Evansville body.
Plus, he had nowhere near the on-court presence of Erik. He kind of does his work quietly. Nothing wrong with that because sometimes that was Fred. But Erik is confident, loud, and finishes VERY well around the bucket. He knows how to use his long arms to their fullest potential. His layups are very difficult to block as he really hooks the ball wide before releasing.
Erik also has a great frame to build on. He's strong and big enough not to get knocked around on the court playing against some serious machines. Torres is going to have to be ultra-crafty in the AAC. I really thought he was a bit bigger.

Echenique got the blood really flowing down there. That's a BCS player son (old term that really isn't appropriate but will be understood by the regulars). He'd fit right in on any B12 team. Oh God his arms are all over the place and he knows EXACTLY what to do with the ball within 3 feet of the cup. He is legit 6'11 and has dribbling skills. He even drained a long bomb or two.
Is he 35? Everybody on our team looks 30+ save for Torres. All men.

Dexter Dennis.
At one point he couldn't miss a three. Maybe four or five in a row (in a game... dripping with sweat).
He is the most explosive player I have ever seen wear a Shocker uniform. I mean, his dunks are so vicious and superhuman there really are no words. His body is NBA-ready.
Watching an athlete like him put on a show must be what it feels like to be a Cheatin' ChicKUn-****er fan.
P.S. He looks so much like Maurice Evans it scares me.

No Torres in the starting five... interesting?Comment

Torres has a lot of anger - it reminds me of Fred a little. He's very quick too. But he's sooo small. Fred was small too once... still is kinda. But he almost looks out of place on a team full of Captain America's. He's got plenty of skill though. And he even likes to bang. McDuffie almost murdered him on a layup. Welcome to Shocker basketball kid. His passing is sensational but he needs 15-20lbs, like yesterday. He may have a problem defending big, athletic AAC guards. Erik won't have that problem...

Apparently, Cold wasn't kidding about the short term memory thing.Comment

If a person asked me to describe this year's crop of players in one word, it would be professionals. Way too slick - way too flashy for a bunch of newcomers. Either we just made a huge step up in skill and IQ over last year or my frame of reference is out of whack.

How did Udeze look against JE?Livin the dreamComment
-
I didn't think of them as 1 vs 1. I really came in with no preconceived notions regarding the big men. At the beginning Udeze looked kind of sloppy and out of rhythm. Towards the end he played better. But JE was a big surprise. I'm like "Who the **** is this guy?" And a lot of chatter on the sidelines pertained to him. He's going to be VERY good. He picked up the ball with his feet once utilizing a nifty soccer *gags* move. Evidently he has a lot of that in his past *shudders reminiscing about EO and what could have been had he touched a bball before HS* But make no mistake, he dribbles well, has nice hands around the basket, flushes with authority, and has great timing. This was just one game, but I haven't seen a 6'11 guy show this much skill and promise - this early - in... forever.
