  1. Saw Barry play several times when he was with the New York Nets. He was automatic from the stripe. His technique is different than you'd expect as you have to have large enough hands to grip the ball from the front side and not the back. Years ago I watched a video he made about his technique and went to the gym to try it out. It made all the sense in the world as there are fewer moving parts to the motion. When he played, it hadn't been that many years since there had been a number of players in high school, college, and the league shooting them underhanded.

    This was my first time seeing this group of players in person. A few minutes into the game, when Wemer got his second cheap foul, I told my buddy who had just showed up that Welmer easily appeared to be the best player on the court. In the second half, he validated my statement. He is lean strong and shockingly skilled for his size big size. That kid is going to be a key contributor the next four years no matter how many 4*  kids we sign. 

    That guy is a flat baller. I was impressed with him in the Bahamas Tourney last year and more impressed now. He plays so much like one of Duke's bigs that I'm worried a phone call from Coach K might be happening soon. :D

    Only five blocked shots in the stat sheet - I think we had at least 7, given that some of those probable fouls weren't called. Welmer and Johnson had a few in a row in the second half. Oh well.

    Good win. I'll take any win in any circumstances.

    BYU is an excellent team. That will probably be another 20+ point loss. Mika-Haws-Emery are a formidable top three.

    They haven't seen the Elliott Welmer show yet.

    Welmer is a keeper, and Reggie looked good again. Glad to see Roby stepping up. Bishop could be more efficient, but he played reasonably well today. Crawford looks hurt, but still can be a solid glue guy. Johnson being scrappy on the glass and playing some good help defense was a nice surprise. Moore didn't do much, but I still like the way he looks out there. Hines, Gillmann and Neufeld were blah.

    Great coaching today by Ford and staff. Plays worked well and I think they have figured out a rotation, which are two things I haven't been able to say in a few years. So that's refreshing.

    Elliott "The Over" Welmer!!!! That friggin' guy is a beast.
