-- 3:41

Bosh practically by himself brought Tech back and then gave them the lead like this:

DUNK!
3 Pointer
DUNK!
STEAL!
ASSIST!

He will be very good for you guys. He's gonna suffer big time, though, when Jack gets shut down by better PGs in the ACC (Duhon, Blake, Felton, Dockery, Hodge, Todd Billet)

Jack, Elder, and Lewis just PUNKED some quality point guards in Ezra Williams and Wilkins

BE VERY AFRAID ACC.

Damien Wilkins is a PG?

Ezra Williams is a PG?

BTW, Ezra Williams, PG or not, outplayed Jarrett Jack, IMO.

<a href='http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/gameUpdate?gameId=223310059' target='_blank'>http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/gameUpdate?g...ameId=223310059</a>

Yes - he plays Guard and Forward.

Yes Ezra is a guard ... duhhhh.

The box score is deceiving... Jack is a team player, not a shot maker. Regardless, BJ Elder outplayed Ezra Williams.

GTS, they aren't point guards.

You're right... Ezra plays BOTH guard positions.

However you slice it, Rashad Wright is UGA's PG.

Jack is a mediocre PG right now, and that will probably be your downfall this season.

That "mediocre" PG is #19 in the freshmen class on the draft.

<a href='http://www.nbadraft.net' target='_blank'>http://www.nbadraft.net</a>

The professional scouts beg to differ Dookie, and I do too.

Julius Hodge is a combo guard, much like Ezra Williams.
Billet? Please. I will take Jarrett Jack's left ankle over him.
Felton?? Uhhhh
As for the veterans you named, we will see. There are no players like Steve Francis or Jason Williams who will just blow Jack away. Everyone is on Jack's level and he will hold his own vs. the Duhon's and Blake's and outplay the Dockery's and Felton's. Anyone who thinks Dockery and Felton are better PG's deserves to be fed rotten eggs for a month.

You Techies are incredible!!!!!!

GTS, where is Jarrett Jack on that list????

<a href='http://www.nbadraft.net/2002consensus.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.nbadraft.net/2002consensus.htm</a>

So... I guess Dave Telep (widely regarded as the best recruiting guru on the net), Brick Oettinger, Bob Gibbons and Clark Francis should all be fed eggs for a month? :rolleyes:

And... may I bust out the good ole RSCI rankings for you?

<a href='http://rscihoops.com/' target='_blank'>http://rscihoops.com/</a>

desigundah, you are an idiot.

Jarrett Jack is mediocre, AT BEST.

Will he still be "mediocre" when he helps the Jackets punk Duke?

themz fightin words, boy

Jarret Jack "mediocre"? Puh-leez!! And even if he is mediocre, so what? He's got quite a team backing him up, as was proved tonight against U(sic)GA. But for a freshman, playing only his second college game, I think he did hella good, along with Chris Bosh, BJ Elder and the rest of the boys. The rest of the NCAA better watch out: the developments of this evening have proven that the ACC is gonna be a tough conference.

I really tried to contain myself and not reply to this nonsense...but I had to. Jarrett Jack is awesome. He is a PASSING point guard, for the most part, unlike a lot of PG's out there today. Tonight we saw the "I can shoot when I'm needed" side of Jarrett Jack. He stepped it up and took the ball inside when he couldn't find an open man. He did what he had to do to get things done. Let us all remember HE IS A FRESHMAN! You can have a "mediocre" freshman PG when you have 9 other AWESOME and CAPABLE guys on the team. Jarrett is just part of an awesome team, and when he has had more experience in college hoops, he will be much more than what you so ignorantly call "mediocre". Frankly, I don't think you're ready for that day, because if we are what we are now with a "mediocre" PG then words can't describe what we will be with the awesome PG Jack will turn into!

Exactly. He's a true frosh in his 2nd career game against the "best team in the SEC" according to Dickie V. And, he's not a 2-guard - it's not his job to go out and score 25 a night. It's his job to help run the overall show and keep things running smoothly. I don't think he could have done better at that than he did tonight.

I could care less whether or not he's NBA material or what the Dookies think of him...when we start picking up steam during the ACC season, we'll see just how "mediocre" you guys think Jack is.

Lets see how some other opposing guards who are "way better" than Jack have done today.
-Todd Billet had 6 pts and 4 fouls
-Raymond Felton had 10 pts on 3-9 shooting
-Steve Blake had 13 pts 5 as. and 5 to
Impressive.
Actually I dont think you should be forced to eat rotten eggs. I think you should be TOLD you are about to eat rotten eggs then you should be taken to a dark corner and you should be shot.

:rolleyes: :bang:

All that matters is the fact that Jack lead Tech to a vicktory over a top 15 team

Not to mention 2 great performances in his FIRST 2 GAMES!

You'll recognize your wrong when Tech beats Dook

I love how you neglect to respond to my post... :rolleyes:

Felton, like Jack is a PASS FIRST PG for UNC. Like all you other Techies are saying, it's not his job to score, he just lead UNC to a blowout win over the #2 team in the country. I can't wait to see Billet take on Jack, it will be mighty fun to watch Billet raining threes in Jack's eyes.

GTS, still waiting for where Jarrett Jack is on that list...

All the "proffessionals" agree that Jack is a freshman, who is barely top 50. In the talent rich ACC, that is mediocre, AT BEST.

Right here: <a href='http://www.nbadraft.net/Classof2006.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.nbadraft.net/Classof2006.htm</a>

Chris Bosh: #1
Jarret Jack: now up to #16

I don't know if you intended to bust your Techie friend desigundah, but you certainly did.

Felton and Dock BOTH higher than Jack, and I don't even like that site at all.

Now, allow me to objectively rank the ACC starting PGs.

Blake
Duhon
Scott (Clemson)
Hodge
Felton
Billet
Jack
Wake PG
FSU PG

If I was you, I would be satisfied with mediocre.

Oh, and GTS, that site blows.

McCants at 21???

No Redick??? :eek:

No Michael Thompson???

Andre Iguodala top ten???

Who the hell is Christian Drejer?

Who is Denham Brown?

Keith Butler at 11???

That site is almost as bad as ESPN recruiting

:eek: :eek: :eek:

and that is saying a lot.

I didn't bust him. Jack has been rising on that list for some time, and at his current rate he will pass Felton and Dock in a few games.

He has far better vision, ball handling skills, and conditioning than those two.

Also funny how you ranked the ACC PG's without even knowing who some of the people were.

Real bang-up job there Dookie.

LMFAO!

Jack has better handles than Dockery and Felton???? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: If anything, Jack is a better scorer than Dock (which he probably is).

I don't know who starts PG for Wake and FSU, so I didn't rank them higher than Jack. duh, I wouldn't be complaining, because I'm sure LK and BPD could explain to you how Trent Strickland or Justin Gray are better than Jack.

Oh, and another thing, if Jack is so good, then why didn't Coach K recruit him, even though Jack wanted Duke to recruit him?

Wait, I have an answer, because Dockery is better! :laugh:

1st off - Coach K recruiting somebody is a piss poor definition of being good. You can't recruit every. Wonder how many first rounders in last year's draft weren't recruited by Coach K. Betcha it was in excess of 75%. Not to mention the fact that Coach K is not god, and rat face is wrong quite a few times himself.

2nd - the "Jack wanted Duke to recruit him" has fairy tale rumor written all over it. Bet that only comes from the fact that his hometown is Durham, and he is a cousin of Duhon. Dookies and their crazy rumors these days. Show some proof.

"Jarrett Jack
Birthdate: 10/28/83
NBA Position: Point Guard
College: Georgia Tech
Class: Freshman
Ht: 6-3
Wt: 198
Hometown: Durham, NC
High School: Worcester Academy

Strengths: Jack is one of the most underrated players in his class. He has unmatched court vision. He loves to run and gun. At 6-3, Jack stands above most of the point guards. [b]And his body is already mature. Don

You'd think Duke would shut up about how even their second team is so great after Davidson handled everybody on the Dook sideline for a good 18 minutes.

Once again, using who Coach K did or didn't recruit as a talent standard is absurd.

After watching hooks and layups Davidson executed fairly easily on the inside all day, I will enjoy watching Bosh and Schenscher go to town.

haha, was that supposed to be a joke? I can't wait to watch Shav use Schensheir like Duke has used GT over the past 5 years.

I'm still waiting to find out who Jack is better than. :blush:

This reminds me of how guys like Tony Akins and Drew Barry got dissed because they weren't "big time ACC material" or recruited by the big boys. Seems to me that they ended up just fine.

As long as Jack doesn't get caught up in his numbers (he shouldn't have spectacular numbers - that's not his job right now), he'll be just fine.

Hmmm, how did Tony Akins do his freshman year?

If you think Todd Billet and Ed Scott are better PGs, you're out of your tree...

He was a wild shooter. He averaged 11.3 ppg and 4.8 apg. He tried to run the whole show it took him a couple years to mature. Jack seems to already have that mentality. Like Dan Bonner said during the game last night, "this kid plays and is built like a junior."

Redickand Dockery are just other Dukies....

I'll admit you have pretty good depth, but none of them are just shiny bright stars like Battier and JayWilly

When ACC time comes, you won't see very much of either Redick or Dockery...

You'll see this:

Duhon
Ewing
Jones
Williams
Randolph

Redick might get somewhere around 15 minutes a game

When your guys get enough PT to compare to Jack you can come back to compare stats

From now on Dukie, im gonna let the scoreboard do the talking...can't wait to see your posts on 1/25


:rolleyes:

Jonesy........I am convinced you have never seen Jarrett Jack play, EVER. In fact, I am CONVINCED that you probably even havent seen what he looks like. You have no clue who he is or how good he is. Your simply a fool who likes to run his mouth and you like to get pissed upon in conversation. To be honest, I havent seen Jack much outside of the game vs. UGA but watching him proved a lot. Freshman dont come out and have games like that against veteran,defensive minded PG's like Rashad Wright. Jack carried the team in this first half and was crutial to the victory. I think you should just shutup and save your face because you are looking foolish and you are losing your credibility for the future. Why dont you just admit Jack is better than you want him to be?

I saw Jack play against UGA, and I thought he was a bit better than I thought he was, but he still didn't show me much. The only people on GT who I was wowed by were BJ Elder (WHAT A STROKE!) and Bosh, who will make ALL ACC Rookie Team.

JJ, I really hope you are kidding about Ed Scott. Last season, he was 3rd in the NCAA in assists (most of the season), with little talent around him.

Dude, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Redick will get plenty of time during ACC season. Look up the stats, Redick practically SPLITS time with Ewing.

BTW, nice 2/4 Assist/Turnover ratio Jarrett Jack had. :cry: :cry:

Like you said about JayWilly, you can't really argue with stats in the first month of the season. Obviously, he won't keep up that pace for the season.

I stand corrected about Scott. About the only guy I followed on Clemson last year was Tony Stockman. But still, you can't rank Jack 7th. I'm not saying he's the best in the league, but he's at least in the upper half. This is how my list would look...

1. Blake
2. Duhon (although I'd consider him more of a 2-guard this year)
3. Hodge
4. Felton
5-tie. Jack and Scott

[EDIT: Updated a mistake in the ranking]



<!--EDIT|JoltinJacket|Nov 28 2002, 07:15 PM-->

There is NO WAY Jack is as good as Felton. I repeat, NO WAY.

Since when was Hodge a point guard?

Until Felton proves to me he can score, I think Jack is better

Felton
------------
9 points
5 points
6 points
10 points

30 points in 4 games

I'll give him credit and say 8 PPG, 9 assists per game in 33 minutes, 1.5 steals per game

Jack
------------
10 points
16 points

26 points in 2 games

13 PPG, 7 assists per game and 2.5 steaks per game in 31 minutes per game


Please explain why Felton is better

Jonesy: Uhhh Felton is better cuz uhhh...Felton is better because ummm Tech sucks and UNC has a better tradition ummmmmmm. Yeah ummm.

:laugh:

But wait, I thought that points didn't matter, and it wasn't Jack's job to score? :rolleyes:

BTW, Felton is averaging 7 points, 5 rebs, and 8 assists.

Desigundah, remember saying this?

Julius Hodge is a combo guard, much like Ezra Williams.
Billet? Please. I will take Jarrett Jack's left ankle over him.
Felton?? Uhhhh

typical... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

read up nate...

whoa whoa whoa...ed scott in nasty, he is just stuck on a bad team...the verdict is still out on billet...

this thread is hysterical...

jack will one day prove to be a very talented ACC point guard...who knows how this year will turn out for him, but if he does indeed prove to be capable of the job that Hewitt wants him to do, the Yellow Jackets will be very scary this year...
