Captain Kangaroo

I was watching the Patriots post game show last night and Charlies Weiss was being interviewed. He said NFL teams will scout college games searching for creative 2-point conversion plays. In particular he mentioned Boise State having some good ones. Obviously someone was watching the Zips/Bobcats...

Does he prefer football or basketball?

Isn't GW 9-13...good for 13th in the 14-team A-10? Nice 2-point win for the Dukes.

Could Lucas Smith be our leading scorer tonight?

Ivey on track to set the Zips all time record for differential scoring in back to back games. Adjusted or not.

Miami scored 48 in their last game? Ouch.

Outscored 33-12 after a 13 point lead? Ouch.

I recall Jami Bosley going for something like 41, hitting a half court buzzer-beater to beat BG? One of those early "teaser" wins that made you thing Hipsher might actually have something going on.

Like Will, my son is also a Junior at Hudson. They've both played in a school-sponsored rec basketball league over the winter. Will could dunk a basketball last year, as a Sophomore. That alone makes him unique among the local HS soccer standouts. Great shooter, and ball handler. From a competitive standpoint, he has no business playing in the rec basketball league ...he's head and shoulders above any of the other kids. If he wanted to be an all state Div 2 guard, he could do it. He's the best athlete in the Hudson 2019 class. He lists at 5'10", 165. But he's a "thick" 165. Not the typical slender HS soccer player. He's strong. He could easily be an elite HS football running back or slot receiver too. For the Zips I think you'll see a player that is strong, aggressive and does things at a very high speed. Great coordination. Just a gifted athlete that happened to focus on soccer.

I feel old when I see a kid from my son's class committing to a college. Will is an amazing athlete. If he didn't elect to focus on soccer he could be an all-state player in multiple sports.

The foul on Cotton leaping over the fallen BSU player that'd just lost the ball was pretty egregious too.

Yep. Had a "George Thomas Moment", I guess.

No post game show?

Spoke too soon

Yep.

Ivey is awesome.

Utomi reminds me of McClanahan vs Ohio State.

Malcolm heats up at the very end of the half. Will Utomi follow?

Utomi and Duvivier need to start contributing on the offensive end if we're going to win.

Zips playing great D and getting good looks from the 3- line. Just need them to start dropping.

Bought a 4-pack of this last week. Delicious.

The writer needs to Google "Bob Huggins."

For those keeping track - Duquesne falls 77-73 to the Richmond Spiders, whose record improves to 7-13.

I look at Sayles and Kostelac, and they are competing well at the D1 level today. The Zips are never going to get the one-and-done lottery pick kid. So you need to find kids with potential and develop them. Zeke went for 5.1 points/3.9 rebs his Freshman year. Big Dog's first season went 3.8/2.8. Kostelac is 6' 11" and 250 lbs as a Freshman. And he's coordinated. That projects well for the next 3 years. Sayles (healthy) is more polished than Kostelac 1.0, but time will tell if he'll be better than the 4.0 version. When all is said and done, I think both their stats will compare more favorably to Zeke and Big Dog than Sweich, Forsythe and Bardo (loved all three of those guys, but you know what I mean).
