Title: Freddy Asprilla
Post by: JTKSU on May 12, 2009, 03:44:31 AM
 Dude looks like a Columbian Andre the Giant!  Looks like he's palming a grapefruit.  Can't wait till body slams one of the Morris Twins.

I just like how angry he looks.  We need more anger (and more cowbell) in any given game.   :runaway:

He seems to be an excellent passer and has decent moves around the basket.  Give him a year with Greenawalt and he could be a stud.

And its a good thing that Freddy is used to playing "on the big stage" in front of large crowds.  Will help his transition to the Big 12.

Did you copy and paste this out of a Ron Anderson recruitment thread?

Ron would not have put up the same numbers.

I agree, Freddy has perhaps already proven he is a better college prospect than Anderson, but the things that were said by many (http://www.ksufans.com/forums/index.php?topic=14759.0) about Anderson when he was signed sound pretty similar.

Humiliating to this board that we ever allowed carfan28 to post that much.   :frown:

I hated Ron Anderson when we signed him.  He actually exceeded my expectations.

Definately agree with this.  He had a decent sophomore season, prob. the best rebounder on the team.

yes i remember your anti-anderson smear campaign.  i actually knew nothing about him but decided to defend him and like him just to spite you.   everytime after that when he'd do something good it was a personal victory for me.

I don't recall seeing any video of Anderson. Asprilla is bigger and seems to pass the ball much better than any of our current big men. I would like to see some footage of him running, but it's not as if Anderson could run the court well.

Hopefully will be.  And iirc it was months after we learned Curtis would transfer before we found out it would be to KSU.

CK announced he would transfer on Apr 22, 2008.  He visited EMAWhattan on Apr. 30.  June 18, says it is down to the Kats and the Runnin' Rebels.  SID announced the transfer on July 09.

It's noticeably bigger than a basketball.  If my head was that big, I'd look like that jack-in-the-box mascot thing.
