  • Freshmen lead the way

    Can't wait to see how some people spin the headline today in the PJS. Some people on here have been posting mostly gloom and doom outside of Walt and TP wondering where our help would come from. Well last night might have given us some idea. Great to see JS and SZ step up. I've heard nothing but good things about SZ. Do wish OG would get out of his shooting funk. Hear he's a much better shooter than we've seen. I'm blaming it on the 3 point distance.

    wily - there's no question that the freshmen were given a bunch of playing time and a couple of them did well...there's nothing to spin - they did well...

    Here are our freshman players' stats per the fibastats site, but note that BP pointed out they are not always accurate

    Zecevic- 22:48 min played, 6-14 (42.9% overall), 1-2 on 3-pt, 2-3 on FT, 15 pts, 8 rebs, 1 asst, 2 turnovers, 3 steals

    X. Taylor- 14:29 min played, 1-2, 2 pts, 5 rebs, 4 fouls

    Swopshire- 20:27 min played, 4-10, 2-3 form 3-pt, 3-4 on FT, 13 pts, 3 rebs, 5 asst, 4 turnovers, 4 steals

    I would be happy if they can keep that up but the competition was mighty weak last night - but OK for starters...no spinning - they did a good job.

    I think the key player was Jordan Prosser...he is coming through
    only 13:53 played but 5-6, 3-6 on FT, 13 pts, 6 rebs

    In three games Prosser is 11-14, and averaging 9.3 ppg

      Prosser has played decent the last couple of years in pre season....it's the conference season where he has struggled. Hopefully this year he contributes in a big way

        Love to see the freshmen contributing already.

        Is JP just too nice? He's got the size and the strength but is he missing that mean streak to mix it up in the paint against the other big boys of the Valley?

          The online article has a different title that acknowledges the bigs also made a difference last night-
          BU frosh, bigs lead way in Bahamas blowout


          Nice to see the freshmen get more playing time and shine. The junior college guys did not have as much success, and we'll need more from them. But it was nice to see them having some fun in a blowout.

            Yeah, we've seen this before from JP.
            But I do have faith that he will keep it going this season and not tail off big-time like he has before. I have not been the biggest JP fan (strictly from a fan perspective who wants to win!)

            I'm sure he wants to go out with a bang. I have a gut feeling he might just make more of an impact this season than I thought...in fact, I really didn't want to see him on the court much this coming season to give the newcomers more chances to play, as JP has been given ample time to develop and prove himself.

            Very early, but Jordan's offensive production and rebounding have been a good sign. If he can give us 10-15 quality minutes every night, this could be a big boost!
