I think that the guy that you are talking about is the transfer from Cayuga.  I agree that he looked good - played with a lot of energy.  He might push Caz's starting guards for time once he gets more familiar with what they are doing.

Not to beat the horse to death, but the two periods that Caz won big OCC had guys on the floor that didn't see any time last year and won't see much of any this year.  It wasn't against their starting 5 or even their 2nd five.  When OCC had all of their top guys on the floor (even without Williams) they won every period, most of them close, and the last one by 20+.

Like I said before, Caz does look a little better, and I think that they will continue to go in the right direction, especially if Marshall, Hughes, or someone else can give them consistent inside scoring to balance their perimeter game and take over on the nights that they aren't shooting the ball well.

You might be right with Keuka.  They are tough to predict right now though with a new coach and a lot of new players stepping into big roles.  They might be a team that starts slow but comes on as the season progresses.

I don't know where bballfan44 got his info from, but I saw the Caz-OCC scrimmage.  They played 10 min. quarters, and OCC won 6 out of 8.  Caz only won 2 quarters (both by big margins), and they were when OCC had their bottom guys in.  In fact, OCC's best big guy, Williams from West Genesee HS, got hurt in the first couple of minutes and didn't play the rest of the night.  Caz looks pretty similar to past years, maybe a little better.  Sauer, Marshall, and Hughes all look improved and Marshall did score some, but a lot of his points came against OCC's bottom guys who were giving up half a foot to him.  In the end, though, it looks like Caz is again going to live and die with how well their guards, especially Latendress and Harris, shoot the ball.  They will be dangerous because if they are on they can hang with anybody, but if they are off they don't have a lot of other options.

Caz has gotten better each year that Bowser has been there, and I think that they will take another step forward this year.  Keuka lost a lot of guys, and some of the better teams in the league either left or are on the way out, so it's hard to predict how things will go, though.  Time will tell.
