If you don't like it don't read, this what message boards are for or is it only when you put an opinion out.

How would I not like it if I don't read it? But seriously Melrock, don't you find it a bit premature to label a kid as such when we haven't seen him play in a meaningful game?

Fair enough, not enough sleep last night.

I bring it up because too many people missed out on watching Elfrid play because for what reason they did not like Marlin or didn't think these kids could play. As much as I love Elfrid this is going to be a better "team" and it is time for people to get behind them. I was one the guys that lived out of town during the Jesse era but still bought 4 season tickets for years. Marlin is doing it the right way and now he is winning. Not speaking to you on this point but NO MORE EXCUSE get out and support this team.

Fair enough and I agree. My biggest criticism on Marlin was his inability to bring in good high school players and just recruit in general. It appears that he may be debunking that a bit with some quality young players that he is bringing in. There is no debating his in game coaching skills and I too, hope that we generate more excitement. I did not buy season tickets this year but am still contemplating it but regardless, I plan to be there for a good number of the home games.

Ebonics?

Ebonics?

Nahh. But it sounds like a UGK reference. If that's what it is, I'm impressed.


ETA: UGK is an old school rap group for those of you who don't know.

Despite the first game being Friday night, season tickets will still be pushed for a few more weeks as the next home game after Friday is not until early December. Go ahead and pull the trigger.

I agree that this team could be better than last years team. Seems like we will have a deeper bench. You cant replace EP but we might have a more rounded basketball team. Having some bigger bodies inside will allow SL to get some rest and also to face the basket and stretch the floor. I think guard play is the question mark right now but we have several guys that can contribute.
Its early but if you cant feel confident in your team NOW when can you?

Just by reading Twitter, it sounds like Shawn has stepped up big time to be a leader for the younger guys on the team. He even mentions that he's maturing now. He could be in for a big year for us. I'm excited about his potential.

Hopefully he has really big pockets.
