Seeing him out there...I can't imagine he is more than 6'0"Gillon is about 5'9". Howard Washington is 6'1" or 6'2".
He appeared much smaller than Battle.

I was just making an observation...sighBattle is close to 6'7".

I know how to read rosters.
Was it Captain Obvious? probably
But it was the first time seeing both out there in person. The height disparity was obvious and I wondered how it effects the Zone's ability to deny passing lanes and lobs?
I don't really want to admit it, but I think we would be better with Thompson. He'd start in place of Moyer, hasn't really been amazing on defense. And I think with the threat of pine, with Moyer and Dolemite ready to take minutes, he'd have to be more inspired to defend. With Chukwu's improvement and Sidibe, we wouldn't have seen him at center from which I can imagine some of his poor attitude may have sprung.Where would Thompson play on the defensive end? He was absolutely horrible on defense and played with ZERO effort. He’d be ok at the four on offense, but he was one of the reasons we were a terrible rebounding and defensive team last year. I don’t miss him even a little bit. You can’t win with guys like him. There’s a reason why schools were not knocking the door down to recruit him.

I went back and read his posts. They were really not all that bad.Hmm. Oops. Guess he was ready enough, huh? Guess your close friend JB decided not to play OB or Marek at the top of the zone? I'm sure that scenario would be done in an emergency but it is farcical to think that Howard Washington wasn't going to be the backup guard with Thorpe gone.
Oh, and I realize he wasn't very productive but Howard Washington played fine yesterday, considering he was thrown to the wolves. He was cool under fire, took the ball up against pressure and did not turn the ball over. His defense was fine (nothing that would stand out but more than serviceable). If one of his 3's fell, he'd be really getting kudos. Those shots showed self-confidence and none of them were bad shots. Once he plays 7-8 minutes or so a game on a consistent basis, he will be exactly what we need.
I firmly believe JB should not wait until Frank or Tyus are in foul trouble to bring Washington in. Get him up at some point in the first half and put him in for either guard. Make him feel like he's part of the rotation. Washington will be fine off the ball.
On a side note, does anyone else think HW might be closer to 6'1"? He's never looked 6'3" to me.

And HW looks barely 6 imho
I do agree with the strangeness of the opinion. That’s never going to happen, especially given last year. Move Oshae up and lose his rebounding? LolNever said they were bad. I quoted them above in full so people can judge but it’s ludicrous to think JB was going to use a forward at guard over HW. I was polite when he first said that because I’d rather let it play out on the court. It did.
And saying no one on the board is closer to JB than he is?

Eli Hughes says hello again.
Didn't know about the disease he has. That's really tough. He would have been helpful eventually, that's for sure. Heck, he would have been helpful for Kansas.

It’s such a joke...once a week!Serious question. How does he (or anyone for that matter) qualify to play, taking only one course?

What's wrong with that?The graduate transfer thing is such a sham. Let me guess - Geno was taking the same "instructional design" degree program that all SU's grad transfers and fifth-year players have been steered into?

I don't get it. He's unhappy with his playing time so now he's not going to play at all ?
