overall I came away impressed with him.. Since last year he's put on a little more muscle which helped him finish with contact in the lane and convert A few and-1's.. Good finisher at the basket also. It has also helped him with his body control a good bit too. Only watched from the end of the first to the end of the game but he seemed to be playing pretty solid defense too.. His jump shot was decent, nothing special yet but I'm certain it'll improve.. That, to me, seems like the weakest part in his game.. Let it be noted though that in the last 2 minutes of the game he hit a clutch three in transition that helped them push the lead from one to four and ultimately won the game for them. IMO one of his greatest strenghts though has definately gotta be his ball handling.. He is a very good ballhandler and seems comfortable playing the point Looking forward to seeing him in a (real) hoya uniform in the future.. GO HOYAS!!!

Episcopal has a very good guard named Kalipinde who is headed to Loyola Marymount next season, so Episcopal isn't a bad test for him. Seems like he handled Kalipinde - outscored him 25 to 13

Yeah I've mentioned given kalipinde a couple times on this board before.. He's pretty good but basketball isnt his best sport.. Hes not nearly as good at vasketball than he is at soccer.. Anyway Last night those two rarely if ever guarded each other.. So you can't really say one got the better of the other but you can definately say starks' team got the better of episcopal, even if by barely

Heard a rumor the injury isn't too serious. Hope that's true.

Let's hope he goes tomorrow.
It seemed like he was okay during the interview. If he was in agony it would have shown (and he probably wouldn't have done an interview). If there was a thought it was serious, I would think Coach Bryant would have had him seek medical attention right away.
He seems like a really great kid. And oh yeah, the highlight reel was very nice. Loved the pull up. His handle and ability to get to the rack, Nate's nose for the ball . . . .c'mon Roscoe!!!! See what's waiting for you? ;D
