A challenge to Austin Hollins for BT/ACC: Florida State's Snaer: 'I can't be guarded'

[BleedGopher]

At 6-5, Snear is a tough match-up for us and I'm sure the two Hollins' will trade off. Quite the quote, although I admire the confidence:

“I’ve been believing in myself and now, I’m at a point now, I feel like if I’m not the best, I’m one of the best two-guards in the country,” Snaer told ESPN.com. “I strongly feel that way. I’ve been up against all the guys at [LeBron’s camp], where you see all the guys at your position. I really feel that, in my mind, if I’m not the best, I’m one of the best. I can’t be guarded.”

He can be guarded. I hope Hollins does it.

The Hollins guys can stop this dude:

While a formidable player, I don't think unguardable would be a word used to describe Snaer. I remember when he came out of HS as a McD's All-American, he was reputed as a possible one-and-done; didn't think staying until senior year was his intention. Will be a good challenge for the Gophers though.

A little more commentary on the subject from Yahoo; also wondering to myself if we'll see Rodney Williams guarding Snaer at times during the game, it would be fun to see the match-up between the two seniors.

I'd have to think that such a big head would mess with his lateral quickness.

LOL!!

(Putting your foot in your mouth will do that as well.)

His field goal percentage disagrees, unless he is just being nice and choosing to miss about 60% of his shots.

Let's see if this holds true tonight.

Go Gophers!!

I'd love to see Hollins shut him down.

Snaer looks like a scorer. Just contain him and stay out of the foul bonus. He is good at drawing fouls.
