AUFightingSoldiers 685 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 For everyone that is questioning Varez and why he hasn't been a world beater, I have a little information for you. Varez Ward has not bheen playing at 100%... not even close. His old teammates from Jeff Davis have told me. They, as well as us, are waiting to see the real Varez play ball at Auburn. Just letting everyone know: He is, in fact, a world beater. He will be one of a hand full of players that will have Auburn basketball not only contending for the SEC championship, but making a push in the NCAA tournament.

NoALtiger 3,867 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Perhaps he should play more when he is closer to 100% then. Might be better for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I hope you are right, and hope he gets healed up, because we won't take the next step without a point guard who can create scoring opportunities when they are hard to come by.

danno 2 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I hope that is the case. So far he has been a disappointment. In a tight I would rather see Josh handling the ball. We need a true point guard. One that can shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a true point guard. One that can shoot. That quad has and probably will continue to give him problems. Barbee himself has said that it limits his speed and explosiveness a great deal. He is probably playing at 80-90% or so if that much. I don`t know if rest will help or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegle777 78 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 He tweeted me back tonight and said his leg was good to go. Varez Ward (@Vward_1) 1/27/12 7:34 PM @AuburnDominance yes I should be ready to go Varez is good people. One of a small few Auburn players that will actually acknowledge a fan's tweets.

I`m glad he is good to go but after watching him Wed. night, I doubt he is 100%. I sure hope so but would be surprised. I hate him having these problems because he can be so explosive when well. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what has happened (I've seen the stories about this two day rest that have invigorated him but I don't buy that as the reason), but Ward has been different the last 2 1/2 games. Against MSU he drove the ball at will, and scored, got to the line, and created opportunities for others. We scored the most points we have in SEC play even without much production from our post players. Our offense was different. I quoted myself above because, honestly, I didn't think Ward could be that guy. I thought his former self was gone, but clearly not. I hope to see in person tonight, a continuation of what he has shown the last couple games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigeraddikt 1,615 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Great AP article on Varez pulished yesterday. Didn't know he had mad hops like a 38" vertical! Too bad about the tendon tear. I'm a personal trainer, and I can't imagine attempting to get a torn quadriceps muscle or tendon(s) to resume full explosive strength and flexibility in less than 2 yrs. I'm proud for his determination. WE Mr. Ward! http://onlineathens.com/sports/college-sports/2012-02-09/auburns-ward-flashing-signs-former-self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
