This post is for you. I talked with Tim Bond at the game on Friday. He is a delightful young man. I shared with him that I thought he, Raven Lee and Justin Thompson were the best players in the entire MAC at their respective positions. He just smiled and laughed respectfully. I told him that I believe this team could beat Pitt and SMU if they played hard, to their potential and confidently. He agreed and had another big smile. He said there's a battle between Madray and Steele for the starting center spot. Guess this means Thompson is definitely playing power forward like most of us assumed. Finally I asked him when he has his next break away slam he should rock the cradle with the ball (ala MJ) and dunk it ( Google MJ's dunk at NC with coach Smith comments). He gave me another respectful smile and asked where I usually sit so he could point to me after his next dunk lol. Very impressed with Tim Bond on and off the court. Again credit to coach Murphy for bringing in talented student athletes who seemingly are great young men!

Tim Bond is a solid young man. Jordan Nobles too. They both have a sincere appreciation for the game, the doors it has opened for them, and they're never shy about working with kids as a means to give back. If you've ever seen a Rob Murphy Foundation event then you know that they are great with the kids. If you haven't... Take my word for it.
