Oddity Heidelberg is still 3-0 after today. This was a scrimmage for them and a real game for us ?!!!???
So far I feel like we have 7 guys that can contribute (starters-ICL-BC transfer) and we have to play Eli some to give Ayah a break. Come conference that might be our rotation
Donāt forget about Beck. Not sure when heās expected back but I got the impression he could be back soon. But that was a week ago.We need his size and abilities in the front court.
Beck hopefully around conference play. Harrison and Eller getting minutes and hopefully developing is important. Program needs both of those guys to be contributors in years ahead.
Already a bit of beast, Harrisonā¦in terms of presenceā¦
We have the top 6, plus Eli and Harrison.
AMES can provide some rebounding, limited minutes and fouls to giveā¦but needs serious mentor, big man camp to learn positioning and just pace/patience.
Eller is hard to readā¦not unathletic, but not athleticā¦struggled with court awareness against D3 team.
Easy nice winā¦thought it was bit odd how little minutes Eli hadā¦did he get hurtā¦and I missed it?
Add Beck, we have 9 guysā¦Etzler bonus when back.
All things being equal I could see some merit to medical RS for Etzler if the rest of our front court remains healthy and we have a good rotation going. But other factors may come into play (his girlfriend is in STL) and maybe he doesnāt want to stay even longer.
Honestly I have seen nothing from Harrison yet besides nice size- but if we are just talking size I would spend time on Ames- but it is very early- some guys contribute day 1 (Devin Davis) and some guys need some time (Tim Pollitz)
Ames footwork and post moves need a lot of work. After the open scrimmage, I thought he was ready to be a starter, but I saw today how limited offensively he is. His homework should be watching Tim Duncan tapes for at least 1h a day. Need to work on fundamentals.
Nice size and athleticism. Thatās a combo that has been in short supply around Oxford. Honestly, whoās the last non-guard Miami freshman to burst on the scene?
