I posted earlier in the thread that he took too much heat from certain posters and was an important player in the Cronin era. I'd have him on Cronin's second team, which isn't an insult to him. He was a great scorer, asked to do too much and other parts of his game suffered a bit as a result. He might even be the most important player of Mick's time here, because of what he did when we were at our lowest.

I didn't take that impression from you. I stated there were other posts made that I felt were unreasonable/invalid arguments and I appreciate your comments regarding Deonta. I was only "bantering" with regard to the comparisons with Logan. Again, it is hard to compare across eras but I wonder the "what ifs" if Deonta had played on some of the talented teams that Logan benefited from and played less minutes. I believe Vaughn ended up at [or near] the top for total minutes played in his career. He probably wore down some by his Senior Year. On the flip, how would Logan have done on the teams and through the gauntlet of the Big East/Best of CUSA that Vaughn played in? We'll never know but it's interesting to ponder. I stand by Deonta is on my first team of the Mick era and you feel he's on second team. Agree to disagree but we're close in our assessment.
