I really hope Vic becomes a huge trashtalker/dirty player/junk it up doberman.  Is only to save him now.

[stobblebobby]

Angel is fast you idiots.

I agree, but he isn't "Denis, I'm going to run a 1 man break" fast or at least I didn't see that Sunday. And it will take some time for the rest of the guys to play off of him on the break.

Really appreciated that in the midst of a thread that made me so simultaneously excited/anxious, this comment made me laugh at picturing Denis flipping pancakes. Just saying...

[kso_FAN]

Seemed like he has great vision up the floor though. Could make up for a lack of speed? Jake had horrible vision on the fast break.

True. He looked to have really good vision Sunday. I still want to see him against better teams; at VTech will be a good measure, and we'll have a really clear picture on how big of impact Angel (and Gip) can make by Christmas.

Watson nancied up all his minutes. Maybe because he's out of shape and hasn't practiced, but right now he's the player most likely to mid-seasoned Frank'd.

Was it just me or the under shirt? I thought he looked soft and chubby!

Frank left him in there a lot longer than I thought he would. 

[CNS]

Watson appeared to flat give up on a few plays.  Both I am thinking of were rebound fights where the ball came low and a couple of their guys and one or more of our guys came into the scrum.  Watson just stood up, let himself get shoved out, and watched what happened.

I can honestly say I haven't seen a Frank guy do that before. 

I don't see Watson playing this year.....like, at all.  He needs to get a off season worth of bounce between Nov and Dec.

Peggy Po's

-Gipson is going to be a load.  His conditioning is bad.  Subbed out three times because he was completely gassed and lacksadaisical on one end, but did not get yanked for some mistake.  He took himself out once.  He played some decently sized bigs physically, but I could see him struggling against length.  He is not confident/aggressive enough about getting a shot in the lane from the block.  Is not establishing himself enough physically, too willing to fade away or throw a little hook without movement toward the basket.  Hopefully he works on this.  On the positive side, he has a very, very polished touch and appears to have some decent skills in the mid range.

-Angel of Doom with a great debut.  Not nearly as fast as I might've thought but a very good first step, very good ball control.  Able to knock down open shots and good distribution.  Very exciting.  Frank praised his diligent shooting over the summer.

-Will Spradling is our rock.  I am astounded.  One thing that must be said: these Mo-Kan kids are Big 12 ready.  Will going down with the injury and going back to the locker room with two Hinkins was terrifying.  His return was much appreciated, but it is still a little scary.  He plays defense, he runs the offense and he has developed an ability to hit shots off screens.  He had a very nice sequence when he hit one just off the top of the key and then later hit a nice shot at the elbow.

-Our tiny dancer had a nice little ball game.  I am very worried about Martavious.  With all the other combos and small-bigs that Frank can Frank around with, my precious is under threat.  Please no.  Please no.  He played a lot of minutes, but this was largely because Rodney had a stinker, Will had an injury and it was a 30 point blowout.  He had the highlight of the game and is overall a very enjoyable presence in nearly every category.

-JO is not the skinniest big any more.  It must feel great.  He is a legit Big 12 7 footer.  He is extremely active on the boards.  He is a defensive presence in the lane.  He has learned how to use his height.  He has some moves in the post and is so long that he can always find a shot.  He doesn't make himself small any more.  I am being very positive!  He is going to get hacked alot this year and if he shoots that poorly from the line it may not be a terrible strategy, but I think he'll get better.

-"looking good Frank" gave him the wink and gunshot and he appreciated/chuckled.  In the post-game, Frank described the team's preparation and effort game being as though it were a regular season game and went on to criticize the students for not showing up.  However, the exhibition feel was apparent in the steve dave resort wear guayabera.

Nancy Neg's

-Jamar being Jamar.

-Rodney played like crap.  It was a little disconcerting to see Rodney struggle like that.  He got yanked because he let his offense affect his defense.  Just had a really terrible game.  Ended up down the bench commiserating with Shane Southwell.  Those two should not have anything to talk about.  Please Rod, don't.

-Victor Ojeleye not sure if this was just a Frank moment, if he took most of Jamar's minutes, if he took most of Rod's minutes.  Not sure if this was some sort of Semi bone getting thrown.  Any way you slice it, it sucked.  I actually like Vic because he seems to realize that he kind of sucks.  His Victor wince face tells me this.  Chris Merriweather or Clent Stewart never seemed to have that level of self-awareness.  Well, make the most of it Vic.  Turn evil.  Start throwing elbows and jawing at the competition.  Something.

-Shane being Shane.

-Omari/Nino.  Oh what hijinks these two will get up to.  I'm kind of hoping Jamar takes him under his wing and tells them all about how to piss off Frank.  Wait, no I don't.  Maybe they realize that there are a ton of minutes out there when people go in to Frank's dog house and start working really hard.  Or maybe they look at the roster and transfer.  I hope we have some junkyard cats in the making.  However, that recipe takes 1 year to bake.

-Tall Skinny guy.  Welp, hopefully you turn in to JO.  No one will really be expecting that, but good luck.

good post. what is your season projection record?

The PA Announcer referring to J.O. as J.O. is awesome.

[pissclams]

The PA Announcer referring to J.O. as J.O. is awesome.

yes, this is true.

also confirmed that omari is lacking a neck of any substance.

also, i didn't really learn anything from this game with the exception that our new floor is screwed up.  i do like the font though.

Pretty much agree. Can confirm that Spradling has one the smoothest shots Frank has coached, though. 

Floor looks as bad in person as it does on the interweb. 

Other thoughts..  Watson sucks and will be kicked off the team midseason with an aggravated eye hernia when he is getting no PT.   Omari is jacked. May end up sucking but if he can bang guards like Dom, Ill tolerate him.  Gipson is good.  Diaz is ?. 

This team will finish 4th in BigXII.  9-7.  Will beat Alabama and WVU.  Another NCAA exit in round of 32.

anyone that ever saw ar-t play, or saw highlights or even just read a scouting report for at least the last two years- "this guy doesn't look like clemente, play like him and isn't anything like him at all in any way".


Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) november 2011 kstate fans (probably combos) - "angel looks a little slower than clemente, imo.  just an observo, take it for what it's worth".

Good post.

[CHONGS]

its the same reason Sprads is the new Henson.

[nicname]

I always thought that being a fast team had more to do with the bigs and wings ability in transition than the PG.   

[SwiftCat]

Maybe it's because I want him to be like Denis 

[DQ12]

He looks like Denny, relatively.  Has some tats.  Plays point guard.  Pretty fast.

Denny jr. IMO.*


*Some may consider me a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) combo.

[AbeFroman]

It's not that I believe it, it's that I WANT to believe it. I guess if he just nails a bunch of 3's I'll call it good.

When frank was saying this team was fast, I figured our point guards were going to be faster.  Since sprads still plays on this team, I figured he was talking angel.  Don't blame me when frank's quotes about this year's team turn out to be as exaggerated as Art speaking about Asprilla.
