81, the kid has really picked up his game. Yeah, I think you stick Soko and Winters on either side of him with Colter and Jeremiah 2:1 in the backcourt with another legit PF on the bench (Watkins) along with Jerry Jones and Pantophlet and we're in business.

7 footers don't grow on trees. I'm glad Coach Ferry has been patient with him. If he becomes a major piece, it really accelerates our timetable. People have been of the mistaken opinion that in order to run, you need 5 greyhounds. Not true. You can run quite well with 4, if the 5th guy is cleaning up the boards, and can throw the outlet pass.

Abele's problem playing for Ron wasn't his inability to run, it was his lack of quickness on the defensive end. With our perimeter players running all over the court, Abele was going to end up drawing a million fouls when the other team was able to beat the defense. He's a much better fit for this style. Shawn James was the perfect guy for what Ron wanted to do. An athletic shot blocker, who could serve as the last line of defense when teams were able to avoid turning the ball over, and get to the hoop.
