After attending last night's game, I truly feel we are in the process of building this basketball program back in order. Hilton Magic is a work in progress (let's be honest with ourselves, it has been lost for the past 4-5 years) and it is going to take some time to get back to what it once was. Give it time fans, if any of you are like me, the feeling I got at the game last night was one that I have not felt in a long time. It just felt like we are so close to getting this program where it need to be Remember we are building it back up, it is not BUILT yet. Students great job! Keep it up... There will be some bumps in the road but we are moving in the right direction.
I have been able to attend a couple practices in the new bball facility. Here are a couple notes on transfers:
--Babb and Allen are studs. Both can shoot lights out. This is not a knock on Scotty as he is one of my favorite Cyclones, but he would not be starting if these 2 were eligible. We will have some depth next year at the 2/3 position. Babb reminds me of Horton. Bigger for the guard position but can knock down the open shot when needed.
--Allen can jump out of the gym. Best dunker on the team hands down. Saw him toss it between his legs in the air and dunk (ala JR Rider in the day). Very impressive. Also has a quick release and has been working on it religiously. Shot reminds me of Willoughby's.
--Booker is a physical freak. Dude could be in body building magazines. Just flat out ripped. Has a good shot but also quick ups. Will be a great compliment to Ejim next year.
--White is a manchild. Don't know if this has been mentioned or not but he has HUGE hands. From the bottom of his hand to the top of his middle finger is 11.5 inches. If you don't believe me, just ask him. It is like shaking hands with a baseball glove. He will be exactly what we need down low next year...a force in the paint.
Clones are in a rebuilding time but the calvary is on its way. Stay positive and support this program. Good times are coming!
Go Clones!
