Yup, like I said, I’m chugging the same kool aid with respect to LukeBDL wrote:When a coach who has coached Steph Curry states that he thinks a player has the chance to be on his best ever (as coach said about Luke) thats pretty credible.CatsUpNorth wrote:Recruiting services are often misleading in trying to sell a guy and over exaggerate things, especially with measurements.

The best way to get a realistic sense of these guys is to watch available game tape, but it's hard to find the time and it's not available for every prospect. If you do have the time, you can watch MJ, NBY and Luka games online, and I can post the links if anyone is interested. Unfortunately with Frampton and DCz there isn't much out there so I'm just chugging the same kool-aid as everyone else (especially with respect to Luke).

So you don't think that any of his comments are attributed to his optomism for the young man or possibly posturing in the A10 to garner early attention to position the team for more favorable post season voting?BDL wrote:When a coach who has coached Steph Curry states that he thinks a player has the chance to be on his best ever (as coach said about Luke) thats pretty credible.CatsUpNorth wrote:Recruiting services are often misleading in trying to sell a guy and over exaggerate things, especially with measurements.

McKillop said he was ahead of Kellan Grady and Grady turned out just *ok*. I'll also defer to the people who watched him practice daily.JustaCatsFan wrote:So you don't think that any of his comments are attributed to his optomism for the young man or possibly posturing in the A10 to garner early attention to position the team for more favorable post season voting?BDL wrote:When a coach who has coached Steph Curry states that he thinks a player has the chance to be on his best ever (as coach said about Luke) thats pretty credible.CatsUpNorth wrote:Recruiting services are often misleading in trying to sell a guy and over exaggerate things, especially with measurements.

Looks like we offered a guard from Argentina, Francisco Farabello. Not sure when we offered it doesn't say specifically, might be an older offer: https://twitter.com/DavidsonMBBRecr/sta ... 9509134342
JAG taking on the T$ role seems perfect, given his rebounding ability, three point shot and general toughness.stevelee wrote:When the word from the staff suggests that Kellan will be the point guard and Luke the shooting guard, that helps reinforce some of these notions.
I look forward to the debate about whether Grady:Frampton:JAG is better than Gibbs:Sullivan:T$.
Bob in the huddle during timeout: "Don't listen to BDL!"
Matt: "Coach, that's BDF."
Bob: "What?! There's two of them!?"
Matt: "Coach, that's BDF."

When teams press us man to man and we are playing 3 guards (as we usually do), we often have the guard with the weakest ball defender bring the ball up and start the offense. In our scheme, the point guard position is easily alternated.BDF wrote:JAG taking on the T$ role seems perfect, given his rebounding ability, three point shot and general toughness.stevelee wrote:When the word from the staff suggests that Kellan will be the point guard and Luke the shooting guard, that helps reinforce some of these notions.

Even in the 70s we would do that. You don't want Towe and Rivers hounding Sorrentino and Falconi--have the guy Thompson's guarding bring it up. And if the chosen defender is a great offensive player it serves the purpose of tiring him out.

As a junior David Roddy finished 4th in the discus and 5th in the shot put in his classification in Minn. Obviously he is strong. He probably has good footwork too.
I saw a "Faces in the Crowd" in SI where a kid won the 100m, 200m, and shot put at the GA state meet. I thought this guy must be a freak. His name was Herschel.
Edit: HW actually won the 100 yard dash and the 220. GA didn't go metric until later.

"We were in the center ring the whole night,'' longtime Davidson coach Bob McKillop said. ''We were not on the ropes. We were not on the mat. We were in the center ring slugging away, and we just ran out of time.''
