But I thought Les was 'far and away' a better recruiter? :-o

Milos is only a sophomore who's not even old enough to drink. Cut him some slack bu fan 9. He still has time.
You must be joking, one is a massive inside player while the other is a 6-8 player that wants to stay outside and launch 3 pointers, he did not play last night against one of the lower level teams so his future is not looking good unless he likes to watch from the bench.
I wasn't trying to compare the players' abilities; only giving an example.
Odiakosa had such a poor freshman year that PM decided to RS him in his sophomore season.
That extra year turned him in to an All-Valley performer, and he is now doing well overseas playing in Spain.
My point was sometimes the player you least expect blossoms into the player you hoped they would become.
Milos is a good friend of mine, and I know how hard he works and how badly he wants to be a major contributor to your team. He just might surprise you someday.
Without knowing how hard some of these guys try we have a bunch of guys who just want to slam people. If you know they are coasting then that is a complete different matter. I doubt if to many posters here are really informed on what these guys do day to day. These are young men and sometimes it takes a few more years to get close to their potential then others.
Criticize the staff all you want but calling out the players for not playing is completely a whole different issue.

I hope so I like Milos to but I don't think he'll turn into a player that we get the benefits you got out of Odiakosa. Hope so but doubt it.

And for every 1 case where a guy "blossoms" into a quality player in his Jr. and Sr. year, there are 100 cases where the guy just never pans out at all.
As it stands now, we're gonna have 4 scholarships tied up in guys next year that are failed projects thus far (Milos, AT) or projects that haven't even gotten underway (Davis, Wells). That's not a good way to start...

Fact is, good programs do not sit around and wait 2 or 3 years for a player to blossom. So Odiakosa turned out to be ok, but he was not good enough to take ISU any where at all, even with Osiris. Fact is that Milos is never going to turn into a player that is going to take Bradley anywhere. Players like Lemon, DSE, Eastman, players that show a little bit of light their first year or so, those are the players that can take us somewhere.
And honestly it is no excuse to say hes only 20 and unable to drink blah blah blah. Tell that to NBA'ers that are 19 or 20 years old. Cannot make an excuse for someone when others have proven that age is not an issue....It also does not take much to see that milos has no work ethic at all.... we have all seen him play, it is a scary sight... when he does score he celebrates like he just caught a pass in the endzone in an NFL game. Its ridiculous. If he wants to develop he needs to go somewhere he can play- since he will develop faster actually playing at a lower level than riding the bench at a higher level.
Milos may be a great kid, or whatever you want to say, but he has shown that he is clearly not a division one basketball player. Im 21, I am a good kid, college student, the whole package. I love basketball, but I dont play, I know I am no division 1 Basketball player. I do not expect people to feel sorry for me, nor do I feel bad for others that simply arent cutting it.
Long story short, it is hard to say, but his scholarship is taking up space, and is preventing us from potentially finding a future stud for our team. All this, is just MHO
