In case you haven't seen it yet,
Samuels, Russell To Compete in European All-Star Tour
Duo To Journey Through France and Switzerland from August 6-15
http://www.kstatesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/080510aac.html
Last summer Jake and Dominique toured Czech Republic and Austria with the same group, the East Coast All-Stars.
Does anyone know any background on this team? It's not a real all-star roster -- there are three players from Div. III Lycoming College on there. How did two Wildcats land on the team two years in a row?
Are there many other touring summer teams like this, with such disparate rosters?
Anyway, should be great practice (and a great vacation) for Jamar and Nick.
-
I have no insight on these touring teams but I think it's safe to say that anytime you can get your guys playing competitive ball in situations where they will be leaders of the team it's a great idea.
-
i was wondering about this. seems like it would be a good recruiting tool if the coach could guarantee a trip overseas to do this?

so, these two asshats get to tell our d00ds what to do?

I don't get it. Russell hasn't done jack crap. Why was he invited? :dunno:

It's not an invite thing. The entire roster is full of retards outside of our d00ds. It's just something we make our guys do to get some extra work in since we can't practice. We did it last year too with Dom/Jake. We could send OJ if we wanted to.
-
Last years squad had some pretty decent dudes on it. Except that dood from KU. He turned out to be pretty horrible.

You can tell that Frank is doing more than drawing names out of a hat. He's sending guys over who are going to have an increased leadership role the next season.

you can tell that based on martin sending sutton last year and kicking him off the team this year?

He's sending players who are going to be relied more upon the next season. In the case of Sutton, he obviously didn't fulfill what Martin and others expected of him (at least off the court) and was thrown off.
We all know that Samuels will be a bigger cog in next years team. That he sent Russell along with him should tell you something.

what does snyder taking off his glasses at the media thing mean, again? that he likes the fball team but doesn't want anyone to know? or something like that.

Thanks for clearing that up. Was getting excited that the person who chose the players knew something about Nick that we didn't. Kinda like when J-Mart said the coaching staff loves Russell. We should've sent Omari with his bum ankle. ;)

Good point. I'm kind of living for the now. I also meant that I don't see Nick as the point this year. He could be ready after Pullen leaves imo. No matter who we get we will likely take a hit when Pullen leaves.

I dunno though, this story from K-State Sports says the first game was nearly sold out:
Despite a game-high 23 points from Kansas State sophomore Nick Russell, the East Coast All-Stars dropped the opener of their nine-day tour of Europe with a 92-80 loss to the Swiss National Team on Sunday before a crowd of nearly 7,000 fans.
So either:
1) This isn't a picture of the ECAS vs Swiss game, or
2) The first game was public, the second one wasn't, or
3) KSU Sports got their facts wrong.
Still think #1 is most likely.

The second game was at 9 a.m.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda...
Junior forward Jamar Samuels blocked a game-high five shots to go with game-tying 14 points, as the East Coast All-Stars remained winless on their nine-day European trip with a 104-85 loss to the Tunisian National Team on Wednesday night.
But Tunisia is better than Switzerland -- Tunisia is 43rd in the FIBA rankings, whereas the Swiss don't show up in the top 75.

K-State Sports Extra
Samuels, Russell Enjoy European Trip
August 28, 2010
By Mark Janssen
Jamar Samuels at center and Nick Russell at the power-forward?
That's what it was for the East Coast All-Stars earlier this month as they traveled through Switzerland and France playing a five-game series.
The USA entry went just 1-4, losing to Switzerland, 92-80, to the Swiss National team, 96-91, and dropping a contest to the Tunisian Nationals, 104-85 and 111-85. The lone win came over the Paris Select team, 100-73.
"We couldn't get a win to save our lives," said Samuels, "but it was all for the experience."
To those scores and the 1-4 record, the Wildcats said, it would have been a 5-0 record had it been Team Wildcats making the trip.
"I was missing my K-State teammates in those games. I was thinking, `Man, we would have beaten these guys by 30'," said Samuels, a 6-foot-7 junior. "We would have been 5-0 ... easily. Throw in that Frank Martin face ... 5-0, easily."
Russell, a 6-4 sophomore from Duncanville, Texas, totally agreed with his teammate.
"Easily 5-0. With the chemistry we have at Kansas State and the incredible bond that we have ... we easily would have been 5-0."
Samuels' top game was a 24-point effort against the Swiss Nationals, plus he averaged 15-plus points per game. Russell netted 23 in the opener against Switzerland, plus added 15 against Paris and averaged 12 points for the five-game series.
"It was physical ... very physical," said Samuels, who said he got intentially punched in the mouth in one of the games. "You get away with a lot of stuff. I pray to God that I won't have to go into some type of league like that."
Samuels said the game helped his ball handling, plus he averaged four to five blocked shots per game.
While playing center nearly all of the time, the Washington, D.C., native said it was an opportunity for part of his game to grow.
"Coach told me that when I get a rebound to just push it," said Samuels. "Whoever got the rebound just went. We were playing like Missouri."
On Russell's game, Samuel said, "He got better. At times, he was guarding a 6-9 guy working hard to get a rebound."
While not playing a lot of his natural guard position, Russell said, "I grew tremendously. I gained a lot of confidence and just my overall game got better."
On the style of play, Russell agreed with his teammate by saying, "It was very physical; no calls at all, but that got us stronger and better."
Russell added of how the series will help prepare him for the upcoming season, "We were playing a physical game against some older guys and some pros. Instead of coming from high school to college, coming back from there to this season will be a big help."
CATS MEET MONA: Pulling his cell phone out, Samuels offered a visual tour of his European vacation.
"We saw the Eiffel Tower at night ... one of the prettiest things I've seen in my life ... (Pause) ... besides my girlfriend and my mom." Flashing a grin, he added, "Got out of that one!"
And, the players visited the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum.
"I'm thinking it would be a big picture, but it was a little thing," said Samuels.
Russell said he was amazed with the beauty of the Eiffel Tower, adding that he went to the top "... all 43 stories."
And of the Mona Lisa, he said, "It was a very beautiful painting ... a beautiful picture, but they had it behind this big glass case and it was so small. I'd say a 12 x 6 inch picture ... very small."
-
Throw in that Frank Martin face ... 5-0, easily
:love: :love:
This team is so fracking adorable, I have to take my blood sugar every time I read about them.
