Best Frontcourt
Have we ever had a better frontcourt than right now in our program? I can’t remember one and I remember the Apke era.

Re: Best Frontcourt
Nope. I've never seen an App frontcourt that can ball like these dudes. It's special after seeing some of our frontcourts in the last dozen years.
All they need a free throw psychologist.

Kellen Brand and Donald Sims are the closest comparison on offensive lethality. Brand was a hustler.

Re: Best Frontcourt
Ha you're right I misread that. I'm at a high school wrestling match. But yes we had Jeremy Clayton and he was a 10 and 10 machine. Loved his defense nect to the sometimes defense of Minter.

I go six decades and this front court rotation is just something we have not had until now .

Re: Best Frontcourt
A sharp shooter from the outside that is automatic from the line, we’d be a top 25 team.

Re: Best Frontcourt
Best team overall. Buzz tournament team was good, but that was mostly solid backcourt play. Haven’t seen a Spillers, Huntley or Abson. Shoot, Gregory is the best post up back court player I’ve ever seen.

Re: Best Frontcourt

Re: Best Frontcourt
And Tony Searcy. May have led the nation in rebounding maybe ‘78. Bowser was gone by then but Mel , the SoCon high jump champion was around.

Re: Best Frontcourt
Have any of our 4 losses been due to the free throw shooting? I don't think so. Still need to shore that up. I still think Abson will be more of a force when he realizes how big and dominant he is. He has missed several bunnies right at the basket that he could have slammed but missed off the board.

Re: Best Frontcourt
Oregon State and Troy losses werent DUE TO free throws, but App missed 7 in each of those games. If you added 7 pts in regulation to App’s score, they win both those games.Bigdaddyg1 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 9:29 pmHave any of our 4 losses been due to the free throw shooting? I don't think so.

However, I agree with what I think you’re trying to say; there are some folks on this board completely hung up on free throw shooting.
