Tuesday night.....Oconomowoc High School Fieldhouse....
JP Tokoto faces TJ Schlundt....the game of initials for first names. Schlundt is the son of MU legend Terrell Schlundt. He's a freshman....starts, should be a nice player....not sure if he's D1 material yet, but he's having a pretty good freshman year.
TJ Schlundt looks like the traditional type...does he have the same behind the head shooting form his dad had?
I knew Schlundt. He had a strange form but he could wing it. I ran into him about 20 years ago on the ramp at Mitchell Field. He worked for an air freight company in Milwaukee. I was parking a jet for a few days and needed someone from the AF Base to sign for it. Schlundt now works for a debt collection agency.

yeah, he is VP of Sales. He came over with the management team he worked for at Burlington Air Freight.
You could always tell when Terrell was going to miss a shot as he turned his body to the left when he missed. If he kept square, he was almost 100%.
I don't know if we should be calling Terrell Schlundt a legend. A decent player mind you, but not a legend.

I agree. I like Schlundt as he's a good guy but he is not a basketball legend.
He could stroke it though. Good ol' number 33, right?
I remember when he broke his nose. He wore a mask of sorts. Bizarre looking but it was protection. He could shoot the deep ball.
Didn't we have a center go out injured early in the season..., and Terrell Schlundt had to play center? Seems to me that that is how he broke his nose. Also why his career is not as outstanding as it could have been. Also, seems to me to be the reason that Doc Rivers went to the NBA early. Someone correct me, please, if I am 'misremembering'.

Is that when the practice of playing players "out of position" started?

I was kidding. But it took you guys 6 hours to call me on it.

You are misremembering, Schlundt was older than Doc, so would have been gone his senior year. Twas another player that helped along that decision.

Sex reared its ugly head and Doc was gone...

Kind of figured as such rara. But nobody else had done it yet.

So, Doc won't be hirin' #52 to represent him?

Doc and #52 have both wandered the same sacred ground, much to Mr M's chagrin...
that actually happened the summer #52 was in DC interning..., and Doc stayed here. As 52's roomate, Doc assumed various duties and priveledges.
But I think Doc was a soph and TS was a senior. Again, a little fuzzy on it.
TJ Schlundt can shoot it too. He probably hit 4 triples tonight, including one to pull within 1 point with 16 seconds to play. He's a freshman for Oconomowoc and has the same stroke as Terrell. The Falls were up by 9 or 10 at the half, but TJ and others had a nice 3rd quarter to knot up the game at the end of the third.
JP had some nice dunks and a couple turnarounds from the wing. He plays way above the rim. He'd be a great pickup for any team.
The Falls won by 1, as they played keep away and Cooney wasn't able to foul until 2.5 seconds were left.

Bipolar much, Warthog?
You went from saying you like Terrell and saying he is a good guy, to calling him a scumbag in 24 hours.
Anyway, this thread is about the kids and not about you or your baggage. Welcome to my ignore list.

He was a good guy. He fell into a bad gig I guess.

They did but it was sequential
Knock it off. They could be part of the Scoop community, and it was a long time ago.
