I was hoping he'd see the light and redshirt.  Now I am wondering if him
healing in a miraculous fashion wouldn't better serve this team.

Yeah!  I hope it was a "small" stupid thing, like missing a class.  :)

Not a great first half, but very good second half.

His jump hook is real, his jump shot is not.

I loved Max's effort.  I think we are going to be all right in the low post
with the big 3.

Wow, I thought with his "explosive hops" back, he'd look a lot better.  He
was very unimpressive and I am glad he is nothing more than the 4th option
right now at PF/C.

Yea, you could see some potential.  His shot was OFF!


> Field - still shooting that funky shot with horizontal spin - but driving

I loved the name on the back of the jersey: "Field".  Drove about 3 times in
the first half.  I think it will help his game alot.


> Armein - funky shooting stroke, but lightning quick

He is going to help a lot this year.  He can handle the ball somewhat and
take bigger guys off the dribble and shoot over the smaller ones.  I can see
him playing PF in a "4-guard" lineup against some teams.


> Jamaal - steady

Perfect word.  I am pleased he earned a scholarship, and he will provid
decent backup minutes, but the fact that he may currently be the best PG is
a bit disconcerting.


> Meeker - still improving


I love the guys effort and hustle.  He may be the best passing guard on the
team.  It is a shame that I could blow hard and knock him back 3 feet or
he'd see more time.  He will lose a ball in a crowd every time.

I think this team will be great rebounding the ball.  They appear to "get
after it".  I hope they increase their ability to "make shots"!

Tony Bobbitt and Asrangue Souleymane did not play, Huggins said, because "I
didn't want to play them."
