    Re: Outlook for the season

    Southern Illinois lost AGAIN. Apparently they aren't very good after all - missing Tatum more than they thought, I guess...

      Tatum was the difference maker for that team. Falker is a very very good player, but I am not sure why people were convinced that he could be the team's offensive leader...

        personally I have always worried more about creighton and superfresh stinett.

        I have no idea about drake but bradley looks good.

        My predictions to valley finish are
        1. creighton
        2. bradley
        3. UNI, SIU, Drake, WSU (who the heck knows.)

        that said:

        1. Jordan needs to start going to hoop hard very hard with all 250 pounds and take off a few heads every night. If he does this effectively we win and he just may well end up in the NBA. If not he is just another Seth gorney.

        He has the perfect role model of how to go up hard in Coleman. Imagine Coleman's power and no fear play inside with jordan's psychic (sp?)

        2. get josten off of point because he to valuable to us as scoring and defensive player. His point guard duties are inhibiting the best parts of his game.


        then we could do some damage.

          I'm still trying to figure out if Drake is for real (along with everybody else, I guess). That frenetic style of basketball seems to cause a lot of turnovers...but they sure are getting it done right now. I'll have to head over to a game after finals to do a little scouting...

            Personally, I would love to see Jordan start to DUNK the ball when he is one foot from the basket. That would show the opposition that he will not be pushed around in the paint and we are going to dominate the lane all night. Just my thoughts.

              the only time I saw Green was during the open practice the team had prior to leaving for Thailand. Thought he looked very physical in his game on both ends. Don't know how that will translate to Valley play, but if he can give us another big body to wear down other teams' bigs, it can't hurt.

                I wonder if he will take minutes from O'Rear?

                  I also would like to see this. If he can start putting it down with more authority it always creates a little mental edge that wouldn't hurt.

                  The addition of Carlton will help this team tremendously with depth and scoring, Green will also help our already solid front court with his size and versatillity, since Koch isn't shooting the 3 real good right now, we need a big that can hit it consistently and Green has got that capability. Just going to be interesting to see what lineups Jake goes with when these two are able to play. Im guessing Reed will take some of Brown and Viets minutes, and if he plays Green im sure it will take O'Rear's minutes. Go Panthers!

                    Dunking can really boost confidence and pump up the crowd. I think what ppl mean when they say they want him to dunk is they want to see a much MUCH more aggressive Jordan. I wish he would grab the ball like his life depends on it and throw it down so hard he risks breaking the glass. If someone gets in his way, let them worry about the consequences.

                    Hopefully he will develop into a big man with the aggression of Coleman yet keep his touch and control outside the paint.

                      I would love to see Jordan get aggressive against Wartburg and UMKC to build confidence. I would go as far as to say I would like him to pick up a couple offensive fouls doing. The kid has the ability to be a beast, if he would just attack on the offensive and defensive ends...

                        Yeah, I think Jordan needs to throw one good elbow in a very high profile, televised game. He needs to throw one that everyone can see, and even get called for it. He should make it a really good one to send a message. Then he probably won't have to throw too many more.

                          It's also a higher percentage shot than a layup.

                            some of you are missing the point. The point is jordan needs to take the ball from his shoulders and put it up hard very hard to the hoop. DUnk it or not depends a lot on his velocity and proximity to the hoop.

                            I am more concerned that he take off a couple of defenders heads along the way. If he can grab and go up very hard without lowering the ball to his waste to get extra momentum he will be in the NBA. If not he is going to have marginal success as a panther.

                            I know this is easier said than done. I know he is probably working on this everyday in practice. Seems like this would be hard to practice because you do not want to hurt fellow panthers.

                            I wish the coaches would just have him relentlessly try this in the games whether he makes the shots at first or not does not really matter. We lose if he misses and we lose if he does not try so why not? What matters is that he gains this ability. Is future bball career may depend on it.

                            If he gets this down like Patrick O'bryan did then we could win big very big.

                                I don't think I've ever seen Josten dunk. I heard the when he was in high school, the first play of every game was an alley-oop to Josten.
