Kolek planning to go pro
Buycks has turned himself into a helluva point Guard. He's a way better player now then he was in college.
#TBT has a pic up of all you great fans from last week in Chicago.Too bad chick and I were away from town. Lookin' good!
But he never has. Gardner has great hands, great feet, great instinct around the basket, great touch. He is an absolute brute down low. But.... he has always struggled to play defense in space, he has always struggled with his weight, and he will never be taller than 6'7. Let's pretend, for the sake of argument, that he was on Cavaliers' roster. Who would he have been able to guard for Golden State? Let's pretend he was a Warrior as a pro, too. Who could he have guarded on Cleveland?
Buycks looks like a NBA player. Jamil looks like a D League player. Jerel, DJO, they have their moments but are inconsistent.What it is to me is fun. It's a great chance to see our guys again. To see Gardner be a bully in the post, to see Derrick play bigger than his size, to see Jerel play defense. Hope they win it all, but regardless I love the competition for the chance to see these guys again. Hope it helps their careers, but Buycks looks like the only guy with a NBA shot. Gardner...no way.
Im sure this has been asked and answered somewhere, search is not providing it.Where's Dominic James and Lazar?
It's Dominic Wright now, and I believe he is selling Pulloons.
That was a lot of fun.I told my wife before the game, "It's just a bunch of our former players and I promise I won't get too wound up during the game" -- because, well, let's just say I get pretty amped for the big games.I didn't have to say all that, though, because it was Mrs. MU82 who was clapping and cheering and yelling at the TV! It was really funny. I guess we both missed watching MU hoops -- and it was a blast seeing some of our faves from the last few years on the court together.When it was over, I was happy that our guyz won, of course. But I think I was happier that now we get to watch them again tomorrow night!
Back to James. He played in Qatar for the last couple of seasons, but not sure what he's doing now. Twitter says he's in Atlanta, and still keeps an eye on MU hoops.Lazar is harder to track down. He signed with the Lakers D-League team towards the end of last season, but there wasn't much on him beyond that.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
Watched the second game between Always A Brave and Pedro's Posse. Always A Brave is made up of vets of Bradley's sweet sixteen team from ten years ago. They are going to be tough to beat.Marcellus Sommerville has been playing in France since and will be tough to stop. Marquette's advantage will be youth and guard depth. Always A Brave also has O'Bryant at center who was an NBA lottery pick. Luckily he seems to be out of shape.
Wardle versus Wojo
Which brings up another point. Always A Brave was coached by ex-Indiana U four year starter and Peoria native A J Guyton assisted by his high school coach. They seemed to be very well coached. Given Wes' lack of coaching experience, I think that Always A Brave could have an edge there.
Wes is definitely called out plays etc. I think he is taking it seriously and enjoying his role.
Hopefully, he and Fitz and most players stuck around and scouted the next game.
Probably in new Orleans somewhere tracking spirits or auditioning for the next ghostbusters.
Don't be a d!ck. Get over yourself and your adolescent jokes. Lazar gave everything he had for MU. His Mom walked out on him when he was a kid. Unless you have lost a parent you don't know the struggle he's faced. It's easy to rip someone's idioscynracies when you don't know their story. He's searching for something. It'd be a lot cooler if you could man up and not judge him.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
