This is not even close. <BR/><BR/>It may seem like a similar situation, and maybe Macklin will turn out to be better than I give him credit for, but he was a liability. I almost feel the only reason JT3 gave V-Mack playing time was so that he wouldn't transfer. <BR/><BR/>That being said, I saw Mack in a campus restaurant recently and he is a nice guy and hard worker. I wish him all the best, and hope he can improve that FT%, so the "Hack-A-Mack" strategy does not become viable.<BR/><BR/>- James K.Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277228875185339113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-17048999361359409202008-05-05T11:32:00.000-04:002008-05-05T11:32:00.000-04:00I know nothing about Macklin, but these comments are reminding me of how I felt about the departure of Julian Wright from KU. People (ESPN) were talking about how it was a big loss, but all I saw was a kid who tried to do too much and often ended up not being on the same page as his teammates, which caused turnovers or off balance shots from players who had the ball when they hadn't expected it. Nothing against Julian Wright, who is a fun player to watch, but I thought it was addition by subtraction. I'm sure GTown fans are hoping this turns out the same way.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13265280700529267139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-26774021073464142392008-05-05T10:34:00.000-04:002008-05-05T10:34:00.000-04:00Completely agree with James.DCThrowbackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02595347138052680931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-69920524730816872982008-05-05T10:15:00.000-04:002008-05-05T10:15:00.000-04:00Wow. I've been so wrapped in Furcal's greatness this year that I completely ignored his BABIP. Good call.<BR/><BR/>And I blame Ned Yost for Sheets being on the field longer.
