KD has got to find some PT for this kid. When I first saw him I thought, "Kid seems like a really raw Ibitayo? Maybe, in 2-3 years, he can grow into a serviceable player if he puts on some weight and works hard." Upon further review - he reminds me a lot of Marcel Boyce. Boyce was the last Zip ever drafted by the NBA (back when there was a 6th round). He was rail-thin, but could jump out of the gym, block shots... he was a great help defender. He was also a dangerous 3-point shooter. Obviously, Boyce's offensive side has no correlation to Olojakpoke. But just as Boyce relentlessly swatted balls back in the faces of future NBA players like Charles Smith and Roy Tarpley, 'poke's combination of athleticism, energy and anticipation is gonna do the same for the Zips over the next 3.8 seasons. Defensively, the kid is a "Freshman Boyce." Olojakpoke's hops are awesome, his help defense and shot-blocking is way better than the next best Zips' historical comparison - Quade Milum. He hustles...did anyone see the block he had last night where the loose ball was kicked-out to the right elbow ...and Olojakpoke sprinted instantly to the elbow and smothered the ball handler? The kid has biceps the diameter of pixie stix, but in limited action he's displayed unbelievably soft, strong hands around the rim. We have a glut of 3-point marksman on our roster. We need someone to play "garbage man," play defense and clean the glass. This kid..."Marcel Boyce Lite"..."Louis Orr Jr."..."Baby Rodman"...whatever you want to call him...he looks like a offensive project. But defensively...rebounding-wise...he's way ahead of where Ibitayo or any similar player was at this time. I look forward to seeing him develop, and seeing how KD utilizes him from here-on-out in 2016/17. He's gonna be a electric difference-maker!

It will be interesting to read any of the upcoming scouting reports on Lane. I think he is probably one of the stronger and more physical wide receivers in the 2017 NFL draft.

TP toss seems pretty popular on twitter.

You left out "hoo-boy". Usually, that is reserved for when the wheels have completely come off.

It was a technical foul which gave Coppin State 1 free throw. Steve French commented that he thought it would be 2 shots. It is definitely worth it for only a potential of 1 point.

Zips get off to fast start in 87-63 victory over Coppin State Saw this FOUR times last night!

He is long and fast. One of the top players in this area! Can player either side of the ball.

I was waiting for someone else to comment on this. My guess was actually that they threw out closer to 200 shirts. Heck, there wasn't even 1,000 people in the Arena when they threw them out, and most people didn't get one.

He does not Fear the Roo

My favorite George quote from the article- "UA’s opening loss to Youngstown State should serve as a cautionary tale for a team that has a tendency to play to the level of its competition." I wonder if Radford and Adrian agree. Dear George- just give me the facts on what happened in the game, etc., and spare me the "insights" and opinions.

George is ON FIRE!!
