Subject: Nice Masthead '66!! and ramblin reptitious thoughts...

This board is lookin' better all the time.BTW, I was thinking about the rotation next season and this is what I see:

Starters:
Denison C
Bailey PG
Perkins SG (although the guards are fairly fungible)
Henke WF (actually the only legitimate "3" on the roster, but this could be Rohe in a three guard alignment)
Neisen PF

Backup Centers/PF in order of PT:
Tibbets-- had flashes at season's end; supplanted Legge and
Borchart in the rotation. Most athletic of returning Bronco bigs
Parham/ Legge-- Tristan's numbers weren't stellar at Coffeyville, but they had 4 or 5 players go D-1 this past year. Rangy and Athletic; the staff is high on him. Maybe a healthy Legge will surprise us and him.
Borchart-- talk about 'what if's'-- well developed offensive skills, moves well without the ball. solid 10-15 foot shot. If he could get healthy and get a chance to get in good shape, he could really contribute.defensively doesn't seem to have very good lateral movement.
Mbanagu is almost a lock to redshirt.
Overall we're in good shape at the PF position, but undersized save Denison in the post; hopefully Tibbers continues to improve and Parham shows numbers aren't always definitive.
Backup guards:
If Rohe doesn't start, my guess is he'll be first off the bench.His back was apparently a huge impediment last year; hopefully we see development from his frosh season. Given the Bronco dearth of PGs and his freshman experience, he'll likely see time at the 'one'.
Brody Angley is the only true point on the team. His football hammy injury apparently impacted him all last season. Strong,aggressive and a battler,his quickness and height will be his obstacles. I wouldn't bet against him tho'.
Rohde, Doughrety can both shoot. Doughrety seems a bit quicker (but I haven't seen him that much) Rohde a better shooter and rebounder.

All in all SCU appears deeper than last year, especially at the 2 and 4 positions, but is thin (literally) at center and at the point. A healthy Bailey and Perkins are musts. I'm still thinkin' 18 wins.

or perhaps that's Knight (as in GU's errol)

Questions .... Questions ... Questions ....

and the Answers??? well let's PRAY to what ever Saint is the patron of Athletic Wellness ... [St. Blake of Gonzaga ... that's for our DonsCentral lurkers ;)]

ah yes ... health ...
Borchart, Rohe, Legge (and Kyle??)

I understand Jordan really suffered last year but the problem has been addressed and hopefully we will see a much more mobile Legge this year.

Brandon's back was also a big problem ... it would be great to have his shooting on track (2nd best FT shooter @ 82.8%)

Scott never seemed to get on track after missing the first part of the season with the broken finger ... seems I remember it being bandaged all year ... I agree it would be great to have him contributing at a higher level ...

as for Parham (6-8 F) he WAS the leading shot blocker for Coffeyville even in a backup role ... so that speaks something to his agressiveness ... and he initially (out of high school) signed with Indiana State -- if the problem was one of focus and attention I think LP can make an impression ... and according to his SCU bio his dad played in the NBA and in Europe ...
(all I could find on the net was ... )
E. Ill. U's -- LANTZ ARENA RECORDS
MOST REBOUNDS .. 24
Greg Parham, Akron vs. St. Joseph's
3/19/75

the name and date fits ... so perhaps that is his dad .. if so perhaps the aggressive/athletic gene is his ...

and could he be 3rd generation ???
any relation to the:
1948 BAA (pre NBA) St. Louis draftee
and 1950-51 NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL LEAGUE
GRAND RAPIDS HORNETS'
Easy Parham F 6-3 200 29 Texas Wesleyan'48
9gms 79pts 8.8ppg


more ramblings ....


18 games is a nice start back up the ladder ... and it isn't going to be easy in the WCC again ... USF is coming back, Gone-Zaga has "reloaded" and may be weakest at the guard position ... (maybe our turn there ... but inside they will be tough)

Pepperdine is going to try again ... and Holton up in Portland is starting to build his way ... USD can't be that bad (and unlucky??) two year's in a row (only SCU seems to have had that problem as of late) ... and we have to go to Starksville, Provo, and Abq ... the backwashes of baskeball boneyards ...

btw: thanks for the prop on the new Banner ... and thanks to those who started and fanned the embers here ...
