No surprise or let down here. :D

From all I've read, mostly here, most of the reports this summer were very high on Jaime and that it looked like it might be his position to lose. I'm not really all that surprised as God Bear was reported to be a fairly raw project IIRC. Of course, I'm an old fart so my memory ain't what it used to be and I'm too lazy to look back at any of the posts or threads where I vaguely remember reading this. But I would also say that I'm not surprised just based on how little the man played last season. And I will add that I'm disappointed we're not hearing about what a stud he is but that may take another year or two.Comment

Nobody really mentioned McDuffie as being hard to guard either and he’s afringe level All Conference player.Comment

Honestly, McDuffie's strength isn't that he's a guy who can get his own bucket and create off the bounce. His strength is that he can stretch the floor with his shooting, and defensively can cause problems with his length. He can be a borderline All-Conference player, but he gets there if he has players on the floor with him who can create off the bounce and cause the defense to rotate and leave itself exposed.Originally posted by Dan View Post"In God we trust, all others must bring data." - W.

I think Poor Bear did mention Markis as his hardest to guard. But when you look at the make up of the newcomers interviewed I'm not sure this is to surpirsing. I counted 6 guards, 2 small forwards and 3 bigs. None of the guards are likely to be guard Markis (although as an aside he might be called to guard them) and I believe all 6 guards picked Samajae. Not surprising his quickness would given them trouble. Chance picked Teddy because of his strength and unorthodox game. Again not too surprising considering Chance's slight build. Chance probably matches up much better against Markis than he does Teddy. Teddy picked Jamarius, interestingly because of Jamarius' strengh. That one is strength on strength.Originally posted by Dan View Post
Poor Bear picked Markis. Jamie said Morris, Poor Bear and Asbjorn were all tough for him because of their heft compared to him. Morris picked Jaime whose length and athleticism not doubt present a tough challenge.
OTOH hand Markis received a lot of love when it came to helping the newcomvers out and providing leadership.
It was an interesting set of interviews. Loved hearing all the positive comments about Samajae. I'm not going to read too much into these interviews. I just enjoyed hearing directly from the newcomers.
I hope Paul follows up with a similar set of interviews with the returning players.Comment

Markis was our leading Scorer and Rebounder two years ago. I hope he gets back to offensive rebounding and playing defense first, and then his scoring and shooting will just happen naturally.Comment

I believe that is Dexter Dennis in the photo in the lower right hand corner of this tweet: https://twitter.com/GoShockersMBB/st...87586899480577
You can enlarge that enlarge each photo by clindking on it.
Now it may be a little difficult to guage with Dexter guarding a 3 foot opponent and a lowered basket in the background but this guy looks like he has some impressive length and a couple of grappling hooks for hands.

A few years back, us out-of-towners were lucky enough to watch Shocker Madness on ShockerVision or whatever it was called. Since that got the ax, it's been tough to follow. Has anyone heard anything about streaming the practice?Originally posted by im4wsu View Post
If not, I'm sure I speak for all those unable to attend when I say that any detailed reports would be greatly appreciated. I will certainly be devouring any and all descriptions of who can jump out of the gym, if there's someone who will likely never miss a 3-pointer in their Shocker career, that McDuffie has put on 50 pounds or Asbjorn has grown a foot, etc.Comment

Does anyone know the itinerary for Saturday and the estimated time for the men's actual scrimmage?Comment

Dexter just post a picture on his Instagram story with one foot in a boot.Comment

2:00 and I'm sure they will put the women up first so they have a crowd to play in front of. I have no idea how long they intend to run each one.Originally posted by asiseeit View PostDeuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.
