I’m going to provide the Pistols Firing Spicy Take of the Day (brought to you by J.R. Murphy’s)…
I soured on LeBryan Nash really hard his senior year. He averaged 17ish points…but his body language was always so confounding. He never showed real, true passion and emotion. My wife thought he was “disregulated” (her go-to psychology term, she’s a psychologist). I personally think he was just “going through the motions”.
For that, I cannot include him on any all-decade team.
He absolutely was disengaged. But I would put him in the All decade team. When he was engaged, he was a monster. If he had better work ethic he would be in the NBA right now. The dude could ball. He also had a kid that year if I remember right and maybe that preoccupied his mind. his footwork and natural ability were off the charts good. I remember watching him and literally giggling to myself on a few possessions where he just dismantled a defense.
Offense
QB: Weeden
RB: Chuba, Hill
WR: Blackmon, Tylan, Washington
TE: Jarwin (duh)
OL: the guys from 2011
Flex: Josh Cooper
Defense
DL: Ogbah, Castleman, Blatnick, Trace Ford, Brailford
LB: Bundage, Shaun Lewis, Lavey
DB: Markelle Martin, Justin Gilbert (1 int away from being one of my all time favorites ), Broderick Brown, Ramon Richards , Harvell-Peel
Dang I didn’t realize he played this decade, that seems like forever ago. In that case I’ll put Anderson as my starting SF, Lindy on the bench and Crime Dog misses the cut.
I think you’re right, but I didn’t see as much of Page. Page was a better scorer/creator. Forte was a better pure shooter (actually one of the best ever).
Keiton scored forty points against Texas single handedly. They knew he was getting the ball every time down the court and still couldn’t stop him. Forte, respectively, could have never done that.
