Zippy87 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Figured I'd share for anyone else curious. Mikal Dawson is averaging 6 PPG in 23 MPG but his shooting numbers are ugly - 5-26 from the field overall and 4-19 from 3. Good kid, hope he can turn it around. Ryan Prather Jr. is playing well early for Robert Morris, starting and leading the team in scoring. He's averaging 13 PPG and shooting a red-hot 67% from deep range. Darrion Baker is averaging 7/2 in 15 MPG for SIU Edwardsville. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see Mike pick up with Marshall where he left off with the Zips! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's not looking good. I hate seeing it - he seems like a great young man and I think part of transferring was trying to get a fresh start and finish his career strong.

kreed5120 Posted November 14 Report Share Posted November 14 He clearly hasn't been the same after the injury. I'm not sure if it's physical, mental, or a combination of both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reslife4Life Posted November 26 Report Share Posted November 26 Watching the end of UD vs UNC where UD needs a missed free throw and tip in, reminds me no one is a better offensive rebounder on missed free throws than Mikal Dawson. Truly a master that I have never seen in any other player at any level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted November 26 Report Share Posted November 26 Darrion Baker is doing okay at SIUE. He hasn't started any games but is averaging 17 minutes/game 7.2 points/game (on .571 shooting - pretty good... but 0-5 on 3's) 5 rebounds/game I still think he's going to be a good one & so I'm still perplexed at his transfer. Has anyone heard any word on what may have prompted his transfer? Amani's development in practice over last season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Amani looked better over time, it's not like we couldn't use another big on this year's roster. It made me wonder if the coaches didn't feel Baker was as good as they originally thought.

I wonder if their "all gas no brakes" vision for this year's squad didn't include Baker like they originally thought. Could be more of a system fit issue vs skill potential. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
