One thing I can say about Tony Snell is he is one hard worker in the classroom. I recently had a class with him and the dude is FOCUSED.

Meh. Gottlieb's a tool.

If Tony overcomes Tony, then there is no limit to what he can accomplish.

As a junior -- perhaps!

Gottlieb's a pretty good analyst when it comes to the college game. Put his personal life aside, and focus on the matter at hand. Happy to see Snell get some positive publicity. Everybody will focus on KW, I really believe that the team will only go as far as Tony can carry them.

Can someone post what he said about Tony? That's not copying the whole article so it should be alright.

"While UNLV has rightfully taken the college basketball world by storm with last season's success and big recruiting pickups, New Mexico quietly has a stable of elite talent that, in some positions, rivals that of San Diego State and UNLV. Snell is one of those guys. He is a 6-7 guard/small forward with length, athleticism and skill, but he lacks huge numbers to quantify his talent.In my opinion, the loss of Drew Gordon to graduation should help with Snell's numbers, as he now must be more assertive on offense. But he is the opposite of many young prospects, as scouts like Snell the more they see him."

Perhaps but KW is the heart and soul of this team and he took that reign last season. Tony is a lil too quite and shy. You can just tell in his interviews he isnt yet comfortable in his own skin. Dont get me wrong I am a big fan of his and have been since he was at Westwind Prep here in AZ. I think he has the most potential of anyone on this team and I want him to erupt. But I haven't seen that he has developed the mentality to carry a team yet and since Kendall already has that mindset I dont believe Tony will feel the need to do so. I hope he does and would love to see him with the same leadership mindset as KW, if that happens then we will go DEEP into the Tourney... I do expect big strides in his game though....lets see what happens. Im definitely rooting for him.
