I remember Brian Gregory used to do that at VD. I found it strange. These guys are 18-22 years old, not 15-year NBA vets with aging knees. Plus, what future recruit would want to play in a system like that?

I also loved playing against it because it always felt like no one was able to get into a rhythm. I’m sure there are better ways to do it than how he did it, but given how much I liked playing against it I can’t say I’d be excited to see it employed.

I don't follow the recruiting nearly as much as many of you. I was under the impression that the center from Ok State (Garrison) was visiting this weekend. Is that correct?

I agree. I hope the addition of the new guards does not have him reconsider his options. He should have a great future .

Who knows. This kind of tall is all speculation. Powell could step in and be a significant contributor right away. It could just come down to how quickly and how well he can adjust to the speed of the college game.

Sure. But from the guys who see miller almost if not every day and miller himself, they have basically said in so many words to not expect much contribution this year.

I see xuperman said Derrick brown.. sure but we heard about how incredible brown was for an entire year, just like blueitt. We aren’t hearing that about Powell. I’m sure Powell can be a great player, but I’m going off of what the guys around miller and the team have said.

Wasn’t Brown redshirted, or am I having an episode?

Correct and during that whole year I remember hearing almost every day how good he was.

I dunno if it’s really even a thing anymore unless there is an injury but I do wonder what if Powell redshirted? Just curious

Ahhh, gotcha. I thought you were referring to the year leading up to his arrival on campus.

Incidentally, Aden Holloway is transferring from Auburn to Alabama; former MDAA. That’s gotta sting.

Avila to SLU, as expected
