Pretty sure Reggie Britton will play more next year, just not for the Shocks.

I think he is headed to NCAA Division II Ouachita Baptist in Arkadelphia, Ark.

Jerome Hamilton?

Son,
If David Kyles is a "C+" at the conclusion of the upcoming season, I'll eat my shoe.

I am not sure this exercise is useful.

re:

There's really no point to this. Also not sure how you can give grades to players you've never seen play.

For this post, I give you an F.

As a poster in general, I give you a C.

As a person, I give you a C+, even though I haven't met you.

You're being too generous.

Take it easy on ‘Sir’, he (she’s?) only 16.

Kyles is my pick for having a breakout year.

Kyles is my pick for having a breakout year.

I concur. It seems that others who have first hand knowledge of DK's abilities also agree with this sentiment (see Q&A with KM and TR from Sully's blog on June 23rd).

Here's the deal. The last time I watched Kyles play this summer, he drained about five 3-pointers in a row. The time before I witnessed DK play this summer, he was driving by his defenders on a regular basis and finishing and caught my eye all evening in several areas of his improved game. Look for DK to have a solid Season this year.

It has been suggested by some who have seen all of our Freshmen play, that Demetric Williams could be the best of our incoming Frosh. FSF has not seen DW play, but Kenny Manigault is the real deal. KM also has had a sweeter outside touch than I expected thus far and makes some very, very impressive passes. As far as Hamilton, he hustles and can finish around the basket and dunk with authority. He appears about 6'6" to me and I doubt he redshirts. Once Tyler Richardson adapts to lifting weights, he too will offer us a nice outside touch and can score.

Clevin has been shooting 'lights out' when I have been there. JT and Stutz will man the Center position to our liking. I have not witnessed Gabe play yet but keep hearing that he is a difference maker. Graham Hatch got hot one night I watched from 3 point land and was burning the nets like we all know he is capable of doing. How will he do with the stands full of 10M plus cheering fans? Stay tuned. Toure' has impressed me since jump street. I probably would have cast my vote for Clevin as MVP last Season (barely) but understood Toure' winning that award. Both players were solid for us and this should continue. I have not seen Coy play but those who have make comparisons to him and Kyle Wilson.

Once I see all the players play, I will have a better feel for this up and coming Season. However, thus far I could project that we will again improve as a team, and I really like what I see in quality depth and athleticism. No doubt that the Valley will also be improved overall.

FSF, I project that you need to either 1) stock up on aspirin for your upcoming heart attack caused by too much excitement or 2) stock up on nitro for the same reason as #1. :)

SirWanksoffalot,

No way is Kyles a C. Clevin will be an A along with Kyles. I would add about 1 or 2 slots to each one of yours. Not a great effort.

FUNNY!

This is an opinionated basketball discussion, not a 7th grade insult contest. OK, I was off on Kyles. I'm sorry that I have offended you all so incredibly deeply. I'll go back to my class at Rainbow Academy now.
