He was absolutely underrated, I was just responding to the criticism...
...that is often directed at Buzz in terms of not liking his "fit" or whatever, VT had mailed it in on that class of kids to the point that it isn't accurate to treat it like a situation of a misevaluation (which it may have been in another universe where had VT been recruiting that group with more energy) when in many ways the coach was running the program in a way where he knew he would be out the door soon.
And not to diminish anything he accomplished at Gate City but he was a really good player on the Adidas circuit playing on a top 10 grassroots team in the country with a number of highly recruited teammates, lots of coaches saw him and lots of coaches missed. I was a fan because he played his tail off, with that said he was an inconsistent shooter and certainly presented problems for some coaches in terms of evaluating what position he would play. Ultimately what happened to Mac, he went to a place where he could play right away with the ball in his hands a lot, was the best thing that could have happened. He made another great decision in transferring to Texas Tech.
