stretch of the last couple weeks than any time since he arrived in Champbana.
With walkons (Meacham), walking wounded (Frazier), and 30% shooters (Brock, McBride) all playing ahead of Jamar now, and McCamey/Watkins coming in next year and likely to have the skills to play right away,
then maybe it is time for Jamar to look at the grand scheme of things.
I hope Chuck Buescher has a little influence over there at Richwoods.

He seems to be a player that has emotional issues; when things are going well he seems to be way too high and when things are going bad he is way too low.He celebrates out on the court after a made 3 pointer way too much; the way he is playing now he would not be getting more time at Bradley .

In Tuesday's game at AH vs. Indiana, the Orange crush will all be bringing their cel phones to taunt Kelvin Sampson.

A lot of great college shooters have sophomore slumps. Some have attributed it to the weight-lifting having an effect on their shooting, but who knows.
Beside Crouch, Blake Ahearn and Nate Funk, and a number of the best shooters in recent MVC history have had their worst shooting seasons as sophomores.
