Elleby and the Freshman Wall

Apparently it's unfunded. He's not showing any signs of slowing down to me. 38 solid minutes yesterday vs Zona.

Kunc's stats didn't look overly impressive but he's showing that he can be a solid performer in the future, especially if he can pack on some muscle. Liked his grit and hustle last night.

Kunc plays with an edge to his game. He doesn’t back down, I really like his fire and intensity. It is indicative to the way the whole team has played the last two games and gives rise to optimism for the remaining season.

Kunc will be a star during the next two years. He has a great skill set and very good athleticism which was evident in his videos. Of course the naysyers knocked the competition . The cougs and Ernie Kent have done a great job of recruiting the last two years. Nigel John is another potential star in the making, However posters here say that he is playing against uncoordinated 4 '11 posts which is why he averages in double doubles in his games. Certain fans try and knock very talented young players recruited by this staff.Well i hope they continue to have to eat their words. Look for an exciting group of newly recruited players next year. But let s hope the current cougs can continue with their anomalies.

Elleby hasn't hit the wall yet that's for sure but there's still 7 games to go. I don't remember a freshman wing that could impact a game in so many ways.

Kunc has had to adjust and it's not like he's putting up 20 points a game. You can see the upside in his game once he gets more experience and obviously stronger. Great shooting potential, good athlete, long, and already pretty good with the ball. Plays with some fire, confidence, and makes good decisions.

Cannon has struggled shooting but I think we play better with him on the floor. He's brought a lot of energy defensively and rebounding.

John is a great get but also will likely take time to adjust and develop. Regardless, I am much more excited about him than the 5 or 6 JC bigs we recently offered. It's always been tough for us to get a player like John but whether it's next year or as a junior I think it will be worth the patience.
