Recent Guards in the Valley

[ShockerFever]

Let's just say he's gonna be extremely hated by Valley opponents for years to come.

I know what you mean but he doesn't show a lot of emotion.

Hard to hate someone who just goes about their business.

I didn't mean it like that. He keeps his emotions more in check than anybody I've ever seen.. ESPECIALLY for a freshman. He's a cool cucumber, for sure. He could give the sophomore P'unk Stinnett some lessons in that field.

He's gonna be hated because of how good he's gonna be. That's all I meant. It'll be a good, respectable hate.

I get ya. He's gonna be one of those players that opposing teams are thinking...."Man, this guy has been around FOREVER...when will he graduate." I remember thinking that about several good Valley players over the years...it's just nice to finally have one of those on our side :).

Exactly.

Murray drains another 3 to get 25 points for the game. 'God, I hate that guy!!!'

Murray with the steal and nice dish to Stutz for the jam. "Damn itttt, I hate himmm!!'

Toure reminds me of a bigger Chalmers,smooth with a nice overall floor game.

Even better, and I know I'm showing my K-State roots here, but how about Rolando Blackman. 6'6" good shooter, smooth as the day is long. But, Toure has the confidence that Jack Hartman had to beg for Ro to display.

Toure has the confidence and skills to be a winner, and maybe it is rubbing off on the rest of the team. Having him for 3 more years is gonna be great.
I see him as a real good leader his Jr. and Sr. years.

It should be even better next year when Manigault and Coy are playing. Think that Toure will get even more open looks.

Comparison to Darren Brooks is a good one.

A quick look at some of the 1,000 Point Club Shockers in their Freshmen seasons. The blanks are where the statistic was not printed in the Media Guide. Toure compares quite well only part way thru the season, wouldn't you say?

Nice stats im4wsu. That's a nice outlook indeed. It would be nice to see his percentages come up a bit more though.
