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?

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.

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.

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.

I know you're using some pilot lingo, but the meaning escapes me. Despite my nickname, I'm not a pilot. So please enlighten me.
