Players We Hardly Knew

[LA_Mustang]

No doubt. I'd take Jarrey seven days a week over Hogg but I'd still like to have Hogg, too. X, I know you're a much bigger fan of Davis but I think LB would've made Hogg tougher and Jank would've set him loose. I guess with only seven scholarship players anyone sounds good at this point.

Other players we hardly knew: Tom Wilson and Harry Froling

and let's not forget "shoot first" Sedrick Barefield who is averaging 11.5 ppg for Utah. He's dished out 20 assists vs 22 turnovers; not a good ratio compared to the guys who do most of the handling for SMU. Barefield is hitting 45% of his three pointers and 80% of his FTs, so you know the guy can shoot

Comparison:
Shake
82 Assists/46 Turnovers as true freshman
91 Assists/35 Turnovers as a Sophomore

Barefield is in his 2nd year of college basketball

and to compare shooting percentages, Shake hitting 42% of his threes and 84% of his FTs. For me it's a no-brainer as to who you'd rather have between these two players

I saw shaq play in a hs all-star game at moody. not sure if we tried to recruit him.

Did Jimmy King (Michigan Fab 5) even give us a look back then?

Or was that during the period where no top player would even give us a look?

[Stallion]

not Jimmy King but a guy named Damion Sweet was collatoral damage to the Ken Pye/Larry Johnson disaster where SMU substantially raised academic standards right after Bliss signed a national ranked recruiting class. I think Damion went to Michigan. There also was a 3rd top recruit that backed out after signing a Letter of Intent. Who was that guy? I want to say he went to Notre Dame

[Peruna88]

Daimon Sweet went to Notre Dame. Had verbal commitment to SMU, but John Shumate (who was on ND staff then) got him to switch.

There was a player (who I can't remember) who supposedly couldn't get admission to SMU due to academics in the early Pye era who did sign with Notre Dame. Might have been Sweet.

Maybe good we lost Vick...

Barefield's line in Utah's 2 point loss at Cal last night: fouled out in 28 minutes, 8 points on 3-8 shooting, 0 assists, 3 turnovers and 3 rebounds

and playing his senior season for the Hofstra Pride, Brian Bernardi scores 10 points on 3-11 shooting in 38 minutes during Hofstra's 73-65 win against Delaware. Bernardi averaging 12.6 ppg and has made 54 threes on 36% shooting, He's also an 87% FT shooter. As a starting 2 guard, he's dished out 42 assists vs 29 turnovers on the season. I'd say that transfer (close to home) worked out pretty well for him.

Have to love a point guard who has 0 assists in a game.

Man we could use that late in the first half and at about 10:00 in the second half every game this year.

I was sitting in Bob Condren's (a former SID at SMU) office one day when
a young man stuck his head in the door and interrupted us by saying
"Do you know who I am" Bob said "No, I don't" to which the young
man said proudly, "You will and soon." He was a transfer guard from East
Texas State in Commerce whose name was fittingly - Ollie Hoops. He
managed to get into a couple of games, didn't do much for us or himself
and was never heard from again. He had been a fairly high scorer at
ETSU.
