TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Basketball is hard => Topic started by: Fuktard on October 29, 2011, 02:09:20 PM

for those of us in fuckin ann arbor for the funeral of an inlaw we've never met, a report woud be very much appreciated. eff. :shakesfist:
-
at least stock up on apples and apple products.

Funny thing is, Sys ain't talkin bout ipads!

Angel showed why he was so coveted. Hit 3-3ptrs, and ended up leading scorer for the scrimmage. He looked very comfortable and confident, and showed to be a true PG. Will is going to have a big year IMO. He's so also so confident and comfortable right now. You just think everything he shoots is going in. Jones is a very quick player, but still looks like he's adjusting, and I would expect to see him off the bench. Martavious is just the odd man out unfortunately. Should get minutes, and give solid contribution when he's in the game, but has others that are just better overall.
McGruder was kind of average today, but average for him is career game for others. Nino had some nice finishes at the bucket, didn't see him as much. Southwell is also playing with a lot more confidence. He could easily play some minutes at the PG, but was putting the ball to floor and creating. Had some nice passes also.
JO looks quite a bit thicker. He's going to challenge everything on the defensive end. Could make a run at setting a new shot-block record for a season. Jamar wore a long sleeve shirt the entire scrimmage, but you can tell he's stronger. Finished on shot taking it to the rim against 3 defenders and got the and one. Also had a couple blocks and was rebounding. Gipson is just a beast. Already very good on the offensive end. Backs his man down and then uses a baby hook with either hand. He should see a lot of minutes as a frosh. And Diaz looked very good also. Thin like JO was his frosh year, but more athletic, better hands and touch shooting the ball. Had a nice fast-break basket where he was thrown a pretty hard pass, caught it and finished. Had the only dunk of the game. And really did a decent job on the defensive end.
Even our two walk-ons played very well. Probably won't see a lot of minutes this year, but could be playing and even start for mid-major and D2 schools.
Wished Watson would have been cleared to play, as he's the only one we didn't see today.
IMO, this team is much better than a #6 pre-season finish. No reason they can't challenge for the title if they keep working hard and mesh together well as a team, because IMO, the talent is there.

Didn't know Watson wasn't cleared. Just the conditioning test?

sys did Lawrence and Southwell play?

did Lawrence and Southwell play?
southwell is mentioned in the blurb i copied, so he did. the poster prolly just didn't mention lawrence because he assumed lawrence was a coach or something.

I think Old Man Strength could play a nice role for us this year.

That bad, wow! thought he would be ready by this. Its early, I guess he still has a lot of rust to shake off.

easy to confuse, what with him having an old man body and all
-
I thought EMAPE played well.
-
Lawrence looks really good. Shot well from the arc. Threw a great touch pass to Diaz on a fast break. He is very athletic and finished well in traffic too.
Agree with the previous assessment
-
good info, trim and gvwc. i hope more is coming.
-
I watched it on kstateo.tv. Not sure if they'll put the replay up. Everyone looked good. Gipson seemed to get winded quick.
Edit to spell gipson's name right. Remember, big GIP fan
-
Trim didn't watch the f-ball game live? Weird. Guess what man of taste and distinction? You just lost your right to say a single negative thing about the program. Douche. old lady douche.

-
So did Gipson look overweight as some have reported?
-
Angel and Omari looked great. I didn't think Southwell looked confident. Maybe with his handles, but definitely not with his shot. Other freshmen seemed to match the hype they were given, but I doubt they contribute too much this year (except for Gipson being a big body).
-
Guys, we are going dancing.
-
confidence rising.
-
I thought EMAPE played well.
Sign worthy? Would enjoy explaining what EMAPE meant to the tucks in front of us.
-
If Gipson isn't nicknamed Cutty, I'm going to cry.
Angel is AMAZEBALLS!
-
EMAPE. might be the best nickname ever.

Yes. I'd like to get it stitched into whichever flag is his.

I like this.

I was impressed with Diaz and Gipson. Diaz had a nice o-board and then putback. Gipson backed down and scored over JO once or twice.
Agree with SYS blurb about Sprads, he seemed much more aggressive in seeking his own shot.

Is Sprad's first step pull back cross over going to result in shots now? Would we want it to?

the replay is up on HD.tv. Gotta say, pretty excited about the 3 freshmen.

Just noticed we have a word filter set up that changes "fa***t" to "man of taste and distinction".
:lol: :thumbs:
-
K-State will try to build off that effort today, when it heads to Omaha, Neb., to take on Marquette in a pregame scrimmage at Qwest Center.
Anyone hear anything from the scrimmage today?
-
From yesterday: Old man went up to the front row behind the bench, and yelled at Frank Martin "We are glad to have you, and you can stay the rest of your life if you want to!"
Frank said "That's the plan!"

what would the basketball equivalent be to what the football season has been so far?
-
The bball team could probably do the exact same thing this year and over achieve to a S16 or something and it would probably be similar.
-

09-10?

I did notice during pre-scrimmage stretching Jamar was favoring his right knee quite a bit... But he seemed to move fairly well during the scrimmage.

Plenty of talent on this team with Angel and Gipson. I expect some really angry post games with Frank in December, a couple of bad losses in January then they'll turn it on in February for a decent March run. Young & inexperienced but talented.

To be fair, BMW is the biggest man of taste and distinction on this board, and on the interwebs as far as I can tell. I can see why he got upset and posted something so tuckish.

GoodmanCBS Jeff Goodman
Yet another little birdie told me that Jamar Samuels was the standout performer for Kansas State with Will Spradling right behind.
GoodmanCBS Jeff Goodman
Jamar Samuels may be the key for Frank Martin and Kansas State. I think Wildcats will know what to expect from McGruder, Spradling.

Martavious is just the odd man out unfortunately.

At Kansas State’s basketball media day last week, I asked coach Frank Martin what each of the first-year guys brings to the team.
“They all bring something different,” he began, “and I know that sounds like a generic answer, but it’s the truth. We don’t have two of them that do the same thing.”
The coach then proceeded to launch into wonderfully detailed description of each of the six new scholarship players. I could paraphrase his comments, but I found everything he said to be interesting and informative, so I’ll just give you Martin’s remarks as he said them.
#42 Thomas Gipson – 6’7? 275-lb forward – freshman from Cedar Hill, Texas
“Gipson’s a 270-pound wide body that’s not scared to throw that big body of his around. He lays wood on you, you know you got hit. Gives us a presence at the rim. He plays with the same aggression as Luis Colon, but has an understanding of how to score a little bit like Curtis Kelly – but doesn’t rebound the ball as well as either one of those guys yet. It’s something that’ll come.”
#20 Adrian Diaz – 6’10? 225-lb forward – freshman from Miami, Florida
“Adrian Diaz is long and athletic and can run. When the game’s up and down, you see his strengths. When the game’s a grind and a physical nature, you see that he’s got a ways to go from a strength standpoint. He’s got great hands. If he catches that ball, he’s going to dunk it. He’s 10 feet away he can shoot it in the basket – the ball doesn’t hit his hand and end up in the cheerleaders. It stays in the court, which is a plus.”
#13 Angel Rodriguez – 5’11 180-lb guard – freshman from San Juan, Puerto Rico
“Then Angel, he’s a consummate point guard. He’s the kind of guy that understands the tempo of the game, when to go, when not to go, he’s a little pit bull defensively.”
[Because of knee problems, Rodriguez only played in games - no practices - his senior year of high school, and had surgery after the season. Now he has to get back into the habit of practice.]
“That attention to that daily focus for practice, that you’ve got to have, he’s trying to relearn that because it got lost in the shuffle because of the situation last year.”
James Watson – 6’8? 230-pound forward – Atoka, Oklahoma – junior transfer from Cowley College
“James is a young man that in individuals has shown the ability to be an outstanding Big 12 athlete. He can jump up and block shots. He can run, dunks the basketball. He probably has had, in individuals, more lob dunks than any guy we’ve had since I’ve been here. Walker would just dunk on people, but James is just athletic. He runs and jumps up in the air pretty good, and he shoots it fairly well. We need him to do what he’s got to do to be able to earn the right to be on the floor, which I think he will.”
[When Martin says, "do what he's got to do to be able to earn the right to be on the floor," he is referring to the incredibly challenging conditioning test - an extended series of timed sprints, I have been told - that players must pass before they are allowed to practice.]
Omari Lawrence – 6’3? 220-lb guard – Bronx, New York – sophomore transfer from St. John’s
“Omari gives us what I call power guard. He’s a 6-foot-3 strong guy that understands – I never watched Omari play at St. Johns. I watched him the summer between his sophomore and junior year in high school. He didn’t shoot it. He’d drive it. He’d finish at the rim. Well, now, after watching him in practice for nine, 10 days, whatever it’s been, he shoots the ball real well, so he’s obviously spent time getting better with that. He’s struggling with our defensive concepts right now, but he’ll be fine. He’s an older guy, and I think he’ll be fine.”
Jeremy Jones – 6’2? 170-lb guard – Chicago, Illinois – junior transfer from Seward County Community College
“Jeremy Jones is fast. He’s the kind of guy that can go get a basket on his own. He doesn’t need help to go get a shot. He can figure that one out. He needs a lot of help on the other side of the floor, but it’s not because of a lack of competitiveness. Like all first-year guys – if we played a 2-3 zone it’d be a lot easier for those guys to learn what we do. Our concepts our different than 99 percent of the people out there from a defensive standpoint, so it takes time for those guys to learn, and he’s competing his tail off. But he brings a speed element to the game. He had a basket yesterday in the open floor where it was Denis Clemente-like from a speed standpoint, but then the difference is that he went up and finished over Diaz and J.O. – Jordan. I don’t know how the heck he got the shot on the rim, but he did. It was an impressive basket because he showed that unbelieveable speed and then the ability to score over size.”

Yep. He was always quite gentle with me. :blush:

He broke the passenger seat of my car. But I didn't mind because he was such a nice guy. We sang the summer dreaming song from greece together with a couple girls at lucky's one night it was great fun. He is also fun to run at and just jump into his arms.

Rebounding is a great deal of effort but there is technique, positioning, and angles that he'll need to learn. It takes much less for a physically superior player to rebound in high school & the grassroots circuit. He'll be fine.

It's cute that Angel and Frank both share knee problems.
