Official practice starting today, what are you looking for?

[dasher]

To see how long it takes for word to get out that Marek is a 5 star talent. Our three forwards... though none have ever played college ball... are all extremely solid ACC players. The forwards may be the best part of this team. We will not make alot of 3s this year, like the past couple, but we will rebound w anyone

has he been cleared to play by the NCAA clearinghouse?

 

[reedny]

Yeah, and whether or not anyone sees anything, it's not going to come during practice. He was good all through practice last year until the games started and he wasn't.

 

[dasher]

How can anyone expect anything out of Chukwu? JB obviously sees something but I don't get it. At all.

I honestly don't think he was the guy that we saw last year. He wasn't that bad at P.C..

You are confident he will be better?

has he been cleared to play by the NCAA clearinghouse?

Yeah, given SU's luck (or rather, lack thereof) with the NCAA, I've been half expecting to read a headline something like this: "SU recruit awaits eligibility ruling".

I reached out to Mike and Donna on Twitter for an answer.

I didn't say that. But quite frankly, he couldn't be worse.

Donna posted a quick clip of him at practice. He still looks skeletal.

plenty of skinny guys rebound okay. He is 7'2.

Moyer will be very active and vocal. Let's hope he plays well too and puts the ball in the hoop.

I would like to see him put the ball on the floor, whip out a miniature violin, play a little Mozart, then dunk.

In lieu of that, I would like to see him and Battle be leaders on the court.

Tough for a freshman to lead but he certainly possesses those qualities.

Yeah, I'm just thinking that last year he was quite the cheerleader on the sidelines, and I would like to see that transferred to the court.

I agree. I will tell you this: he plays with a lot of fire and emotion. He has a mean streak too and I mean that in a good way.

But in all honesty looking for shooting and leadership, who's gonna step up and be vocal...

And arms. Look at his elbows, that doesn't look natural at all.
