Uceda is going to be contributing by the end of the season. He got thrown right into the meat grinder with 3 strong ACC opponents, 2 in very hostile road environments. You already can see glimpses of his skillset. He's gone from a step slow to half a step slow.

What exactly does that mean? Explain to a white guy? You constantly post the same thing.

Between black people, or a black person describing another person , saying "You my *****" or "that's that *****" is frequently used as an honorarium. It means you're real, or you got my back and I got yours, stuff like that. In this instance, BigPoppa is using it to praise Coach L for his job performance.


This porst has been brought to you by Rosetta Stone's new book series, "Black Speak for White Geeks." In stores now.

We need Uceda come ACC and NCAA tourney time. Games become much tougher to win and an inside presence becomes much more important. It will take atleast another 10 games to get this guy where he needs to be. It will hurt us in spurts but it is the best thing for this team moving forward.

Agreed. I think if we can get 12-15 effective minutes from Uceda, we'll be a much better team. While he clearly has a ways to go, his offensive skillset is far, far superior to Joe Thomas. With how well Jekiri is playing this season, and with the skills that Sherman has, with Uceda, we can play 3 legit bigs that aren't complete 0s on the offensive side (like Thomas is). We're going to get into games where Jekiri or Sherman gets into foul trouble, and being able to play a guy as skilled as Uceda is a much better option than having Thomas out there. It's great that we have a 4th big in Thomas who can give us minutes when necessary and can rebound and play D, but we're going to be much better off if we don't have to rely much on Thomas.
