now that he has been here several weeks, anybody seen him practice? Is he ripping it up?

his name is Mohamed Faye, and from what I have read in Doh's blog is that he has really helped raise the intensity in practice. I think he is going to dominate next year, and I really can't wait to have a true athletic swing man to run the floor.

I can't wait to see him wreck shop next year. I think it will be awesome.

One of the things I have picked up re: this young man is he appears to be very enthusiastic & leader.

I don't know if he can dominate but he sure will be a welcome addition to conference play next year.

I'll settle for 14 pts & 8 boards per game.

With Roberts and Killen gone next yr, we need a true PG. Stop the turnover madness please.

I do hope this guy can contribute.

There is a left handed pg in Mesquite named Vertail Vaughns. He's a junior. I have seen him play a couple of times & I think he is going to develop into a legit D1 pg. He can handle the rock & create his own shot & he's explosive to the basketball (no more mention of "to the hole" by me anymore

Did that get deleted?

I bet it did.

Seriously? "Vertail"?

I've peeked in on practice, and in my uneducated opinion, Faye is exceedingly impressive. He's tall (6'8"? 6'9"?) and has absurdly long arms. He's fast and handles the ball well for a big guy, and plays low to the ground when he's sailing up the floor. Didn't get enough of a look at his outside shooting to get a feel for how consistent he is, but the kid has a very smooth, fluid motion. He hit something like 3 of 5 outside jumpers that I saw. What caught me off-guard, though, was his speed - kid can get up the floor in a hurry, and I can't think of a single guy in the conference with his size and speed, so it makes me wonder about defending him in transition. Maybe the guy at Memphis (whose name I forget at the moment), but he looks to me like a guy who can cause some real matchup issues for other teams.

Can't wait to see this guy play for the Ponies, especially since he won't be a wide-eyed freshman when he starts - he'll already have a semester of practice under him so he'll know exactly what Coach Doherty expects of him. Again, I'm no coach, but I think he has the potential to be exceptional.
