Studs

[willie warrior]

Crowder is definitely a stud, and should be starting.

The Ox is a developing stud, and will be fun to watch---best post prospect we have had in years.

Cadougan is not a stud, but is the best ball distributor we will have all year.

OMG Crowder is a str8 BEAST!!!

Crowder is a stud.

Blue is a stud.

DJO used to be a stud.

Cadougan can definitely pass, but he may never reach scoring in double figures.  He can't shoot, even free throws.  And that airball from corner.

Agreed.  He's simply a much better basketball player than Otule.  I'm not ragging on Otule, I think he's progressing nicely, but Crowder brings a ton more to the table at this point.  It's pretty apparent that our most effective lineup, regardless of whether it starts the game or not, is Buycks, Blue, DJ-O, Butler, and Crowder.  It gives away some in height, but Blue and Crowder are both so crafty and instinctive on the interior that they can make up for it.  And their all around skills more than justify major minutes on the court.  When Buzz ultimately tightens the rotation, I expect both of them to be getting 28+ mpg in games that aren't blowouts.

Crowder loos like a LB out there. He'll be a force and someboady will really need to rely on agaisnt teams like Pitt and Cuse.

it says a lot about the recruiting abilities of Buzz Williams that we aren't even mentioning our top two returning players from last season as studs...  Go MU!
