Shockers v. Rattlers- Season Opener

[1972Shocker]

Brings back memories of a former Shocker tormentor who played for Tulsa. Mr. Paul Pressey who was 6'5" tall, but who seemed to take up half the width of the court with his quickness and wingspan at the point of that half court press Tulsa would use.

KJ? I thought it was KM (Manigault is his last name... did I miss something?)

Manigault's nickname is "K.J."

Thanks Tropicalshox. I did not know that was his nickname, but now I do! I did think that was who everyone was referring to.

Did anyone catch coaches comments about KJ in the postgame? He said the kid has a 6'11" wingspan and will really change the way we trap and guard the perimeter. Said this will cure our deficiences of our point guards not being fast or tall enough. Hannah was really complimentary of Toure in the postgame said he's a real playmaker.

It's only one game - just wait until our new guys get the game figured out and our team gets some chemistry going. I have a feeling this is a fast learning group.

You wouldn't, except the so called fan was just a knock at not knowing it was the prized recruit from this signing period.

The other part just blurted out cause for some reason i picture you as very white (guess that would be pastie not pasty) and balled headed. Almost uncle fester looking. Not sure where I got this from but that is how I picture you.

[ShockerFever]

I know where you got it from Ta Town.

And by 'balled', do you mean 'bald'? .. :lol:

[shockar25]

I noticed that Mason Felter did not play. Coach had mentioned a possible redshirt--has anyone heard if that's officially what's happened or is it still being mulled over?

[pinstripers]

Since Felter did not suit up, that's a logical assumption. If Kyles is gonna be the 11th man, it woulda........oh, never mind; too late now.

Living in Tucson I obviously didn't get to watch the game but one stat that blows my mind is Murry- 10 assists!! Ten assists for a freshmen PG just has to get you EXCITED for the Shocks. Keep him surounded by some talent and you got to LOVE the Shocks future over the next four years!!!

I guess I misunderstood Mike Kennedy. Toure only had 5 assists, but still a great start for him.

By the way I had the point spread right but had the score 6 points higher than the actual. The discussion on winning by fifteen or not was a bit conservative IMO. The Shock''s impressed me more than most by their start against ESU. Our substitution pattern in that game kept things closer than it could of been. IMO we could become better than many thought. I understand remaining cautiously optimistic, but we just could become pretty darn good.

[60Shock]

Ok, I feel comfortable enough in making a prediction now..

aFm - 52
WSU - 68

This one's for 60shock so he doesn't have a heart attack.

SF, appreciate your genuine concern about the status of my health and acknowledgement that Florida A&M is a "weak" team.

After the Shockers' 24 point win today, my poor old Achy Breaky heart is fluttering so out of control that I that I am contemplating predicting that unless we beat Georgetown by at least 15 points, it's going to be a long, long season. But I just may sleep on this one for a week or so.

I don't think anyone was against the notion that Florida A&M was a 'weak' team. The question was how 'good' was our team in its first game of the year, starting 4 newbies, if you will, in the game.

That's good that you should sleep on this one for a week, because the G-Town game is over a week and a half away. I'll focus on UMKC, a team tied with KU at the half currently in Lawrence.

Thanks for the civil answer. Cold and I appreciate it.

[vancedave56]

Coach said before the game that Felter will red shirt.

[Ricky Del Rio]

Just some stuff as follows:

1. Garrett was way more comfortable in this game, when compared to last game.

2. Murry had the pass of the game to Garrett at the north end.

3. When Hawkins decides to take it to the rack, either get out of the way or get run over. His drives have so damn much power to them. I am not sure, which past Shocker compares.

4. I am not sure how many turnovers we had against the Snake press, but it wasn't very many. I remember the early years, under our last coach, and our success against the press was not pretty.

5. Hatch! Who wouda thought?

6. It will be interesting to learn the number of minutes that Kyles gets in the next game. When he came into the game, I read his body language as being less than enthusiastic.
