A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
On Thursday night there was a youth movement inside the Thomas Assembly Center as the freshman duo of DaQuan Bracey and Jalen Harris combined for 35 points to help the Bulldogs overpower Florida Atlantic by a final score of 95-69.

Discuss it here.
Much like Skill, I think Harris is going to be really, really good as a sophomore - as good as we are this year -
Watch out, the next two years could be dynamic with the talent Konkol is stockpiling...
We had six players in double figures last night -
Sherman was 1 pt shy and Washington was 3 points shy of being in double figures - that would of been 8 players in double digits
Washington has started to come on to the extent that he might be able to fill some of the void we will have in losing McCree. But Erik can REBOUND, I mean really rebound! I've noticed that Powell is an aggressive rebounder but he is underdeveloped offensively.
I think Washington can rebound - would of had two more than he was credited with last night, but Slim was on a roll...Quote:

On Harris - I wonder where his game would be at right now if 1) he hadn't tweaked his knee and 2) hadn't gotten the flu...
Right now, Erik's rebounding looks to be the most difficult thing to replace when he leaves. However, he grew into and embraced that role this year. Someone is going to have to do the same next year.Quote:

Joniah is getting better and stronger all the time plus his footwork and positioning has come a long way. He's showing awesome determination and wasn't letting anybody push him around last night. Part of that is thanks to the 20 lbs+/- he's put on that's all muscle. Last night he made some big rebounds while scoring 10 pts. Washington and Harris are progressing well too.Quote:

I think we will be fine, but I have waiting on Sherman to truly assert himself. He has everything that is needed to be a DOMINANT rebounder to the tune of averaging in double figures.Quote:

Regardless of his progression, we are losing a 4 and 5. I did not think we had a 4/5 in this signing class so that would leave us with Powell and White only. That would mean a lot of smaller lineups.Quote:

Yes Duruji - he is long and athletic - he has stretched to 6-8 and is tearing it up...
We also have Pemberton waiting in the wings who is more of a 3 -
I don't think we are losing a 5 - White is a soph and Omar is a junior
Totally missed Sherman was a junior. Thought he was a graduate transfer with 1 year left. Wow. Watch out.Quote:
