3star_recruit Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 This isn't an exact quote but it's pretty close. "Let me put it this way", Brad said, "We have a high dependence on Dwayne Polk. Anthony Drejaj has played the point for us at times but not at the level that I would like. I think he's better suited at the two guard."

cheesycow Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 The Bills are (much like the tigers) going to count on a true freshman point guard? Kind of a scary thought in both cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecCenterRat Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I think Polk is "qualified" ... at least as qualified as a high school kid could be .. his Vashon squad has traveled the nation to play some of the best teams over the past 4 years .. he has held up .. i think we'll be okay .. i actually think we'll be quite suprised .. DP will create more than our guards have this year .. that should aid Reggie .. do you guys think Polk will be able to penetrate on the college level? .. is his knee 100%? .. has he lost quickness?

jjray Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 That's an eye opening comment from UB. Maybe my comment that UB trusts freshmen about as much as a paroled felon was too harsh. Then again, Brad just might think our situation at PG is so dire for next year that he'd play a solid paroled felon from Barton CC ... if we could just get one qualified at SLU.

gister Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Was Brad on for his normal time tonight? I thought the banquet was tonight and that he probably would not have his show. By the way, did anyone go to the banquet tonight? If so, anything to report? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidnark Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 My family and I went to the banquet; Anthony Drejaj sat at our table (he was entertaining). It was my first time attending the event, and I thought it was well-done and a lot of fun. Ramsey did a nice job emceeing. Woolard and the university provost both spoke--and both implied that the arena project was underway. Soderberg gave a very entertaining talk and provided comments about each player, albeit frank and honest comments. Fisher and Sloan shared the best defensive player award. Sloan won the most inspirational player award. Varner won the scholar-athlete award (with a 4.0), and Fisher and Bryant shared the MVP award.

Schasz Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 David, Thanks for the report on the banquet. It was an event that I did not miss when I lived in St. Louis. The awards that you mentioned are all well dserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 While I have not seen DP play, several folks that have say he is right where he was as a Soph which is great news for our Bills. I think that few people will question that we have a player manning the PG that is legit for the next 4 years. Sure he will make some Frosh mistakes but overall I am thrilled that Coach Soderberg is ready to turn things over to Polk next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
