I think and hope you're right, jh. If he and others come through from long range we should be able to give the opposing D fits from all offensive positions.

I like Dion & Xavier going on Euro tours, confident this will help both! I think a lot of people are overlooking Xavier. I havent heard much about him but improvement from him will bolster the front line. Dion made a leap from Freshmen to Soph so if Xavier has the skills, he should be able to as well. |

"X" needs some size. I hope he has reached some additional physical maturation and Darren has been stoking him up (without any inapproriate pharmacology of course). He apparently is a good kid also.

Actually, Matt Wright was the go-to 3-point shooter last year. Only a slightly better percentage than Gathers (36.2 vs. 36) but way more attempts (188 vs. 100). It raises the interesting question, however, as to whether the Bonnies will be a significantly better 3-point shooting team this year. Last year's third best percentage from beyond the arc belongs to Andell (22-70/31.4%). Despite his many strengths, Kloof struggled from long range (28-98/28.6%). I'm going to hope that both Gathers and Cumberbatch are better this year, so the question is whether the new guys can match the combined performance of our now-departed guard combo of Wright and Kloof: 64 of 198 for 32.3%. Interesting to see this today. For some reason, I found myself yesterday watching a Vine of Gather's 3 against SLU. I had not noticed it before, but Matt seemed to be expecting the kickout to be coming to him. I don't know whether Kloof's pass was off the mark or if he intended it for Gathers, but it's in the books now. |

Some Posley info - he can easily be the newcomer with the greatest impact - he is very mature and has a man's build. He was the best 3pt shooter on the top juco team in the nation Going into Juco"Marcus has fantastic range on his shot and I expect him to make a lot of 3s for us next year," the IHCC coach said. "He can also play multiple positions and handles the ball well in transition." Juco results POSLEY AVERAGED 13.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and shot 38.2 percent from 3-point range (91-for-238) in helping Indian Hills to a 34-3 record, a No. 1 ranking among NJCAA Division I programs “They (Bona) made it very clear from the start of the year when they started watching Marcus and following him that he fit what exactly they needed, a guy that can come in there and shoot the basketball and help stretch the defense,” the Indian Hills mentor said, “and I believe that’s what he can do. In Juco playoff winThe Warriors turned to their leading 3-point shooter in the second half and sophomore Marcus Posley responded in a big way, nailing four in a row at one point. Posley's six threes give him 83 for the season, tied for 5th in the single-season charts in school history. |
