It's TKO; but Gold deserves honorable mention for picking himself up off the ground and getting after it in the second half.

Agree.  Our freshman class of Sean, Chase and Ben is going to be really good.  Shaka has said Gold might have the highest ceiling of any player on the roster, but has the most development/work to do.

The more I see Gold, I think he will end being the best player of the freshman class down the road. The two guards are really good and will get better and better, but Gold has a ton of skill for a guy so tall.

Is he capable of putting on some muscle Goose?  He does have solid potential.

I am sure he is going to get bigger and stronger, but hard to tell how much muscle he puts on. Of all of the things I have liked about this season, Gold is high on my list for the future. My guess is we are going to see more and more of him the rest of the way.

He's got really sneaky athleticism, and a good looking stroke.

The best part of your comment is that I can easily insert the name CHASE ROSS in place of Gold.

The more I see of Chase the more I think he's subtly one of the best NBA prospects on the team.
His athleticism is elite, it's already visible that his defense will be elite, and he can shoot.
He's also got that IT factor. Dare I say he reminds me of a poor man's Flash.

I know that's blasphemy, but he has that "lazy energy" and ability for the game that isn't teachable, he's a DUDE as Shaka calls him.
It's a shame that the game is going away from the mid range J and creative mid range shots, because I think that with his athleticism he would be able to score creatively from several spots on the court ala DWade and use his skills to make himself an elite offensive weapon.

On top of that, one of these days Sean Jones will hopefully turn the corner and the game will slow down for him enough for him to be a great college player as well.

Agreed.  I will admit I didn't think much of Gold after early reports.  I love all 3 Frosh.

It'll be interesting. I think Chase has a chance to be a star by his junior year.

Yeah I have no idea who's going to be best. They all have different games and roles.

There will be games going forward where they look like freshmen.

Gold has confidence in his shot...and he's not afraid to mix it up...when he's stronger...he's going to be a player...and MU running a 5-out offense gives teams fits.  He is key to that.

Chase is unreal...when it's his turn to be more aggressive on offense...he's going to be a handful.   I REALLY like that kid.

I'm not sold on Jones yet.  Great kid by all means...he's going to have to compete with Tre Norman for minutes next year.  If he can figure out how to finish the possession when he beats his guy off the dribble he'll be much better.  His outside shot concerns me as well.  Love his attitude, strength, and quickness.

Kolek was pretty good last season, but I love that he wasn't satisfied with "pretty good." He has improved in every way, and he deserves major kudos for turning himself into one of the better PGs around.

It goes without saying that he also deserves to be this game's stud! (But I said it anyway.)

The more I see Gold, the more excited I get about his future. His upside is very high and that is a great freshman class.

Kolek for stud.

Couldn't agree more about Golds upside.  The future is bright but I want a deep run this year.  We have the personnel to do it and we're not getting any bulk anytime soon.  So why not this year?

The bar keeps going higher in my book. Muggs asked me the other day what I thought the ceiling was for this year and still holding out for a few more games. That said, winning a game in March is checking a box and not the goal anymore. The next few games are extremely big, and not hyperbole big. My hope is the remaining mopes will have changed their mind or checked out on posting on scoop.

Yup, exactly right.
As you often mentioned Marquette needed better pg play, and kudos to you for saying that it should come from Kolek.

He was good last year, he's playing great this year. He gets such a big pie of the team that the expectations for him to perform well are so high, and that's not fair to him.

He's showing up and playing awesome though, and he looks really comfortable out there, it's a pleasure to watch

Tyler, and after today's masterpiece I ran some numbers.

He's at 7.94 apg. If he plays in 32 games (the minimum with a BET game) he's on pace to become only the second Marquette player to crack 250 assists in a season (254 pace).

If Marquette makes the NCAA tournament and manages to win a game there and at MSG, TK is on pace to break Tony Miller's 274 single season record.

If Tyler stays two more years and Marquette averages 36 games per year while maintaining that 7.94 average, he would shatter Miller's career record of 956 (that pace would be 1,045).

If TK did hit 1,045 here, he would be at 1,095 for his career thanks to 50 assists at GMU. That would break Bobby Hurley's NCAA record of 1,076.

I once thought of Miller's assist record as unbreakable, like McIlvaine's blocks. TK has changed that thinking.
