RUBillsFan Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Roster from the blog. Of note, Pierria Henry from Charlotte is on the team as well and Clark Kellogg is the "Life Coach" whatever that is (Nick Kellogg, Clark's son who plays for Ohio is also on the team).

jimbofive Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Also of note, Evans listed at 201cm or 6'7". was about to say... if he ends up being a true 6'7" 230-235 lbs with his rebounding and inside scoring, and is able to develop an outside shot and a bit more athleticism, maybe he's able to sneak into DAT LEAGUE as a very poor man's kenneth faried.

DoctorB Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Maybe Clark Kellogg can also teach him a few more tricks -- he had some fancy footwork and was really a great college hoops star. Great wingspan and an expert at using his body -- like a kid named Evans. Clark's a good guy and a very approachable, funny, decent, & cool dude, btw....

Just missed double-double with 17 points and 9 boards. Also had 5 steals. This must have been what "JB-hit-the-3" was like at Toledo. Notice that he attempted more field goals than anyone else on the team. He went 7 of 12 (3 of 8 from 3). I think he'll have a breakout year for the Bills this year. I wouldn't be surprised by nearly 10 ppg. He'll probably get some time at the 2, because Dwayne will get the bulk of the minutes at the 3.

This was one of the reasons many of us didn't have a problem with Ellis continuing to chuck up shot after shot. Perhaps this is the case with Barnett. I think Cody being gone opens it up for Barnett to take more perimeter shots and perhaps Loe as well, which will hopefully lead to more success for both.

Why else do you think my tag is "Absurd Bills fan"? (Actually, I changed to that name when several posters said I was absurd when I didn't find Rob Loe's performance in the Nike Hoop Summit three years ago to be particularly impressive.)

Loe played 9 minutes!!!!! You have no ideal how good or bad he will be based on that brief appearance. I guess that 19 of 28 3 pt. shooting performance was just a mirage.

Also, I notice the use of initials had begun by then. I started reading the board in 2006, and I seem to remember pretty rampant initial usage since then. At least of TL (Tommie Lidell), Ian Vouyoukas (IV) and KL (Kevin Lisch). AM, DB, DP, BH sorry Roy, don't mean to make your head spin.

Again splitting hairs, but I think he means he is an assistant coach for the AIA team and is from Saint Louis University not that he is an assistant coach at Saint Louis University.
