Re: Drury Panthers

Man times have changed. I used to roll the rubber band off my main news source and scour the sports page looking for SMSU and Drury College summer signees.

Re: Drury Panthers

It looks like Drury has another commit for next year: Malek Davis from Cardinal Ritter College Prep. He looks like a very quick point guard who pushes the ball upcourt and has good ability to create space for his jumper.
Drury's basketball programs seem to get a lot of very early signees.

Going after kids earlier is the trend all across college basketball. At the D2 level, Bellarmine has been getting commitments from kids before their senior year starts for quite some time now.

Re: Drury Panthers

The Panthers will be deep and talented especially at the guard spot. I would love to see them press more utilizing the athleticism they have.
The Lady Panthers lost two First Team All GLVC players to graduation and a third teamer to injury until the second semester I'm told.
They will be very young, talented and athletic. They also have a big girl that can pull the rim down. Hopefully that translates to the court in a positive way.

Re: Drury Panthers

More on Molly's latest recruit:
Holmes was the 2017 Arkansas Prep Female Athlete of the Year following her senior season at Fayetteville High School. She won five state titles in three different sports during her senior year as she helped the Bulldogs to state championships in basketball, volleyball, and track & field and she won individual state track & field titles in the long jump and 4 x 100-meter relay.
Fayetteville is in the large school (7A) class in Arkansas.

Re: Drury Panthers

Drury Women signed another D1 transfer, a guard who wanted to be closer to her family. She was considered the second best player on the North Texas team this past season.
The following is quoting the UNT coach after signing her a year ago:
"Lauren Holmes is a championship athlete, period," Mitchell said. "You name it, she can do it. Her speed, leaping and defensive abilities will leave you in awe. I am so proud of this young lady and all that she has accomplished. There is much more where that came from. Our Mean Green fans will love her personality and spirit. Lauren's hard work and desire for excellence helps her to achieve any goal she sets her heart and mind to.

"Watch out for this gem", she added.

She ended up on the Conference USA all freshmen team last season.
It's safe to say Molly has reloaded.

Re: Drury Panthers

Drury today received a verbal commitment from 6'7" Arkansas 7A All State Forward (and grandson of the Governor) Asa Hutchinson IV

He is a big guy who has a quick shot and is a strong finisher at and above the rim. Looks like he will be a good fit with the returning young athletic core who are a year into Hesser's system.
I would imagine expectations are high for the coming season.

Re: Drury Panthers

Weakest "I overheard" crap my young teenagers won't even pull. Reminds me of another poster besides Silky.

Re: Drury Panthers

Bs. This is a legit discussion. You have a habit of being an instigator and we have your previous posts to prove it. Note the slam on the GLVC and Bellarmine on the USI page. There are many others.

This guy is another Silky. BTW, didn't he say Watson was going to be fired by now?

Re: Drury Panthers

Typical Drury fans and always crying about officials not giving the opponent credit. I was at USI those years and all their fans ever do at Drury is complain about officials every time they lose. Ashland beat you so get over it and move on. USI kicked your butts one year at the PAC when I did student radio and all the Drury fans did after is cry about refs calls and no calls.

Re: Drury Panthers

I'm not sure what other points I'm avoiding, but since you seem interested in the video...how about the call with 2:10 left (tie game) where one of Ashland's player drives to the middle, jumps up in the air and runs over someone - block on Drury? BTW, that was the same official that called both the foul at the end and the technical. The other official out front had a better view of it and he wasn't going to call anything.

Big stretch going from "maybe she should've gotten 2 FT" to "she got 4 FT". Also a pretty big stretch to say that making 2 at the end of the game isn't a whole lot easier when you get 4 shots at it rather than having to go 2 for 2 to put the game out of reach.

Re: Drury Panthers

Even though you avoid some other points you now admit the call on the field goal attempt might have been correct. Progress here. The technical? No basis for that and a bad call.

Re: Drury Panthers

You're right, the fewest FT's an opponent shot against AU this year was 7. However, they do seem pretty adept at not fouling, as they held teams to 10 or fewer FT attempts in a game 11 times this season.

Drury shot as few as 6 FT attempted in a game this season (prior to AU game). They attempted 10 or fewer FTs in a game nine times (but only twice since January 21).

I'm just curious since you looked up game by game stats, how many of those games were on Ashlands home floor?
