I'm liking what I'm seeing with the Shocks right now. I think they just flipped the switch. If I see continued toughness against VCU (and a victory) I'm predicting we go 3-1 through our first 4 AAC games. My vision will not allow me to see beyond that.
Erik Stevenson put his life on the line for the loose ball yesterday. He's always been the closest Play Angry player we had. Last night he graduated to full status. He absolutely could be out on the floor with Fred and Ron and not stick out. He now carries the magic light and I do believe he will teach his teammates to harness it by getting up in their ****ing faces and screaming at them. We have our leader.
I really love how Ricky is starting to bring the moxie. In the summer I noticed he was smaller than projected. The really bad thing was that he played small also. Fred always seemed to play big if you know what I mean. Well Ricky is playing MUCH bigger now PLUS he's hitting a few baskets. I'd like to see him get his hands on some balls a la FVV. Then we've got another piece of the Play Angry puzzle cookin'... steals.
Mr. Echenique - he requires no introduction.
SHJ is evolving
Mark McDuffie is producing
Udeze and Burton are going to improve and have very nice attributes you can't teach.
Poor Bear learned how to start his motor and apparently can distort the time-space continuum and generate electricity. Asgardian ancestry?
Rod Brown actually made an appearance on a stat sheet. His body is special and must be utilized. He's got to find his niche. He may be dumb as a box of rocks but even an ape (don't even go there SJW's) can be taught to rebound and take a charge.
When Dexter's coconut heals we'll have a 10 player rotation to work with (Sorry God-Bear).
We're not exceptionally deep but we're very big and have excellent athleticism.
Jaime needs to nix the heart hangup and make peace with his god - you only live once bro and you definitely only get one shot in Koch Arena - play like every game is your last (you'll thank me later); Dexter needs to realize he isn't constrained by the Matrix and can actually fly (just like Neo), Ricky needs to watch every single Shocker game FVV played in over Christmas break and become the embodiment (or poor man's version) of the kid from Rockford, Illinois (and get his hands on 1-2 steals a game; SHJ needs to keep being the new SHJ (and get his hands on 1-2 steals a game), Poor Bear needs to have a designated teammate who will slap him in the face 5 times before he heads out to the court; Mark needs to drop the ***** fadeaways and keep heading downhill when he has the ball (minimal dribbling); Burton needs to regain his mojo and focus on rebounding, on-ball defense, and cutting hard because he knows how to finish; Udeze - Stop Cadillac'ing! I watched you do this over the summer too. Dunk the ball GD'it!
And Erik... you just keep bein' you boy. <3 <3 <3 You carry the torch now bro.
