Man, that kid Foster is something else. Smooth shot - How does a kid from Katy, Tx end up at Santa Clara??? He is only a sophomore. Has a brother that went to Rice and played there.

Hoopmanx - Evan Roquemore, not too bad, he should definitely get better. I guess my only knock on Frog is his height but he's a true PG which we haven't had in years and years.

It's funny, both Roque and Frog had pretty forgettable games. Frog had slightly better numbers. Straight up, Frog is a deficiency closing out in the zone, as any time he had to switch on Foster it was over. He's also a ballsy kid that gets the offense set and moving. I wish he'd had actually shake a little more and get that foul-line extended jumper. End of the half plays, he cracks ankles and gets looks so easily, but only does it then.

I'm happy w/Frog. He's going to start next year, guaranteed. Cotton will play the 2.

yes, both of them didn't play well. I was surprised that Frog missed everything last night.
