This guy deserves his own thread.

As mentioned by CD, he's at lots of wmu home games.

Let's make him a Bronco!

(cmu offered tonight according Steve bell retweet of camp Daryl)

As a Loy Norrix grad, I have seen this kid play.

Special player. He rebounds, he can dribble, he can drive, he can shoot. He is a hell of an athlete and would look great in a Bronco uniform.

Here is the kicker, he wants to be a Bronco...

why would we want a local kid who brings his family/friends to the games? Remember how badly the Ben Reed experiment worked out?

I mean come on...having Klein and possibly Highsmith...we would not have room for more SW Michigan players...too much community interest.

Did you mean to skip over the existing Paw Paw and Gobles guys already on the roster? Both have family and friends at all the home games.

Tell me how the Ben Reed experiment did not workout. Tell me. Because from what I recall, Ben Reed worked out pretty well for us...

I suspect wmutkelaw meant that as a joke

23 points and 15 boards last night for Bishop in a win over Marshall!

It worked out horribly, as seen here:

^ that's my second favorite dunk of all time at WMU

The first being Shawntes' dunk at home against CMU. Sportscenter #1 that night!

Shawntes' sure had some hops!


Edit: (wrong player, sheesh - added a video too)
I don't know that Shawntes' Stane's Bufford was good for much more than dunks... but man did he ever deliver the goods in that dep't. Loved those years of Bronco Basketball!

My second favorite part about that video is the reaction from the bench. I think that's Dan Hess at the end in a white shirt. Not positive, but it looks like him.

And hell, since this is turning into a dunk video thread, might as well post this...

Love it.

Shawntes was a great rebounder at the SF. I wish Hutch would crash the boards like that.

Well he had is own thread for almost four days

I somewhat selfishly prefer this sequence.

The Ben Reed dunk just fires me up. Hell, everything about that C of C game fires me up. I had to watch it on TV and I was screaming at the set the whole game. I know several folks who were there and they all say it was one of the greatest atmospheres at a sporting event they have ever attended.
Ben Reed was special and he was local. Any opportunity to duplicate that combination deserves SERIOUS attention from the coaching staff.

I had to be in East Lansing for some lame job training session that day. ALL DAY. Taped the game and watched it at home that night (on a VCR - ha, so quaint!) and, yes, it was incredible.

But I will seriously never forgive myself for missing that in person. The job sucked anyway. Should've been there...
