Grimm is the third party who should be blamed there.
I don't have any hate for Denmon in the Norfolk State game. The entirety of the blame for that game is on Haith and English. English played 38 minutes and scored two points. Bullshit thigh contusion or not, that mother****er flat choked. He stinks, and I hate him. Denmon put up 20 on 5-12 shooting. Not great, but it's essentially as good as Jabari Brown's best offensive nights.
Trayvon Bryant was a massive waste of talent. I had friends who were at Mizzou at that time who would play pickup games w/ the basketball players and they all said that he was by far the most talented player they'd ever been on the court with, but the guy's style never translated into an organized team game.
I ****ing despised Justin Safford for all the love the guy got for being a hard worker. He got worse his last two years. He ****ing sucked, end of story, and I want to nail him to the ****ing cross.
I'm too young to remember the failure-ridden squads of the late 80s, and the collapse of the 93-4 team I place more upon shitbag Khalid Reeves playing out of his ****ing skull (Stoudamire obviously wasn't a shitbag).

If you watch the replay of the Edney drive you can see Sutherland just absolutely whiffing on making Edney work to get downcourt....that's the guy I truly blame. I can agree that Norm carries just as much the blame...
I can't hate Denmon....the guy is probably one of the best recent in-state players we have had since Peeler.
I had forgotten about Travon Bryant....
Justin Safford was a complete waste of a scholarship.
And I'm not too young to forget the 80's failures, thanks for bringing that back up.
