Topic: My Basketball report after the madness....

This may be the most talented team from top to bottom Marshall has ever had.
Humphrey...He didn't practice because of a minor tweaked ankle. But he is huge in his upper body and ripped.
Wilkerson...Looks like he is picking up right where he left off last year. And that is a very good thing.
Baines....He has put on 17 PDS of muscle. And i swear that guy has springs on the bottom of his shoes. He is like a bouncing POGO stick.
Merthie.... He is just getting better every year.
Lutz....I didn't think the guy was ever going to miss in the 3 point contest. He is quick and smooth.
Powell.... Very good Defensive player and very aggressive.
Spann.... He does everything well. He is just a player.
White.... Very good body for a FR at 230.  Good defender and runs the floor very well.
Johnson.... They say he has a 43" vertical. He is going to be a good one at 6-3".
Goode....The big guy has already lost some weight. But if they can get another 25 pds off him , look out. He runs the floor extremely well for his size. But if he could lose 25 more, he would be an absolute monster.
Pena... Big strong 6-5" body for a FR. He can shot it and handle it pretty well.
Pitts... WOW!!!! This guy is a baller. Quick as a cat, can shoot the 3 and penetrate and dish. Does he even have a wekaness?
    I can't believe how good this Freshman class is. The onlty Freshman class i can think that you could compare it to is (Holden, Skip and Curry). But that class didn't have a PG like Pitts. It is all going to come down to how fast and well they can blend these guys together. But the talent is here. And DJ now has the depth to run and run and run. I swear you better get your tickets and get involved because Marshall BB is starting a NEW era.  ;D

+1

Why is this on the smackboard?

[W0lfman]

greenbison is in timeout.  if you havent read any of his previous ramblings you need to and that will explain why he is here and not on the main board.  the guy is a Marshall basketball fan and a Marshall football hater.

I can't believe you would give him a +1.

Wolf i am NOT a ftb hater so don't make up stuff. But i do think Snyder is a complete idiot!!!! He has proved that so far with his braindead sideline coaching and most people out there agree with me. But you have a few on here that would rather just support him to the end, even if it would mean continued losing. The day Snyder leaves is the day i can enjoy FTB again. Because i know we will ALWAYS underachieve with Snyder. If they keep him he will surely win 7-8 games some year. But that is the BEST you will ever see from him. That will be his peak. If that is what you all want 3-9 to 8-4 back and forth, then he is your man. I'll put my money in BB and DJ until i can support FTB again with a real coach. The guy is way in over his head.

what have we underacheived at this year????

it works both ways.  you're putting money towards the bball program and they haven't proved a thing yet.  but you have given up on the fball program and we are at the top of the conference.  you're not making very valid arguments, which isn't surprising.

MINUS PATRICK PATTERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ukblue, what  you think about the game fixing history at uk with the mafia back in the 1940's and 1950's. I wonder if Rupp was in on the deal! I remember Turpin said he took a pay cut when he went to the NBA.
