HUNTINGTON – Day after day, week after week, in the hour or so before Marshall Men’s Basketball practices, Kelvin Amayo was the personification of a Neil Diamond hit song.

He was a solitary man.

Amayo would shoot jump shots from all angles on the Henderson Center floor. Then, when Coach Tom Herrion’s whistle blew to start practice, Amayo anxiously sat and watched.

“It was hard,” said Amayo, whose basketball sabbatical has ended. “But I just knew I had a big goal ahead of me, and I tried to focus to be ready to work when I could. I shot a whole lot before and after practice. I ran a lot. I did what I could.”

This is a nice article on Amayo. I've been hoping it works out for him at the point. This long break between games comes at a good time for him and the team.

Hope he can provide the point guard play we've been missing thus far. If he can run the point, move Kane back to 2, and our bigs get their heads outta their a$$es, we could really turn this season around IMO.
