mrjoelabs Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Nuff said in the title. We saw a coming out party today. My ideal lineup may need a change with the right matchups! this freshman class. Yuri Jimmy TJ and Jimmer....just imagine them as seniors SLU_Lax, HenryB and SLUMedBilliken15 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis_w Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Every game it seemed he got just a little bit better. I say just imagine the rest of this season. This might just be the best billiken class ever. THE LOCOMOTIVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdscott24 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 There have been a couple of games he stepped up big time, and this was one of them. Way to go JBJ! JohnnyJumpUp likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltiedave Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Bell is rounding into good game shape, and he was the first person jumping on a couple of those boards. He is sealing off on the help defense, walling up when defending in the paint, and driving his hip into defenders when dribbling in the paint. For those who jump on Ford and staff re FTs, maybe they can see the outstanding work they have done teaching Collins, Hargrove, Jacobs, and Perkins how to take angles forcing the man with the ball into help defense at the three block in the paint, rather than giving up layups as early in the season. As good as our defense has shown up, our offense has been stellar. Seeing two frosh score in double figures, and a third hang nine dimes on a talented NCAA team, is a program changing event. This class has arrived. Zink, Schasz, Quality Is Job 1 and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketbill Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Sweet assist to Perkins in the first half. As a freshman he is a very good passer. I get then sense he is now playing as a sophomore along with Collins and Hargrove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 As I have learned this year from 3-star, it's matchups. Jimmy Bell against Rhode Island ---- with Langevine, Harris and Walker ---- is agreeable to Jimmy Bell. That was a great game for Jimmy no doubt. Having said that, I can't believe he got eaten up by Mitchell at Umass but those things happen. The makeup of teams like St. Joe's, La Salle, Davidson, and Richmond all play to Jimmy's weaknesses and you don't see him much in those games. Mason will be interesting. AJ Wilson is pushing for A10's Most Improved Player award and he looks it. But the rest of their frontline ---- Mar, Calixte and Oduro --- fit into Jimmy's wheelhouse. Ditto Osunniyi. Jimmy and his classmates are no longer freshmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hargrove was huge again today as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
