Excellent news, thanks for posting! This will be a very fun ride for your family, for Brett, and for all of us. WOW - 7 feet tall. Willie Reed will be every bit of 7 foot as well. Teams are going to DREAD playing us. People don't realize how rare 2 talented 7 footers on the same team are. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing Brett play yet, but I saw Willie and he will be a force. I have no doubt that Brett will be one our best big men ever when it's all said and done.

Marchetti Towers, indeed.

A year from now one of the best recruiting classes in school history plus 2 returning all conference type guards will be running out of the tunnel and onto the court at a brand new, jam packed, screaming loud, firework exploding, rockin arena. They will be followed out by a future Hall of Fame coach along with one of the best staffs in the country. Chew on that for a minute

back to young mr thompson. i had the impression that brett was not really all that physical. yet i see where in addition to complimenting the already talked about shooting skills of brett, coach majerus is comparing him physically to bill lambeir as well! that is interesting.

Roy I think a lot of that goes back to when he played with the Eagles. Brett was a lot smaller then. He is much bigger now and that is why I couldn't understand the talk of some of playing him away from the basket a lot.

He can hit from the outside, but I think he is a true five.

I know this was posted awhile ago... but here are some amazing highlights from Brett's showdown w/ Lucas O'Rear a while back.

If anyone has any other footage, please share.

Willie Reed as well, I believe this is Nate's footage.

LOL...how I remember that game! :) Brett held O'Rear to 12 pts and O'rear held Brett to 12 pts... lets see, Vienna had somewhere in the vicinity of 20-30 fouls to Nashville's..."5" interesting game...we'll see what they have to offer on Feb 2nd.
