Tubby Smith Era : All Overrated Team

A week ago I presented a question to the posters on SportsRazz.com, I asked who they thought was the most overrated player in the Tubby Smith era. It took flight, and therefore, I present to you the Tubby Smith Era : All Overrated Team.

Head Coach: Who else... Orlando Tubby Smith. I think this speaks for itself. Tubby seemed to do just enough not to get fired during his tenure, and in doing so, about took the greatest program in the world down with him.

Point Guard: a 6'1" guard from Louisville, Ky #00 Adam Chiles. After much debate with myself I chose Chiles because, if I remember correctly, he was hyped by none other than Tubby himself. As we all know things didn't quite pan out with this kid and he ended up at Murray State and was arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Shooting Guard: a 6'4" guard from Macon, Ga #4 Gerald Fitch. Most of you know that this one is personal. Gerald was a good player who tried to hard to be a superstar. Does anyone remember the UAB game? I still to this day say he could have pump faked and taken the layup, but instead he shot a fade away three and we all know what happened. He was also a key member of Team Turmoil. He and fellow Cat Erik Daniels were busted for entering a Lexington bar with fake ideas. Suggestion to all Wildcats under 21... do not try to use a fake to get in a bar. We all know who you are.

Small Forward: a 6'8" forward from Montreal, Quebec #23 Sherry... oops Sheray Thomas. All that we heard about this kid was that he was playing from team Canada and was going to be a dominate force. Well if this was hockey, playing for team Canada would mean something and if by dominate force you mean getting pushed around by everyone he played against, then you would be correct. Now back to reality. Sheray sucked.

Power Forward: a 6'10" forward from Huntsville, Alabama #24 Marvin Stone. Marvin may have been the most hyped on the list. He came in and never got it going for us. He ended up pulling a "Pitino" and going to Louisville and all of the Cat fans cheered. The only thing he had that resembled a basketball player was a Rasheed Wallace birthmark on his head. Good bye Marvin, no one has missed you.

Center: a 7'3" center from the Bronx, New York #21 Shagari Alleyne. Scout.com had him as a can't miss 4 star center. Don't believe me? Here's the link http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=48&p=8&c=1&nid=220251. Wow, can we get our money back for that subscription? Shagari became a side show every time he stepped on the court, which wasn't very often. Sorry for him, he went to class even less. Shagari transferred to Manhattan and then declared for the NBA draft this year. Crazy thing is that he actually signed with an agent. Good luck on draft day Shagari. You'll need it.

Well there you go. I'm sure that this will cause a stir among posters at SportsRazz.com. I would also like to point out that Joe "Black-hole" Crawford is on the watch list to pass Fitch. Ask me about the black-hole thing. Hopefully, Billy Clyde will get us moving in the right direction again and maybe we can get Shagari to raise one of those banner things up with those long arms.

Leave me some feedback and suggestions on my next blog topic.

I'm out.
