Summer Scrimmage reports

[double dribble]

The last time I was this excited was when I found 3 seasons of Gilligan's Island on DVD at Target.

[another shocker]

that all sounds plausible

Losing TA hurt but I am still very up beat. It will take awhile, I think, for the Frenchman to make an impact. PF is the only
position I am concerned about. I could actually see DD starting there b/c he is such a good rebounder and able to guard a
bigger stretch four. I salivate at a defensive line up of JB, TE, ES, DD and either of our top two 5's with GS, Wade and DG
realizing the way to get PT is through defense. None of these guys would be a surprise on the upside to me. I am expecting
greatness from the freshmen guards, especially on D and hoping for a big upside surprise from one or two at PF. If that happens
we will be top 3 in conference and dancing.

Ok, so it's hard not to think of KD watching his ball handling, driving dunks, and outside shooting. Gotta get his shot closer to the top of his head on release (too easy to block a low release) but... WOW! I think we stole a 5 star talent.

I'm insanely hyped for next year. Seriously. I haven't been this excited since.... The year before last year. I know we all thought we had national title aspirations only to be eliminated in the first round. That kinda tempered the ol expectations for the following year, especially learning we lost Shamet.

But we overachieved (big time, in my book, especially in light of our start.).

I am hearing such good things about our new guys, plus Gregg is pulling in his most complete recruiting class ever. He now has a bevy of 4* guys. Look what he did to cheating Louisville with a bunch of less rated recruits.

Another Final Four coming. Maybe not next year, but it's coming.

If the new JB can really play the 3 and 4 and perform the script above by shoxlax, defeating our beloved Shocks in due time with the Squad we have coming in here will be more complex than pulling hens teeth. Still hoping we get some eye witness SN folk that reports on here what they see this summer. Right now I think from what I read that we will be improved over last Season, and better than the Mags will at first think. Then I think the following Season the Shocks will even be better yet, but Mags will be on board with that by then.

Since it is summer and we long for Shocker hoops, the link above deserves another look IMO. Enjoy.

Thank you so much for that video.. I was hoping to see more of his shooting ability. And this video was great. A lot of guys look good dunking. For example Eric Hamilton and CJ Keyser. But a big man that is only a freshmen shooting like that gives me hope. Go Shocks.

Need to get back to the F4. We have some pieces...

Insert "Old Time" (Play Angry) Shocker basketball and we're on our way.

I fantasize about Ron, Fred, and Evan sitting in the corner of the Shocker locker room telling the newbie softies how to play.

Update: The script I referred to be Shoxlax for JB is in the recruiting section under JB. I agree with his synopsis on JB.

Sherfield Eitiene Dexter Bilau Echinique... imagine that lineup

[forevershockerfan]

Would agree with double dribble on this and believe Etienne is going to be quite the Shocker player with serious looks from Pros in his future. Double Dribble knows Shocker Basketball as far back as early after SN began.

I suppose this could be considered close to a scrimmage report. From ESPN announcer...

All this talk and Mike O Donnell has not seen any of the players play. I guess that's all we can expect this summer.

I think Etienne can guard based on that tweet. They said he’s giving guys fits 90’ from the basket.

[wufan]

Dexter Dennis is Mo Evans. Etienne is Cotton. Get it straight!
