Freshman

Postby Terry Webster » Sat Feb 08, 2014 11:50 pm

I am really amazed at the play of the three freshmen. All of them [deleted] away with their poise in a big game. At one time we had three freshmen and two sophs on the court.

Actually Crandall played a pretty good game tonight. Stayed in control, didn't hurt and played Kirkpatrick as well as anyone.

crandall played a very good game. He was on kilpatrick quite a bit and did very well. He is a blanket when he wants to be.

What is cool about these freshman is that they want to be good at defense first. That is the sign of a team that will play with ANYONE.

You guys need to give Crandall some love. The kid is a defensive specialist that plays sparingly. When he gets minutes he is coming in ice cold. That's hard to do and takes getting used to. He is improving and contributed big time tonight.

Props Crandall. Good game my man.

I honestly came away from the game hoping that we continue to recruit "basketball players". Not just some stud athlete that has a great individual game, but doesn't fit into the team concept. Instead, bigs who can dribble and pass, and guards who have a great feel for the game (Brown).

The upside on this team changed significantly when Moreria got hurt and Kennedy stepped in. Such a good passer for a big man, and it really helps the flow of the offense. Doesn't really force anything.

Moore and Brown have obviously taken a massive step forward over the last two weeks or so. If Keith gets that comfortable with his game, this is a really, really scary team in tourney time.

Frazier didn't have a great game, but he looked much better on defense to me.

Next year's starting lineup: Mundiay, N Moore, Frazier, B Moore, Kennedy with Moreira, Brown, Head and Cunningham on the bench.

I still do not think you take Brown out as a starter.
