Gabe Blair

[The Mad Hatter]

Gabe and Ramon seem to have similar stats:

GB 23.2 mpg, 6.9 rpg, 7.7 ppg, 65.1% FT (56-86), 86 fouls, 4 foul out, 38 stl, 25 blk
RC 26.9 mpg, 7.9 rpg, 7.0 ppg, 59.0% FT (49-83), 75 fouls, 2 foul out, 22 stl, 11 blk

Looks like they both love to board. GB seems to be a little more foul prone due to aggressive defense (see the blocks and steals) which appears to have limited his minutes somewhat.

GB also averaged 7.0 rpg as Frosh (3rd in conference)

His foul trouble may also come from the fact that he was playing out of position as a center at ECU, which he won't have to do here.

Ramon and Gabe will help each other become a better player banging on each other and competing in practice as well.

Gabe's going have to sit out a year but he gets to learn from Ramon on having a mean streak instilled in him and that's a good thing :good:

Although not Duke, Kansas or North Carolina... not too bad to say the least.

I love this quote...

"After talking with Coach (Gregg) Marshall, I felt something special is about to happen there," Blair said. "I felt like I could be a big part of it."

I liked that, too. So much so, it's now in my sig!

Just another componet of our masterpiece foundational blueprint intrinsics towards our quest to march into March Madness in due time. Gabe sounds like still another key recruit that will help us rise to the top of the heap in the Valley and thus onward to that big dance and basketball promised land we long for here in Shockerlandtownville. It's all good.

Is that heart rate starting to rise again FSF?

I believe that Gabe also shot 54% from the field, and has good range to 12-15 ft..

Wow

Good heavens -- did dofo collaborate on that sentence? Calm down, man. We're all excited here (well, probably except KC), but let's not hyperventilate. You may have a heart attack before you get to enjoy the fruits of Marshall's labor.

I thought that was pretty calm for FSF.

FSF must be a little tired this afternoon
