Final-
Red 35
Gray 21

[BeBrave]

Shayok looks good.
DS can handle the ball but slow on D.
Lemon is fast and will be able to run the point if he doesn't turn the ball over.
I think Prosser needs to be stronger around the basket if he is gonna play the 5.
Surprised by the skill, coordination, and size of Nate Wells.
DSE will have a big year at the 2.

The team looks very young but very athletic. It would be nice to have seen Taylor play.

Second half recap...
Milos - 3pts
Eastman - 1pt
Shayok - 1pt
DSE - 2 pts
Lemon - Two Handed Slam
Crawford - 2pts
Eastman - 2pts
Hodges - 2pts
Shayok - 2pts
Crawford - 1pt
Wells - 2pts (goaltended by AT!)
AT blocks Shayok!
Lemon - 2pts
Shayok - 2pts

Fast paced, balanced scoring, Lemon high scorer, Crawford makes first 3 in first shot, Thompson agressive, Milos hits a couple threes, all-around good game by everyone.

it may not be 100% right but that's the way I think I heard it

Go Braves

[BeBrave]

Taylor is serving a team imposed suspension.

Is he suspended for the first preseason game too?

[Future Walk-On]

Shayok hit 1 three.

I was most impressed with Shayok (probs because he is a frosh)....did anyone see that coast to coast? Or when Nate got the board under the basket and Shayok was like "give it to me, i'll bring it up."

FOY

Walt is fast

Devon is rusty.

Did PA Paul do both games Public address?

[Bobby Parker]

I was the game PA announcer for both games tonight and we utilized a student to emcee the non-scrimmage activities.

No, I don't think Paul was there.

And I need to add apologies regarding the failure of the live stats tonight. Though the pregame test worked fine, we were unable to get connected to the server during the game. Hopefully the chat element helped, but I realize it does not make up for the issue.

[Big Mike]

Very impressed with Shayok....also think Nate has some value to give this season, the boy is BIG!

[peoriaspitfire]

Quick take: Shayok, lemon and dse good. MK still has a nice shot. I really like Crawford and I think he and SS are a couple of real good freshman. Hodges not so good. I can see Nate not redshirting. He does need to get stronger around the basket, but for a giant he didnt move to bad at all. My biggest concern is PG. I'm really worried about ball handling. Lots of up tempo, but when it wasn't run and gun the offense sure seemed quite perimeter. Only a scrimmage, so I would take anything tonight with a serious grain of salt and probably A shot of tequilla.

[Chibearsfan10125]

During the post game autograph session, a fan asked Geno about redshirting Wells, and he said that maybe they're redshirting him, but they don't have to make a decision until the first game. Just throwing out that they haven't officially made a decision on Wells status for this season.

[Da Coach]

Technically, they don't have to make a decision until the first time they consider playing him in a game. They may hold him out for the first couple games, and if we have foul trouble among the bigs, or if depth is a problem, or if any injuries occur, he can play.

From what I saw tonight, he can help Bradley this year, but he is still a bit raw, and no doubt his skills would improve a lot if he had a chance to redshirt.

[it's boogie time]

There were some encouraging signs and some discouraging things. That seven man rotation that Coach Ford mentioned seemed about right.

If Wells is going to play this year, the best time to get him minutes is in the preseason and the early season games. I can't see someone redshirting with this frontline.
