jajk, Mumford is on the bench. Didn't play well the last few times he was given minutes. CJ Reid seems to be subing over him, even though they play different positions..Again both are freshmen but it's obvious Reid has the greater upside. Reid was actually guarding #4 of Loyola (their point guard) at times, last game. Seems to be a a defensive player in the mode of Gooding and Costner.


For Loyal, sticking my neck out a bit about Conley since the young man has not set one foot on the floor for SPC. Yet, even if I wrong and he's not quite as good as I project he's still a valuable player. My short evaluation is: At 6'7" plus he has that Big East type of body but also has mobility. Amazingly fast base line to base line for his size. Can play face to basket with a short jumper but I see him more as a 10-15 pt. per game scorer once he gets going.Average leaper but has ups. A bigger, stronger version of Pete O'Dea (for those who can remember) with that same box out ability and smarts for rebounding. Finally, the few times I saw him, Darius did not appear to be a selfish player but set picks etc. and played the team role. How good he is or will be is anybody's guess and it will take time, like any freshman, to fit in. However, it's easier to be optimistic after watching someone perform (see jajk on Bacon) than just reading about the kid.
