Man, i just met my girlfriend’s parents and that didn’t go well after she told them I was a minister, after all they are Mormons

I listened to the “Recruiting Roundup” today on WTKA….Sam Webb said that Trey came with his girlfriend, mom and grandmother. It sounded as though Mom and Grandma both enjoyed themselves on the visit and apparently this is the only visit that the Mom has taken with Trey. I would think that this is a pretty good sign for M. It’s kind of like having your girlfriend meet your parents and see how they like each other

Any word on what Zeigler thought of his visit?

Good recap, thanks…my brother and I were there, also. I would reiterate that Morris is a bit too ’street ball’ to be the full time point right now, but it’s easy to see that his passing and penetration could change our offense for the better. His teammates will have to stay awake for creative, bullet passes through traffic or one of them is going to end up with a broken nose. Alternatively, though I’m sure he’ll improve his shot, I’d prefer not to see him put the ball up from anywhere beyond 15 feet at this point. Not very consistent on his form…

All man to man. They practiced the 1-3-1 a little bit before the real scrimmage. Trying people at different spots and such. From what I remember: Vogrich up top and on the wing. Darius up top. Stu and LLP running the baseline. Cronin and Sims in the middle. Gibson on the wing.

Dylan, nice report. do they play 1-3-1 defensively in the scrimmage? Or man?

Being the team jokester is not holding him back. He is a chucker and when he’s hot he can score a few points. He is what he is.

Oh yeah, I completely agree with him not being anywhere close to as complete a player as Novak. I just wish we could get some use out of him. IMO, I think he could be a decent player if he didn’t want to be the jokester on the team. He is little more than a talented rec league player.

Ant is what is he is, a streak shooter as Dylan pointed out. He has games where he seemingly can’t miss from 3 (Illinois two years ago, Oklahoma last year, every open scrimmage, etc), but then he also has stretches where he’ll go 0-12 or something. I love him (and love defending him), but he just isn’t consistent enough to take much time from Novak. The hope is JB somehow catching lightning in a bottle and picking the right spots to use Ant.

JayRich: His skills beyond shooting are lacking behind a lot of the other guys. Novak is a much more complete player at the four IMO.
