Rotnei thinks he's Jimmer

[DoggtownHog]

Apparently Rotnei, his dad and his uncle all need to be smacked up side the head. As far as I'm concerned, they've crossed a line this time. They have gone out of their way to try to embarrass our university because they all think Rotnei is Jimmer Fredete(?). RC can shoot with anyone, but he not nowhere near athletic enough to play in the NBA.
Sorry, I'm just po'ed at the situation. I just want them all to go back to Oklahoma and never come back.

[Adam Stokes]

Yeah they definitely said they think he is as good as Jimmer and that he is NBA quality.  What else have they said?

[V B Porkers]

He is no Jimmer

[lilpiggy]

i never saw anything that said they thought he was as good as jimmer. but i do think he is getting bad advice.

[secfan30]

He is not even a Cannon Whitby. At least he had heart and desire.

Cannon was a bench warmer at best.....and by the way, Cannon if you read this you still have my Arkansas / ASU VCR tape. Send it back.

[Tone]

They do play defense about the same....none.

He probably got good advice, too.  Trouble is, he didn't heed it.  JMO

[Breems]

He's a solid player and an excellent shooter.  Just not a Razorback.

[SoonerInSpringdale]

Can we get a link showing where Rotnei or anyone in his camp have said anything like this?

Thanks.

[NWASooner]

Neither is Jimmer.

If the Clarke's really think Rotnei can play in the NBA, they should spend the money and buy a courtside seat at an NBA game.  Watch the size of the players and the speed of the game.  Then have an honest discussion about whether Rotnei could play in the league.

Yet, Jimmer is considered a lottery pick by most, and some have called him the most NBA ready.

I never said that they said it. I would like his "camp" the get the he!! Out of town. Take their BS somewhere else.

[3kgthog]

Two words about Jimmer: Adam Morrison.

[waynespur21]

He is UALR material anyways.

Then you should have titled this thread "DoggtownHog thinks Rotnei thinks he is Jimmer, but I have nothing to back that up besides blind and irrational hatred"

[Kevin]

i said this about two days ago.

he cannot do half the things jimmer can do.

Nothing like a troll from another school....

[SoonerInSpringdale]

Nothing like a troll from another school....

U of A alum, married to U of A alum, Arkansas tax payer...not quite a troll.  Believe it or not, some people don't live in the same place their entire life.

Who's the troll...someone with Sooner in their user name that supports the school, players, and coaches?

Or some loser that gets his self worth from making up garbage and bagging on 18-22 year olds on the Internet...anonymously.

Get over yourself.

[Cresthog]

They actually think he is Davor Rimac.


What a joke.

[heathtits]

They actually think he is Davor Rimac.

What a joke.

Davor has multiple Ships' to his name.

1990(i think) Arkansas High School State tennis champ is one of them. Throw in a few Croatia/Serbia wherever ships too.

[JJHog]

Geez, you guys turn on someone quick. Rotnei is light years better than Cannon Whitby, who warmed the bench. Rotnei had 50 pts in a game for the UA

That should tell you how bad college basketball is.

Seems like on next years team Rotnei would have been a bench warmer. I did not turn on him until he went to the national media to make us look bad. That was over the line so **** Him now.

[idochog]

Rotteni (new sp!) is  not even a poor mans Jimmer

[No1Hog27]

Man.......sorry to hear that.  But may be a mistake leaving.

[Kenny Dowell Loggains]

anyone with any size could shut him down.  he got his shot blocked a couple of times by defender's armpits.  he obviously doesn't want to be here, so i don't want him here.

Not so fast.

Cannon Whitby is a Razorback legend and saved us from losing to the sorry SOB's in Jonesboro.  He also saved Nolan's job and therefore gave him the opportunity to accomplish great things. 

Geeeez...There are some ungrateful folks.

Wiiiiiiiiiitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[blacksuit]

I can see Jimmer as a decent backup PG in the NBA. He can be a bench scorer, or a rotation shooter to space the floor. He could also be a bust, but that goes for a lot of guys.

Clarke is not on the same level, plain and simple. Perhaps he can make some money playing ball overseas. Like many people I just don't see what he has to gain from leaving versus staying one more year.

[heathtits]

Well they both have stupid first names.

[cosmodrum]

Well they both have stupid first names.

Jimmer is way worse than Rotnei.

Jimmer sounds like a kid that needs a helmet.

Debatable.

Both sound like notes from a morning Butt Trumpet symphony to me.

[poloprince]

Also thinks he is an NBA prospect obviously

[Hog Fan...DOH!]

So let me get this straight... Pops and Unk don't want him to play in a wide-open full court system where Rot could score 20+ a game?  I guess the plodding, half-court style where Rot will be covered like glue by athletic, 6'4 guards is better. 

[187 MPH Lazers]

This was handled badly.  He could have left on good terms, this will make a lot of fans turn on him.  Oh well, just be done with it. 

It's time for football anyways.  Mike will have the guys who want to be here ready by game one.

[kingofdequeen]

Arkansas = the home of the uncomfortable break-ups

[187 MPH Lazers]

As good as Rotnei was in some games, he would totally disappear in others with 2 pts etc. in some SEC games.  I've never seen a true star disappear like that on several occasions.

Well, except for LeChoke of course.

[NWASooner]

As good as Rotnei was in some games, he would totally disappear in others with 2 pts etc. in some SEC games.  I've never seen a true star disappear like that on several occasions.

It's because he had good players guarding him.  Clarke is a 5'10" shooting guard who can't beat him man off the dribble or create his own shot.

Has it occurred to anyone that the new players coming in would send Clarke to the bench?  There's a 6'2" point guard and a 6'5" shooting guard and they can both penetrate and create their own shots.  Where does Clarke fit in?

He'd fit 15 minutes a game in.

Hence why he left.

I think that if I spent several years on a team losing games and never making something of it despite all the hard work, and then a bunch of studs came in so that I could lose my spot to them, I would probably leave too.

when that time comes, i'll personally nominate you for the Sandy Vag award.

as of today, Rodney is the leader in the clubhouse.

So you and Rotnei can emphasize together about having nothing between your legs sans maybe a moose knuckle?
