Who wants to see the future of Shocker Basketball?

[C0|dB|00ded]

It's Friday, so let's make it a party!

Early with the sweet stroke from down deep. Armstead with the sick theft (I swear his arm extended an extra foot in this one - perhaps we can call him Mr. Fantastic?). I love the look on his face after.. He's like, "What? You think a few lb's around my waist is going to slow me down?"

Armstead with a nice move in the lane. A stalker-like shot of EO. And then Baker draining another one from deep (Does this guy ever miss?).

DW's artwork on display. Another stalker-shot of EO just being wide and debonair. I would think that EO could pull home some fine strange back in Nigeria. Or do they all look like him down there? Okay, more basketball, less gay. EO with the ultra-sweet/quick/smooth/efficient/effortless/unconscious baby hook. He hit a very high percentage of his shots in these videos. There was only one time where he had like 4 rebounds on one shot that rimmed out.

In this video EO is doing everything I had ever hoped, prayed, and dreamed for. He receives a dish down low, shows great footwork, patience, and then finishes with no dribbles or wasted motion.

I believe that EO is MUCH improved from last year. He's thinking less and starting to just play ball. I am hoping for great things out of him this year.

Plus, he's 7 foot and looks like this....

I hope Cold doesn't put the Casey Crawford Curse on Ehimen :D

Green looks so skinny in those videos. He needs to live in the weight room this summer

this thread is creepy

Why do I find myself searching for Judy Garland videos all of a sudden?

Can't tell you how many of those jump hooks I've seen in pick up and practice....There aren't a dozen players in college, anywhere, that can stop that shot.

The key, the $64,000 question, is can we see it during the game?

When you hear coaches talk of EO dominating practice, it's things like the jump hook that cannot be un-seen, to borrow a phrase.

Those that have seen these practices realize if 80% of EO's potential can be realized during games that GE will be little more than a stain on the road and a crewcut, in pink shoes.

I heard that EO made such a fancy-smancy move and shot this week versus Carl Hall, that it even made "the beast" smile from ear to ear. We don't need EO to score 20 per game. We need him to continue to develop good hands, pass the rock back out to the open shooters unless he is wide open and then score the ball, set good picks, block and alter shots, and rebound like there is no tomorrow. If he does this on a consistent basis, then we will be cookin with olive oil.

I hope EO keeps working on his inside moves where they are fluid and quick, and shoots so many inside shots this summer that he can consistently make these shots in his sleep. A 60-70 percent throw average would also help because if he does what I wrote above, our opponents will declare 'hammer time' on EO.

We have seen several Shocks save their best for their Senior Season in times past. Let's hope our Seniors do the same this very Season.

He does need to put on some weight, but you should see him shoot 3's. Watched him work with the ball-return machine and he easily made more than he missed.

If he can guard a 3 in this league, he will be a nightmare match-up.

I like how our guard are looking. Baker is looking like he can be a zone buster for the next 4 years.

Man.

Skinny's not all bad as long as you're not pounding it inside. Just ask Durant.

FTs, like any other habit, requires repetition after repetition. EO should become so comfortable shooting FTs that he can do it with his eyes closed. But I'll be satisfied with at less a 60-70% average.

Baker will get plenty of playing time if he can do well on the defensive end.
