Recruit (1/7)

  1. Its official...as pointed out by billiken fans in earlier posts, you are the biggest doche husky troll ever. That was the single douchiest post Ive ever read.
  2. Wow man...tough words from the anonymous internet poster. I can just imagine you fuming in your moms basement right now. Stay classy bud.
  3. Knew this would be a tough game, but didnt think we would be neutered. Congrats Billikens...you have a GREAT team.
  4. Wow...I have no idea where Dawgishly's confidence is coming from. I’m telling you guys, this Husky team is young, inexperienced and untested. I’m hoping for a win, but as one previous poster pointed out, we have not been a very good road team since.....well, ever. If this game were being played in Seattle, I’d expect a 7-10 point win for the Dawgs. Since its in St. Louis, I’m hoping we can squeak it out in the end. My prediction, 71-69 St. Louis. One more thing, Dawgishly please don’t bring up recruiting Stars in your argument. The best player in the history of UW's program, Brandon Roy, was a 3 star guy. The pac 10 was dominated by Derek Williams last year, a 3 star guy. Stars don’t mean anything, especially on the road against a formidable opponent.
  5. Hi Billikens. I thought I would drop by and share my thoughts on the game and hopefully get some of your thoughts as well. I am really nervous about this game. I’ve been very impressed with your team thus far, particularly on the defensive end. If you can keep up the defensive intensity, UW may be in for a long day. A bit on Washington: This is a talented but very young team. UW lost 3 starters from last year’s squad including their leader, Isaiah Thomas. As with any young and inexperienced team, UW has yet to develop much chemistry on the offensive end and many players seem a bit slow in defensive rotations. As a collection of individual talent, I think UW can match most teams in the country, but they have yet to gel as a team. Under Romar, Washington is a team that likes to run and score in the high 80s and 90s. If they play a team that tries to run with them, they typically blow them out of the water. Conversely, UW typically struggles with a slow down, deliberate half court offensive team, particularly if the team has the athletes and size to disrupt the huskies on D. This team can be frustrating sometimes because they tend to fall in love with the 3 ball. Their free throw shoot is abysmal and could be their Achilles heel in close games this year. Here is a link to highlights form our last game against Portland: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/huskymensbasketballblog/2016772593_video_more_uw-p.html At bit on our starters: Abdul Gaddy - PG - Jr. Abdul is the heady 6’3” pg and the leader of the team. He was 5 star all American coming out of high school (2nd rated behind John Wall) and is finally living up to the hype. He will not wow you with his athleticism or explosiveness but is very solid. CJ Wilcox - SG - Soph. CJ is a 6’5” shooting guard and my favorite player on the team. I am biased but I honestly think he has the best shot in college basketball. He is shooting something like 60% from 3. Terrence Ross - G/F - Soph. TRoss is the most talented player on the team. A 6’6” combo guard/forward, he is projected as an NBA lottery pick after the season. He has all of the potential in the world, but has yet to put it together consistently game after game. Darnell Gant - F - SR. Gant is a Sr. leader. Not a natural back to the basket forward. He is a face up guy with a great shot. A good defender in the post. Aziz Ndyiae. - C - Jr. Aziz is the enforcer. He primary contributions are on the defensive end and rebounding. His offense has improved slightly (he was a stone handed mess last year) but he is mostly a defensive specialist and rebounding machine. Sixth Man – Tony Wroten – PG – Fr. Tony is our prized recruit this year. He is a stud 5 star 6’5” point guard. He can be brilliant at times, but like most freshman, makes stupid mistakes and forces the issue too often. Like I said, I am incredibly nervous about this game. This team has yet to play a true road game and Im afraid they may get punched in the mouth by a good defensive team, lose their composure and start jacking up 3s. Lastly, Romar has always said great things about his time in St. Louis. He always speaks very highly of your university and your basketball program. I’ve been very impressed with the Billikens so far this year and am looking forward to a great game Sunday. Good Luck....but not too much.
