Incidentally, Curtis Wilkinson landed at Eastern New Mexico University. Best of luck to him.

I assume this is a misspelling. Maybe they were playing a team called the "buzzards"?

Here are some things I have heard about the new players:
Rembert-Good Shooter
Wilson- Great athlete and good around the basket...struggles away from the basket
Woumn-Solid PG..nothing outstanding, but a solid player
Dubose-Hearing he is the real deal. A great scorer.
Walton-Very athletic, but raw. They expect big things from him in a couple of years.

Got to check out a bit of practice the other day. Alumni, your right about Wilson, Walton looks really good, not sold on Woumm and certainly not the hype that comes with Dubose. but its early. Give them some time to adjust. Wilson and Walton develope and we get those 2013 kids, the future is bright. Need a BIG though.

With Dubose, I wonder if it's a mistake to raise expectations by comparisons to explosive, flashy athletes like Courtney and Kemba Walker. I haven't seen him play, only highlight clips. But I am struck by
the use of phrases like "quietly effective" or "silent assassin". I think that he may be a guy who can be very effective, but without some of the flash and dash that guys like Kemba or Pigram brought.

I also remember that my earliest impressions of Kevin Tiggs were that he was not as explosive as I had been led to believe. He didn't try to force things early - at the Bluenanza scrimmage this consummate slasher was content to shoot 3's from the corner. As he settled in, we got to see more assertive play.
