    I have been on record here as saying that Jared Ridder may turn out to be the real surprise of the class. He could be another Doellman-style player combining size and long-distance shooting ability that will make him very hard to defend.

    Because Ridder was the only guy whose high school graduated early, he was the only one on campus in 1st summer session. Everyone else shows up this weekend. The Ridder story is even better because he was in the Cintas practice gym at like 2 in the morning shooting the 575 shots, then texted Mack who gave him the let's see when you're guarded comeback.

    I love the way our coach interacts with his players.
    I'd have to start right after breakfast to get 575 3's up by 2:00am. I'd need to pace myself, that's a lot of shots. And I think I'd be closer to 8.2%.

    I'm not sure Ridder's game is anything like Doellman's at all. From all reports, Ridder is a spot shooter. Doellman was much much more than that.

    Doellman was much much more than that by his senior year but coming out of high school I'd say that is a pretty fair comparison. Also Ridder does put the ball on the floor a little as well so I wouldn't pigeon hole him into strictly a spot up shooter.

    Remember Tu Holloway workouts?
    If my memory serves me right he weekly put up 10,000 shots. He lived in that gym.

    I have to give WCWIII total props.

    Dude came the furthest for the festivities-all the way from Chicagoland. Many came from out of town, but nobody further away to my knowledge.

    Great job, W!!!!!

    I once tried to get 575 3.2 beers up at Dana's before 2:00 am. Does that count?
