AA Statesman On Dogus Balbay

if he is as good as advertised, we will be better then last year. He has to learn to shoot well from the outside. Something DJ was very good at. But breaking down the defense and creating shots for others is going to help us out a whole bunch as well. Returning Damian James, Conner, Justin Mason, Johnson, AJ, and Big Dex.

Plus we're adding Brown (If he qualifies). We're going to shock some people next year.

Torch being passed from DJ to DB.
 
He is fearless. Players say he is not shy of contact and does not back down to it. Not that he fights but that he is a tough player. They also say he is fast as hell and moves well with and without the ball. A comparison two players made was that he reminds them of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli.

Be excited, the players are.
 
Sounds great -- I'm excited. Hopefully 2 things will happen --
1) the NCAA gets its head out of its *** and lets him count the last 10 games of last year towards his suspension
2) He works really hard on his free throw shooting and will be able to hit 70+% next year.

If those two things happen, I think he will be a very good point guard for us next year. We don't need him to be able to shoot from the outside if he can create for others and be aggressive, draw fouls, and hit free throws. The rest will come.
 
We have 9 of our top 10 scorers returning. He won't need to shoot, just get it to the guys who can. This should be RB's best team. Also add Matt Hill, & 2 impressive recruits. I can't wait.

HOOK 'EM,

I've even got my blue Widespread Panic 2001 Spring Tour Walk On tee shirt on as I type this. It has a little road sign guy walking on the front. With the full verse, "Some get stoned, some get strange, but sooner or later it all gets real." WALK ON, on the back

just had to add that little bit
 
If he literally were Manu Ginobili, we would have our best team ever; so, here's to hoping for that.
