2019-20 Games of Interest

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

I couldn’t disagree more. That dude put his body on the line all the time in the two years he was here despite the shoulder injuries. To the point that I recall Marshall making comments that he worried about Austin’s health with the way he threw his body around.

Despite his physical limitations (strength wise) he was a willing defender.

He was a high IQ player who generally took care of the ball, made smart decisions, and would make a pass.

He could shoot the **** out of the ball.

Which one of those things doesn’t fit on Marshall team?

All of that is your opinion and perspective.

I bet I can tell you one thing he did that didn't fit with a Marshall team...

Dating habits?

[ShockTalk]

Austin is a one-trick pony. He will shoot shoot shoot shoot and shoot some more. No defense, no sense of running the offense and getting others involved. I'll take a complete player like Dex any day and probably at least 5 others on the Shox current roster.

As a freshman: 10th in minutes / 7th in FG% (ahead of CF) / 1st 3pt% / 9th in rebounds (ahead of CF) and per minute ahead of L Shamet, D Smith, Z Brown / steals per minute ahead of LS / and 5th in blocks (ahead of LS, CF, ZB, RK, DS, and 1 fewer than MM).

As a sophomore: 5th in minutes / 6th in FG% (again ahead of CF) / 3rd in 3pt% / 4th in rebounds (tied with LS who played 300 minutes more) / Best among non-post players in blocks.

Finished here with a 2 to 1 A/TO best among non PGs.

Clearly, the guy who wants to air a former player's dirty laundry is the person who's correct here.

[Walker]

LOL Austin still has us divided. It should be fun when he comes to town.

[Mr. Pickle]

Some of you sound like the guy that got dumped by the kinda hot chick who left you for another guy, and can't get over it. I can't remember a transfer that was obsessed over more than AR, even if most typically leave for playing time when he didn't.

I don't have anything against the guy, and if he likes his new home better, good for him. I hope we beat the breaks off an OU team that has one coming for them. But good Lord, we need the next game to hurry up and get here so AR doesn't continue to be debated ad nauseam.

[Shocker1976]

My last post regards AR until post the Shockers' Dec 14th game against OU (a Shocker victory in my prognostications). IMO very unlikely any Shockernetter knows why AR left; but I am confident HC3G knows exactly why AR left and I pray that this learning experience for Marshall ensures the Shockers never lose another player of AR's ability to a transfer to another D1 MBB program.

[1979Shocker]

I was not going to comment further regards Austin; however, given what appears to me to be uniformed posts by some Shockernetters,note Austin's numbers include two games against D! schools Oregon State and Minnesota. Additionally, Lonnie Kruger appears to appreciate Austin as he leads the team in minutes played.

Edit - Apologies for the collapsed Table, I don't know why this happened. My take away is that AR is likely to light-up the Shockers this season.

None of us are sure which one it was that got him benched in favor of Frankenkamp late in the season. Changed the team's mo didn't it?

I'd take all of those other players over him.
