this is a final four team. donelle made a dunk that even some d-1 player can't make-against sonoma.
I got a question thet list baby elton brand kaleen daniels as 6-6 he looks taller than both kevin and bill 6-7 guys-thoughts any-one kaleen looks 6-7 or even 6-8. |
i place this team as equal to the team three years ago, the one that was knocked out by a Final Four humboldt squad, 86-83, in the playoffs. the 'jacks had to play a virtually perfect game to beat our broncos over at CSUSB and they had two all americans doing just that. both jeff and david were in their junior years and we had the best point guard in years in j. williams, a kid who could penetrate, shoot, and dish with amazing efficiency. i believe had humboldt not been so hot that day WE would have been in the Final Four.
that said, this team has more potential. mike ridgway and guy beahm were our other key big guys then but larry, donelle, melvyn and dion are way more athletic if not as disciplined. if they can polish their games and mature, look out. i see some huge wars upcoming among the conference and regional heavyweights, and luis proved he is tough as nails as a defender when he sets himself into lock down mode.
daniels' game is far more polished this year than last and he's lost some serious weight. he looks 6-7 to me. we need him to stay healthy to provide that important inside presence.
i would suspect that coach will look at different combinations in the vanguard game to ready us for that las vegas tournament. but you're right, this could be a very special year and one that may lead us to the roundball hall of fame at springfield, mass, ultimately.
