Final: Creighton 75 Bradley 58

[SFP]

I like your assessment and you are 100% correct in that we need to land at least 2 big men in this springs class if we expect to be a better team next season.

We need at least one true big, a real 5, that can contribute right away IMO the other player needs to be a baller that can can put the ball through the net. Yes, it would be nice to get two but getting one will be a tough enough.

no - the Red-White scrimmage they played head to head - Fields was scoreless but handled the ball well,
Grier hit a bucket from the arc in 3 tries but Jake had a pretty good all around game

You can have your opinion based on a scrimmage. I will take mine based on him shooting 45% from 3 over the games he was a rotation player against multiple division 1 teams as a freshman.

A David Collins type would do it for me.

Prosser is a disappointment. He is probably the softest big man in the Valley. He would be OK if he were coming off the bench and only playing 10-12 minutes a game.

I get nervous whenever the ball is near him on offense and pray that the other team doesn't single him out on defense.

he - obviously being Grier - so I would be ecstatic if he hits 40% -
Fields hit only 24% from the field and under 10% from 3-pt - so he won't likely be a Walt Lemon-like scorer...

You can have your opinion based on a scrimmage....

it's based on more than a scrimmage - some have seen the practices..but we will have to wait anyway - there's nothing we can do 'til we see them on the court next year

[Future Walk-On]

I have Grier at 40.8% (40 of 9 last year.


Anyone know what happened to OG at FAU?

1st semester he played a lot had games of 27 and 20....then completely fell out of the rotation and didn't even play in 5 games 2nd semester and most were 5 or less minutes of action.

Played 47 (2OT) minutes and 35 back to back then fell off completely to playing 2-5 minutes

Re-watching this game again today, and noticed Geno and Merfeld had an extended conversation before the game. Do they go back a ways?

There is a connection from the past- Steve Merfeld was an assistnat coach and top recruiter at Bowling Green from 1986-1996 under Jim Larranaga. Geno was a star at Ohio University in the same conference, the MAC, from 1993-1997, and was a high school phenom at Cambridge High School prior to that. Geno was Mr. Basketball in Ohio in 1993. I suspect Merfeld might have recruited Geno to go to Bowling Green, but they would also have crossed paths for the first 3 years Geno played at Ohio and Merfeld was at BGSU.
