I watched about half of the game and will watch the rest later. I agree with the above comments, especially Alameda's observations about Mickey and Omar. I have to mention that Wayne was terrific on defense which is no surprise. Although I'm not much of a drinker these days, I'd love to join you all and hoist a tall one for internet TV. What a treat to be able to watch all but one of our newcomers this summer! I really like Tim Williams, he is active, not afraid to mix it up, and has a very nice shot. He clearly has high major talent so another great recruiting find by RB. As I guessed, Colin played his way out of the rotation with a couple of ill advised shots but I like his potential. Trey was a starter! I didn't get to see much of his offense yet but he looked solid. He is athletic and his size makes him valuable, especially on defense. Ben was a lot more active underneath than he was last year.

This team is going to be quite good. Although five freshmen figure to get minutes, one cannot exactly say it is a young team as two of those freshmen are redshirts and the three new Aussies are not at all typical freshmen in terms of the development of their game. The point guard is a junior, the best player is a super senior and he is joined by two other solid super seniors.
