clarkwgriswold Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 I've found the advantage of the game being only on radio. This way, I only hear it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 So far it sounds like the Enrique Freeman show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 They just gave up 43 points in a half to an average D2 team. I guess the nice thing about depth is it gives your more of an opportunity to use the bench for the unmotivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 One of the announcers likes the line up of LCJ, Clarke, Dawson, Marshall and Freeman. They sure are not jelling as a team right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we would have seen him by now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Last year, Akronzips71 hoped Freeman could become a contributor. I thought he'd be company for Scott Walter. Looks like I was dead wrong and that AkronZips71's hope is coming true. 20 points and 18 boards so far. Cam Reece needs to come around. I sure hope the big man on the way in can play as they need the help down low. Edited December 19, 2020 by clarkwgriswold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Freeman is beasting. Good for him. May have a 20/20 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope the big man on the way in can play as they need the help down low. I hoped someone would recall that. This kid has never looked like a walk on. My take (only mine) is that he never had that much experience in organized BB, was just a very talented sand lot player. VERY talented. Needed last year to learn to be a role player on a team. But at 6'7" with a big wingspan and good natural skills, he could be a POY in a few years. He does seem to have all the tools. For some reason he reminds me of Len Paul. Not as graceful, but he seems to have the whole package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Freeman shot 11-14 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 My insider at the JAR has gotten back to me with some notes. Trimble is next to worthless. And this doesn't surprise me after seeing him in action on Tuesday. Riak and X are missed as much on defense as offense, Reece has developed very little since getting to Akron Decent minutes from Clarke but a couple of blown layups Wynn must be practicing pretty well as he fit in okay, seemed to have taken Marshall's spot today. I'm gonna call Marshall a disappointment so far. I'm probably speaking too soon though. What the hell's the story with Currie?? Dailey looked lost again in 1H, but started to play more like he needed to as the game went on, driving and shooting mid range. As for those mid rangers going in.... I love Freeman but there's no reason he should be what he is compared to Reece. That bothers me quite a bit. And once Aziz gets in it'll take him quite some time to get into the rotation. Tuesday could be ugly. But don't get discouraged....yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quite a payout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, that shakes something loose and he starts to come around. I sure wish we could get some info on Currie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to speculate but he must be struggling to keep up in practice or something. And all Trimble has done is take bombs. I have yet to hear or see any other positive contributions. He's shooting from 25' + on most of his attempts. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
