Summer Ball

[wufan]

Ewing and Dreiling was a key match-up as well.

[another shocker]

michael jordan set a (then) record for most points in that mcd's aa game. a man among boys, even then. he could have went pro right out of high school as many did after him, well after him. looked like a chicago bull, even in 1981.

Is that the same Buzz Peterson as the coach we now know???

[ShockRef]

So you're telling me Wamukota is gonna get even more playing time next year and we're going to listen to him being trashed nonstop by a certain someone on this board? I look forward to it.

Looks like the certain J.O.'s on this board don't have an off season either.

Obsession noted.

That is all.

Ah, the annual summertime useless catchall thread. Hopefully soon it will return to talk of the 2015-16 Shockers and what they're doing to get ready to make us oldsters forget a 1981 all-star game (by the way, I'm old enough -- apparently older than Doc, which I wouldn't have expected -- that I was there, too).

Indeed, although he was fired last season I think.


You aren't confusing him with Buzz Williams?

Actually I was confusing the two which I now realize.

so you remember that jordan wasn't even selected mvp of that game. just more fuel to his fire about being disrespected by the basketball talking heads.. he never forgot a slight.

If you want to confirm some of the info reported about Shamet, go find the video from when he won the dunk contest. I think it's in his thread in the Recruiting Forum. Yeah, he's got some ups. Other players say he gets up high enough to look down on the rim. Think of a player as smooth and fluid as Murry with better ups than Kyles. Then put that into a top-100 player.

This is only my opinion, but get ready for another year of Wessel at PF. That's worked pretty well for 2 years now. Brown is a lock for the 3. Depending on how fast Shamet can learn Marshall's offense and get his D up to Marshall's standards, there's going to be war waged in practice for the first perimeter sub.

I think (could be wrong) that VanVleet/Baker/Wessel will be the starters at the 1/2/3 and Frankamp/Shamet/Brown will be off the bench. Taylor and McDuffie are red-shirt candidates based on available PT.

Three PFs is order of class are Grady, Kelly, Hamilton
Three centers in same order are Wamukota, Morris, Nurger

Hamilton is another red shirt candidate with Wessel, Brown, and McDuffie all capable of minutes at the 4.

If wamukota can earn the starting role over Shaq, we are set

I agree with most, if not everything you said. I think that Shamet is likely the first guard off of the bench to begin the year. It is an advantage to him that he begins the year with eligibility while Frankamp is not eligible. Whether he can hold onto that role when Frankamp begins his eligibility remains to be seen.

Umm...Frankamp is GOING to play. I'm not discounting Shamet. We're so freaking good at the 1-2-3 it's not even funny.

I can't wait to see these guys flipping boatrace people in a few months.
