Shocker Madness?

[SB Shock]

Baker wins the 3-point contest barely edging out Frankamp and FVV. Shamet wins the dunk contest barely beating out Taylor or Brown if they get in this one.
See ya'll there and we shant be late.

From what I have heard - this won't be even close. CF wins the 3point contest in runaway fashion. That is how good he is.

I thought I read that they can participate in tonight's "practice" like any other practice, but cannot participate in either the closed scrimmage/exhibition games.

He's talking about the guys who verballed. 99% sure those guys can't participate.

[ShockdaWorld]

Oh, because they can't compete against "outside competition"? Now that you mention it, I kind of remember seeing something like that somewhere along the way. I was thinking that was in regards to guys that were already part of the program (Peyton/Conner/redshirts), wasn't sure about guys still being recruited.

We've all heard of times when recruits come in for visits during the summer and go to the gym and play pick-up with the team. I wonder if there's any chance that Keyser and/or Mitchell laces them up for a little run tonight? Or is that even legal given that this is considered an actual practice instead of just a summer pick-up game?

...Marshall demands more than Frankamp's previous coach.

Now there's the understatement of the day.

It's the difference between credentials and performance.

[Aargh]

Let me start off by saying Frankamp is the best 3-point shooter ever to wear a Shocker uni. He should be able to set the all-time 3-pointers made mark in 2-1/2 years. There is no way he should lose the 3-point contest. that's what he does.

If he doesn't win it, I'm not going to rag on him. It's been over a year since he's done anything in front of a crowd. He's got to be feeling some pressure to perform at a new school. He's probably never seen what Marshall and his teammates expect from anyone on the team.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it takes Conner a little time to regain his confidence and have some swag. He needs that to do what he does. He'd better have his confidence and swag back before he hits the court for his first game at IBA. That could be intimidating to someone who hasn't played a game since the 2014 NCAA's.

I will be neither surprised nor disappointed if it takes Frankamp until February to show what he's capable of doing. Expecting him to come in and light it up from Day 1 isn't realistic - especially after his experience at KU. If he can come in from Day 1 and light it up, then his overall game has progressed unbelievably since he transferred. Marshall demands more than Frankamp's previous coach.

Fred won't be in the three point contest and Conner wins. Baker has been my favorite player since he enrolled (yes, I chose him as my player-to-follow the minute I knew he was coming which means I chose him his redshirt year), but I don't think he beats Conner in the threes.

Sully says the 3-point contest will be FVV, Bake, Conner, Peyton Allen--dunk contest will be Zach Brown, Rashard Kelly, McDuff, Hamilton, Shamet, and Taylor---barring any injuries.

Man I would love to see us play Creighton!!!!!!

Can we really afford to take the RPI hit they would give us?

You know, some video captured during the Madness and posted immediately on here would be a great thing for you guys to do. Great for out of town guys like me anyway!

It's probably going to be Keyser's official visit.

[wufan]

Anybody know of any recruits other than Mitchell coming to Shocker madness?

Keyser is coming. Not sure if you consider him a recruit since he verballed.
