murvul couldn't even get 1 vote for the preseason top 25
maybe these guys will earn it this year
tired of watching them ride the accomplishments of past murvul teams
these guys have got something to prove every time they play

There are a couple of new Maryville College players that haven't been discussed on here that will be impact players. They are Brandon McGill, a 6-5 junior from Knoxville, and Felix Torres, a 6-9 freshman from Puerto Rico.

McGill should be ready to contribute from Day 1 because of his skill level and his ability to play the 3 or 4 spot in MC offense. It may take Torres a little longer since Hernandez and Willett are back but Torres could definitely be a force down the road with his size.

Missed the alumni game.

Can't wait for the season to start! Love MC B-ball!!

Its fine that our boys arent in the top 25 grubb,theyll get their chance the first half the season with methodist, centre, emory, averett, rust, AND GUILFORD(south region games)! I think this years team is the best weve had in 3 or 4 seasons and im saying THE BACK COURT IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY IF NOT THE BEST and i would put the big fellas up there too if there was a little more depth. Hopefully mcgill and mav will provide plenty of it! Greg will have to be patient with the guards filling it up but hell be ready when it comes inside. Having the chance to go play the #3 team in the nation is a helluva opportunity and this might be the wrong team to invite out there if youre guilford but it wont matter if they dont take care of business until then! Cant wait to get the season started. SCOTS!

Jack Roberts would slap THE Jackroberts
youth and enthusiasm are great for young players but not posters on this board.
The scots have something to prove and guilford is their chance to do it and we are not looking for moral victories
maybe guys who can't get past the first round of the NCAA tourney like moral victories but the old guys like results

How is the rest of the gsac looking? any word on pc, lc, or hc?

Brandon McGill is listed as a Junior and his last school listed is Central High. Where has he been?

He is a transfer...... He played two years of juco ball at Volunteer State.

mcgill can play but like every player he will have to pick up quick on learning the lambomotion aka the scots offense

it is complex but he can flat out play at this level
Laverdiere
Lambert
Watson
Williamson
Hernandez

thats how i'd roll if i were RDL but they have got sometime before they have to figure that out

Where is JD?

The D3hoops ranking does not really matter. I don't know how a team who brings everyone back from last years NCAA Tournament team does not even receive 1 VOTE forget being ranked in the Top 25!!
The important thing is to win your conference and South Region games. Rankings is for us the fans. Coach has a very good ball club. Very balanced. NO EXCUSES on not getting out of the first round this year.

I believe if they stay healthy and Williamson fills the 4 spot like I think he could, not a doubt on my mind they have Sweet 16 hopes.

They have a strong 10 guys.. Good luck to the Scots.

mattgrubb · October 27, 2009, 11:20:14 PM

good to hear from you killer
now that you are back make sure you smite The Jackroberts, he is a mere wanna be compared to the real jack roberts

I wanna hear things from PC, HC, and LC

GSAC Killer · October 28, 2009, 09:34:50 AM

the real jack roberts is a legend!! Once heard a story he carried Randy on his back from La Grange all the way to Maryville Women adore him!!

scottiedoug · October 28, 2009, 11:15:58 AM

Yo Mr. Grubby!

Is JD missing?

bballlover · October 28, 2009, 05:45:18 PM

OK Grubby one,here is a little taste of PC.I have not seen them yet so I'm not going to give you too much secondhand info.What I do know is they will be a little bigger, a little deeper, and mostly a year older.Thus IMO they should be better.Over.500 should not be out of the question.

THE jackroberts · October 30, 2009, 12:57:36 AM

Word on LC, PC, and HC: Should be an interesting battle for 2nd place. SMITE ME ALL MIGHTY SMITER!

scottiedoug · October 30, 2009, 11:40:14 AM

Stephan Cooper of Blount Today has a preview of the Scots that claims this team is aiming for the Final 4. Not the GSAC Final 4. The implied question from RDL is whether they are tough enough. Too nice, RDL suggests. Any thoughts from y'all Scotswatchers?
