Darrian Norris

[bu fan 9]

How is he doing this year? Is he getting much playing time?

[Braves4Life]

Norris has started every game for The University of San Diego this year and has put up respectable numbers. Bradley could certainly use him this year, but I doubt if he would be the answer to all of our problems.

San Diego just got clobbered at New Mexico 75-46, but Darian had a decent game..8pt, 4 asst..
but they are likely to have a bad year -- they can't beat anyone...
their only win was over a D-II, and they will probably lose 20 games..

Darian Norris

Darian is an extremely nice young man. I wish he would have stayed at Bradley, as he would certainly contribute. Nonetheless, I wish him the very best at San Diego.

Darian is a great kid, one of the nicest I can remember talking to.

However, I think he would be fighting for the spot as a 5th or 6th guard, and think his contribution would be minimal. He is a 5'9ish SG who has below average speed, can't catch and shoot, his shot mechanics take about twice as long as it should to get him to the release point, making shots easily blockable, and isn't a good ballhandler or play maker.

That said, he is a fundamental player, average defender, and I bet he will be good at USD where the expectations are currently quite low.

I'm not sure he's quite that short, but nevertheless I agree with your analysis completely

I agree that Darian was a great kid. He is playing point guard for a really bad team. USDs only win (they are 1-4) was against a bad D3 team Occidental College.
He might have helped BU a little, but I doubt he could have played point guard for Bradley.

Great analysis. I agree.

Agree completely with this. He is not a point guard, which was the issue here - he is a 2 guard that wanted to play the 1.
