MBB: USA South Conference

[CNU85]

Man, y'all are talking like the season has already started. When does CNU open the season?? 

Nah, you're just spotting everyone a few games to make it a fair fight! 

CNU needs to go 12-6 the rest of the way in order not to have a losing season!!!!

[mybleedinghands]

yeah development and europe good places for mr strong,,, and dont get me wrong,,,, id take 8 of him at SU...... he is just not ready for the likes of the NBA. Hes grown what 4 inches since freshman year, give him a chance to grow skill wise into that body....then watch out.

strong was 6'10", 6'9" at worst, when he got to Guilford...

[obnoxioussufan2]

tell him to take it easy... we open up against each other the 15th at your place i am thinking... cant seem to find a schedule........  hope none of em come back fat and lazeeeeey after the break.....

Merry Christmas. !

I've been waiting for you, obnoxioussufan2. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the master.

See!  I love it when a well-crafted master plan comes together! 

[obnoxioussufan2]

we will soon see how the learned pupil performs.....

coaches talk about his growth spurt.... a kid with his skills was probably shorter when he was recruited though....... else he would have recieved d2 or d1 money. and dont believe what the media guy..... ours prolly says Musa is 6 foot.....

12-5

Dang....just looked at stats of the CNU/CMU game. So many negatives...ugghhhh....We need more than 6 pts from Baker in a game. Davon can't do it by himself! Outrebounded 51-30

uugghhhh

a new guy on roster....got 6 pts put in 12 minutes....will be interesting the rest of the season.

i met ben strong in the spring of his senior year, after his senior basketball season...and he was at least 6'9", probably 6'10" - the growth he has experienced has been on the court, not in stature - if any coach tells you he's grown 4 inches since he's been at guilford, they're simply wrong

I don't know how Dave Walters runs the Sports Info operation down in Guilford, but up here in Lynchburg we require every athlete to fill out a sports info sheet in which they put their height and various other attributes.  That's the height we use on the roster, well unless someone clearly puts a fallacious variable, then we change it, but we've also never had that happen to my knowledge. Before we've actually had to refuse a coach's request to inflate heights on the online roster by a couple inches, because if player A says they are 6'0" then they are 6'0" and not 6'2".

  God i hate it when i type too fast......... BEN Strong is a great player....... not sure he is mr NBA, but very nice.......

I just wanted more love for my hornets on page one !

Shenandoah Wins was the story in the game against Houston Baptist but I think everyone kinda understands that Guilford Loses was the news in that game.

When I was an SID we used the details from the kid's physical. I also tried to resist coaches' desire to inflate.
