Still remember Derek from those great clagget and highmark teams. I’d like to see the video to know what really happened but sounds like much ado about nothing.

I’d like to see the video to know what really happened but sounds like much ado about nothing. Pretty much my opinion on the incident, too. I saw the name and the first thing that popped into my mind was a three pointer he hit. I can’t remember who it was against. The Bills were up big in the final minutes. Spoon clears the bench. The team kept running plays and setting screens to try to get him a three. I think he missed two and then he got one. The crowd went crazy. Don’t know if hit another in his time on the team, but I remember that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Record books say Derek never hit a 3. My recollection is Derek was a scholarship baseball player who got injured and tried out for the basketball team. Played for two years and then played baseball only his sr year.

The game was against Augustana in 93-94. The Bills were up by over 30 with 5 minutes to go and Spoon cleared the bench. He hit a shot, but it wasn’t a three.

bauman Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Besides being a great Billiken BB player, he was a class kid. So was his family. I'm glad to see that he is making some Euros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Played for Gladiators Trier. I was stationed close by and spent a lot of time there. The basketball team wasn't big then, don't know if it is now. Hockey was the biggest sport in the late 80's even bigger than soccer drawing crowds of 4-5k per game in a town of about 100k.

thetorch Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I've researched a lot about European leagues and they still confuse me a lot. Last year Evans played on Ludwigsburg. They finished 3rd in Bundesliga, not too shabby, and qualified to play in the Champions League which they finished 4th. The Champions league would be akin to an NCAA team playing in the CBI, a third tier playoff. Now he is on Ratiopharm which finished last year 10th in Bundesliga. For some reason though Ratiopharm is going to play in the Eurocup, which is the NIT of Europe, the second tier league. Evans may be a bench player on Ratiopharm. They have some good talent, including Luke Harangody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 The Hawks are the team that Cody Ellis plays for. It has some A10 flavor with Rotnei Clarke and Demitrius Conger, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SluSignGuy Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I am glad for Dwayne. In my opinion, he was the best player of the Majerus bunch. He was such a sound player. It would have been great if Cody Ellis was around for one more year. Evans having to play more 4 his senior year with Ellis gone I think hurt his output and opened things up for Jett.

I feel kind of the opposite. Jett in his Jr year was the best offensive player on the team. He was forced to defer to Evans and Mitchell. Jett should have been given the keys earlier.
