All-MAC team before they graduate WMU

Yeah

I got that.

Neither are currently one of the top five players in their class.

But by graduation, both will be top 10 players in the league.

Wager ?

Emillien I have high hopes for. With some physical maturing could be a really good player. I like Boyer-Richard (50% 3 point shooting percentage is no joke). His red flag is the same as Printy’s. ANYTIME an opponent’s guard has him one-on-one they just take both guys to the hole. Defensive liabilities. Can they get better? I hope. Sure wish Hawk would get out of his constant Bobby Knight “man to man” mantra on occasion. Can’t play it well if you don’t have the personnel.

Quote:Huge failure of Hawkins staff was not signing a replacement for Seth in 2018 recruiting class.

Completely agree. Seth, whether he scored a ton of points or not, kept us in games this season. His mere presence at the post forced teams to make adjustments.

Without him next season is going to really be tough. No predictions until we have summer ball behind us and the possibility of transfers, but if nothing changes in our lineup next season could make this season look impressive.

Getting both in MAC top 10 is probably overly optimistic for a wager.
How about atleast one of the two making All MAC?
Or I get to pick just one?

I'm open to this.

Patrick?

Beer?

I'm hoping that I lose :)

BTW

Still thinking Steve Hawkins "best recruiting class ever"?

Sure, I’ll go with Patrick as my choice.
Beer or similar beverage works for me.

In three years we should know if it was Hawkins “Best recruiting Class Ever”
Would you suggest a “better” Hawkins recruiting class?

Wait three years?

You're softening your position :)

I haven't really thought about other classes in comparison.

But

Based on this years performance (the numbers don't lie)

I'm a ways from saying this is even a "good" class.

And will be VERY happy to be proven wrong.
