The team started out with ball handling drills, dribbling the ball the length of the court four or five times with the coaches/managers randomly applying token pressure to various players. I hope we don't have to rely on Padgett or Graves to bring the ball up court too often on Friday, they each had their share of balls bounce off toes.
Malik Hairston is officially the shizzy. If a college basketball virgin had happened to walk into AFH today not knowing who was who, he would have walked away saying: "that kid in the navy shorts was incredible." Some things that stood out were his aggressive offensive rebounding and his overall basketball smarts. He NEVER forced anything. He knew what to do when he got the ball whether it be shoot, drive or pass. Defensively, WOW. He came out of nowhere to block a Bahe lay-up -- pinned it against the glass and brought it down for a rebound. Oh yeah, his shot is butta.Malik Hairston is the real deal. He's ready to go D1 right now -- I feel EXTREMELY sorry for any high school kid who has to go against him. Wherever he ends up, look out!- Honk4Tad
Why would people read that? Why would those people have any clue on how to assess a D1 basketball player? I'm glad K-State sites don't have anything like that, though I suppose the old Essex stuff on K-Statefans was nearly that bad.
