    Moe a walk-on?

    Maybe reading too much into it, but Adam Williams rarely likes tweets from Marshall fans talking about the team, in fact, since he?s been here, I?ve only seen him like tweets from fans that explicitly place the program/university in a positive light. But what did he do yesterday? He likes this reply saying we need a COUPLE more players, well we know we?ve got one, but maybes there?s another. Maybe it?s Moe, maybe it?s somebody else. I?ll take off my tin foil hat now.

    If you want a really crazy theory, they?re waiting for Marko to finish his last class for his degree over the summer so he can enter the portal as a grad transfer since that?s the only way to go now that the portal is closed. I don?t have any inside info on it or anything, just a thought.

  • MEAC has good guards
    Maybe we should have asked for two

    Norfolk State had a really good guard.  May have graduated.

  • wonder why those "good guards" in the MEAC (29th) didn't sign with teams in the 28 conferences that were supposedly better. 
    Sun Belt was 15th.  AAC was 7th.  MT West was 8th.  CUSA was 10th.  MAC was 18th. (Sagarin ratings)

    although there are always exceptions (diamonds in the rough, borderline academic failures, etc) i'm inclined to believe that the majority of the time player caliber is relative, especially mid-to-upperclassmen transfers.  is the MEAC closer to the DII than it is to SBC?

    Some want to attend HBCUs.  It?s real. 
    Norfolk State
    Howard
    Nc Central

    Best teams in Meac.  Have a few Good players.

    Tough %^&*. He can stay as a walk-on if he wants. He can take out a loan for the one class if he wants.

    Keeping him on scholarship is complete BS and why I stopped supporting DD before it was cool to do so.

  • It's funny, Marko is getting an engineer degree and the one class is in the fall.

    I graduated from the school of engineering and know of a handful of people that did co-ops or worked with the admin. to get credit for that "last" class to not have to do another semester (switching cl(@/:; or counting a co-op/internship in the summer as class credit).

    The administration for engineering always worked with us and also helped those people to graduate and with the appropriate credits.

    Wonder if Dan and the coaches have tried that route. Just sounds like another example of being lazy and also not managing the players schedule for graduating on time (heck, a counselor would have pointed this out at least two years ago and each time when selecting cl(@/:; ) for semesters.

    What is up when spelling class_es it changes it to that?

  • So Moe is going to attend SIU Edwardsville of the Ohio Valley Conference not SIU Carbondale of the Missouri Valley Conference? Interesting to say the least. Recruiting might be a bigger problem than I expected.

  • Chuck Landon says look for Kevon Voyles to join the Herd's roster later this week. Chuck said he's a shooting guard who can really shoot 3s.

    Yea I know but we don't have a scholarship to give so he's not coming here

    Have to question his talent level if he ends up at this school

    But his 3 point% doesn't really back that claim. 21%_40%_32% in his 3 years. Not bad the last 2 years but I wouldn't say he can really shoot it like he is a marksman. But I think he was a nice addition because we were in major trouble. Need at least one more to possibly get over the hump.

  • Moe doesn't seem much different than Conner.  we need our slew of 6'8 - 6'11 players to show tangible improvement in at least a couple of categories each this fall.  anything from weight/strength/toughness to rebounding to quickness to shot blocking to shooting % to finishing around the O basket.

    however, with the Handlogten turn of events, it will be only a little interesting to follow their FR years (Moe, Gingeleski, some of the guards we didn't get) to see if any of them live up to or beyond.

  • I don't see us competing with some quality program for kids. Looks like we take the low hanging fruit and HOPE it pays off. I wish I were more confident in the staffs abilities. Make me eat crow DD and staff!

    what would you consider to be the "hump?"  .500?  SBC champ?

    To at least compete for a championship. The SB shouldn't be an uphill battle. I feel we are about a .500 team now maybe. One more really good scoring guard or a really good PG should give us a chance.

    He actually has a YouTube channel where he goes over his day to day stuff.
    Doesn't seem like a bad kid. Did see where he got some technicals during games making dumb decisions (like heading butting the ball after a dunk and talking junk to other players and doing pushing).

    Did read that his dad is a hot head and likes to give his thoughts to the coaches and fans during games and practices. Don't read up on his dad from a couple of years ago....

    Overall, his videos seem okay, he can score from the different levels, is tough, and isn't skinny. From his videos, he doesn't seem that athletic and seems slow moving.

    Yes I saw all of those. But different people were saying he had a lot of "antics". And someone said a teacher of his had said the same thing. Just what people were saying and I have no idea. But there Is a reason he isn't getting better offers.
