And the fact that he stuck through 4 years of **** coaching, and **** fan support of him.

Reality check needed. Never once took a shot at DG. In fact, I implore you to go back the last four years and read my posts defending DG. I was one of the first ones on here to say his senior leadership will be great.

The Point I am making is the difference between a 2010-2011 with an experienced PG and a 2011-2012 team with highly touted transfers and an inexperienced point guard will be minimal.

But, this is a worst case scenario and I think we all hope that McGee, Allen, or Babb step up and earn the position.

He could be very Jacy Hollowayesque. With the right supporting cast that is not a bad thing at all.

We all agree here that he is not he best PG we have ever seen, right? Sure, he's a nice player, but he isn't a team killing loss.

I wouldn't put too much stock into Booker until we see what he can do! From what I've heard (correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not sure) he didn't play that much at Southern Illinois. Once again correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks! Looks like he played decent minutes (mostly bench minutes). Looks like he might be decent but I'm still not going to put too much stock into him just yet! Although I think he will be a nice addition to the team.
