Doesn't drive to the hole nearly enough opting instead for unspetacular short jumpers from the elbow when he beats his man off the dribble as opposed to reverse layups or thunder dunks. Coaches will have to work on that! ;-) -
More info on Grant Barnhart...

My apologies if this has already been posted.
Bryce Butler was named D2CCA All American, the only sophomore on the 15 person squad. He was named on 2nd team.
His incredible work ethic is paying dividends.
Congrats Bryce!

Hahahahaha! The Top Secret alternate style is SOOOO Top Secret that it's not even in the playbook!!!!Originally posted by Columbuseer View Post
WLU posters are fond of saying "size doesn't matter"...Wife told me that that is the biggest lie women tell men who lack a "true power forward!"Leave a comment:

Excellent point. Have seen all of those guys make the first pass in the half court set. You just need to designate someone to be looking at the coach on the rare occasion that he calls a set play or invokes the top secret, unstoppable, "alternate style"!

By default, that's as good a top four as any we can muster. If we truly play positionless basketball, why would we need to designate someone as the PG and why would we need to worry about specifically countering a forward oriented team with our version of a forward? Any of the players on the roster should be able to fill any of those roles.Originally posted by Columbuseer View PostLeave a comment:

Opportunities for minutes are increasing at wlu. 2 starting positions open with departure of Patrick and Will.
Guess at Definite Starters
1. Bryce
2. Malik
3. Cmont pg
4. Ben
?------------------
5. ??? If playing a weak ball handling guard oriented opponent, maybe Steve Cannady to ratchet up pressure?
Or Alek West against forward oriented teams?
Dont count out Dante making a push for major minutes. He has a warrior mentality. Could easily see him as pg on second platoon (at least). Zach improved his defense immensely in 1 year. If he continues that trajectory, he could push for 20+ minutes.
Austin was forced into duty early. With time to get stronger, i see him making significant contributions
The open question for me is how quickly can Woodard acclimate to the system? Initially i see him with the second platoon.
Thoughts?Last edited by Columbuseer; 04-21-2022, 12:58 PM.Leave a comment:
