Any comments on the freshman by those who were there last night?

Wow, that sucks. I couldn't make it tonight but was really looking forward to the rest of the playoffs.

And maybe it was just me but I swear the guys at the scorers' table failed to give Clyde's two points down the stretch during another sequence. I noticed that too! It was one of Deron Washington's baskets near the end of the game when he went to the free throw line. If only it had been Electro-Lite's coach, we wouldn't have had this problem. ;D I think what happened there was that they didn't give Deron the continuation, so it was 1 and 1 instead.

Austin was really good today - nobody on Tombs could guard him, and he could have easily scored 25-30 if he got the ball more (he had about 19 on 8-9 shots). His usual absurdly efficient game. I'd say he was probably the best player on the floor today, and with smarter teammates he would have gotten that title clearly.
Wright struggled a bit, missing a number of easy layups to start - but he made up for it with some circus shots later. He padded his stats with a lot of FTs late, finishing in the upper teens.
Nikita looked pretty good, although this is the first time I saw him, and was also apparently his best game. Showed some good moves and ball skills.
Omar still looks like a mid-major guy to me. Nothing particularly bad about his game, but nothing special either. His highlight was a pullup 3. Even though it was one game I could at least see some promise in Nikita; conversely, I really hope Omar is a walk on.
Macklin started off really well, scoring 8 quick points. Then he never got the ball, and later got fouled hard and reinjured his nose, although he came back. He did a good job of combining multiple fakes on post moves. He still doesn't have the impact on D that I hope for.
Ewing had his worst game of the 4 I've seen this summer, with probably 6-7 turnovers. Did his patented throw the ball off a guy near the baseline to save it move.
Wallace was very good, probably 2nd to Freeman today. Drilled almost all of his set shots, but as usual was a bit more erratic on the move.
Finally, to disagree with Mapei, I thought Rivers had a pretty bad game. He got tons of PT, but took a lot of ill-advised shots and didn't do a very good job of driving and dishing. His shot is as awkward as ever, although he seems more willing to take it - not necessarily a good thing. He is still bad enough offensively that I hope he doesn't need to play, although I'm not sure we have someone to fill his role.

At last night's later game, Colonials vs. Meyers & Alterman, Ashanti Cook made a nice appearance. Did he play? I saw him hanging around on Wednesday night too.

Wonderful stuff, as always. Assuming one wanted to watch Clyde's vs. The Tombs this weekend, would one be advised to get there early to grab a good seat? How early is possible? Don't worry about it - unless you are in a group of 50 Samoans and they don't open the third set of bleachers, you can get there whenever you want.

Apparently we chose Crawford over Campbell. Could you link to the Mason/GW threads?

By my count Crawford had 11, Ewing and Freeman about 19. I'll wait until a recap thread gets started to go more in-depth, but I must say that I thought Gilchrist looked really good.

I'd be very happy with this guy if we knew that he'd stay more than a year; I'm not sure he's good enough to bother if he might go straight to the NBA or stay 1 year max.
The age thing is also relevant with regards to his longterm potential. Some stuff I've read makes it sound like he's already as old as Roy.

Agreed - I think that works very well.

On MDVarsity someone said that O'Connell wasn't playing in any summer leagues this year.

The High School league just started. There is a report on MDVarsity - DeMatha played, but no Braswell.

So your expectations and evaluation of the team are independent? That doesn't make much sense.

Buffalo is being far too negative, I think. All the top teams are losing people, and I think we are better able to replace what Jeff gave us than what Roy gave us - especially when it comes to defense and rebounding. I'm not being too negative, hoyaboy. Let's remember, all the top teams are losing people, but all the top teams are bringing in guys just like III is. Many of the top teams are also returning a few starters like III is. Maybe I'm the only one, but anything less than a championship game appearance next year is a disappointing season considering what G'Town is bringing back and what they are adding. Its just my opinion that until three or four players show significant improvement, that task is going to be (obviously) much more difficult without Jeff Green. And I think its ludicrous for people to be "booking their flights to San Antonio" just yet. Who is saying we are a Final Four lock? I think we will be one of the best 5-6 teams in the country next year, which means we would have a good shot. I expect our players to improve, as they have every year. I expect Freeman and Wright to contribute. I don't think we need any unexpected, drastic improvements/contributions to have a good shot at the Final Four - just normal progress.

In his first season, JTIII played a ton of freshman. Our freshman the next year, to be frank, weren't that good, so only 1 got any minutes. Last year Summers became a starter and got big minutes well before Egerson transferred. Freeman might very well start at some point next year, and at the very least will get solid minutes. Wright's future is more murky, as he has to compete with Wallace, Sapp, Rivers and perhaps Freeman (although he will likely play the 3 next year too).

As for Jeff, the one thing I think we will struggle most with is the loss of his passing. There will be a lot more pressure on Sapp, Wright and Rivers to run things, since we can't run the offense through Jeff anymore, and I don't think Wallace is a particularly good passer.
