Chipola watch

[Aargh]

I have to tell this story.

I used to play pickup games with a 6'7" jumping jack who claimed he had a scholarship offer from WSU. He claimed he couldn't afford the scholarship. He was working and going to school on loans, which was economically better than a scholarship.

I don't know if I believed him, but I played with the scholarship players a bit and this guy seemed legit compared to the team.

One day in a pickup game I learned about a matchup zone. I was always the PG (5'8" will do that). I left my defender stumbling over his jock strap. I dribbled past him far enough that I knew he couldn't block me from behind. Then I went up for the mid-range pull-up jumper.

That's the only shot I've seen in my life that got blocked by an armpit.

I was about 12' from the basket on the right side just outside the key when I went up. That was the first time I looked for the basket - didn't want to give it away that I was going for the shot.

All I saw was an armpit. The 6'7" guy had switched to me in the matchup zone. I was already in the air. I took a look at shooting around him, but couldn't do it. The best I could do was shoot it into his armpit and hope I had a story to tell.

One of the best juco players of last season will probably end up at Chipola this year. Kenny Williams, a 6-5 SF averaged a little over 23 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and a little under two blocks per game last year at Florissant Valley C.C. I don't know much about his past but he is 25 years old.

He will not be at Chipola. Going to Moberly instead. If we are interested, it probably doesn't make much difference.

Aishon White is being recruited by WSU, Eastern Kentucky, Texas Southern, Arkansas State, Detroit and UAB. Eastern Kentucky offered and he is visiting them on Friday. The article call him a 6-3 combo guard.

Watched the vid. I also had Earl down for 10 points, although they only gave one FT for all shooting fouls.

He was 4 for 7 from the field with 7 boards and 2 for 2 from the line.

Not too much emphasis on defense, but that's not surprising given the event.

He enters the game at 9:44 and finishes the first half.

Then he enters at the 40:37 mark of the second half and finishes the game.

Especially notable were a post moves at 14:40 and 17:03, the latter being a nice drop step dunk in the half court.

Yeah, that drop step dunk will get Koch loud! He posted his man up on offense quite a bit (I only watched the first half). Suprisingly, the guards actually fed the post quite often.

Thanks for the Vid Trop!
