"I think Trent struggled a little bit today physically in conditioning. I think he may have been a little sick. He needs to work on his total game. He needs to work on stepping out and hitting some jump shots, continue to work on his post-up game and moving his feet defensively." Asked about the importance of having a jump shot as a big man, Perrin said the perimeter game is important. "You have to learn how to step out and knock down a 12 or 15 jump shot because in our league, at our level, it would be hard for him to be on the post all the time."

He essentialy told Trent to work on everything, then he went on to say:

Said Perrin Tuesday, "I don't know where he goes right now, if he's a solid second round pick, at No. 44, and I think he'll be available, I don't know if we take him."

He also said on Sportsbeat Sunday that Trent should have stayed in school another year. So essentially Trent you are not NBA ready, you play awful defense, what you think is your strength in the post actually needs a lot of work, your conditioning was suspect, you have no jump shot and if you were available at #44 (which you will be) we wont take you.

He actually said a first round pick in this year draft is going to have a hell of a time making the team, let alone a 2nd round guy.

Certainly a ringing endorsement of Peanut Brain. When it all comes down to it, Majerus was right about Plaisted.

How do you define making the team? Sitting on the bench as the 12th guy, seeing rotation minutes, or playing in Orem with the Flash?

Yeah, the Utes couldn't have use him the last three years.

Next thing, someone will do an analysis of Trents purchase of an automobile, noting all the mistakes, and MP will chime in:

"Majerus was right about Plaisted."

Plaisted trips.

"Majerus was right about Plaisted."

Plaisted farts.

"Majerus was right about Plaisted."

I certainly question his readiness for the NBA, but maybe it will work out in the end. That said, Majerus was plenty wrong about plenty of other players, so I fail to see the relevance of your obsession.

Man, I am cranky today.

Maybe he can get St. Louis to average than 29 points in two games against George Washington next year.

Majerus will win more tournament games at St Louis than Rose will win at BYU. Of course that isn't that impressive as it will only take one victory.

Majerus didn't say he would be a bad college player he said he had a peanut brain. I think Plaisted recent history shows that he is, in fact, a peanut brain.

Poor Indy. It must really suck to not get over the fact that BYU was Majerus' bitch.
