YSU Penguin Athletics / Men"s basketball vs N Dakota fighting Sioux/hawks
« on: November 23, 2015, 04:51:20 PM »
YSU up 34-31 at half. Had a double digit lead at one point but hawks made a run and it was mostly on 2nd chance shots. We are not good on 50/50 ball(loose balls). Got to limit opponents to one shot.

3 games in three days. I'm going to two of the games and the good news is if you love Handel's ice cream(only one in Florida) there is one just 9 miles south of the college.

YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU vs Kent State B-ball
« on: November 14, 2015, 07:57:27 PM »
YSU down 7 at half. We're getting crushed on the boards and our zone is brutally slow to rotate. getting punked inside.
Matt Donlan has shot the ball well. Slocum needs to have Jordan Andrews and Donlan on the court at the same time. Santiago has held up well at point guard. Bobby playing tentative.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Slocum's press conference
« on: October 23, 2015, 07:24:33 PM »
He said that Hain will be at the four position and 7'0" transfer Jorden Kaufman will be in the pivot with 6'8" Sydney Ulmude the other big upfront. Slocum said this his biggest lineup since he's been here. He seemed excited about Kaufman and I'm suprised since he didn't do much in their summer tour.
Coach spoke about this being a good shooting team at every position. He singled out transfer Matt Donlan as the best shooter and he did shoot it well in the Bahamas.
I want to be excited but with only one starter back is this a better team with addition through subtraction ?

YSU Penguin Athletics / Mens basketball 2015-16
« on: August 16, 2015, 03:40:13 PM »
I know football season is less than 3 weeks but I watched on youtube most of the games from the Bahamas.
Not sure if the opposition were pros or college age but they were better athletes than they were as a team. YSU will not see some of the lacking D team wise as they did. Just saying the Horizon league is > than the Bahama teams.
Really worried about rebounding and our back court. The team will need to rebound the ball as whole and not rely on the front court players. They didn't hit the boards well in the Bahamas and the ft shooting was bad. Btw the fiba rules were a little different but the officiating was poor if not bias.
The guards were Francisco Santiago and Cameron Morse. Santiago did not seem natural as a point guard. The term game manger that they use about a football QB seems more suited. He did seem to hit his open shots so I'll give him that. In my mind I need to get over that YSU's starting PG is a transfer from Wheeling Jesuit ?
Morse played more of the 2 guard and he played OK. Seems athletic and he should get more consistent with experience. Latin Davis is a frosh and he is a natural PG. With experience he will be a good player and showed some real promise. I think he will be a typical Freshman who will be up and down his 1st year but hopefully more ups because the Penguins will need him.
The strength of the team seems to be the swing position. Jorden Andrews looked unbelievable!!! The 1st game he got in foul trouble on some nickel/dime calls but man can this guy shoot it. He also passed the ball extremely well and has a high basketball IQ. Jerry stole one from Louisiana and hopefully he won't be most likely to transfer. I say this since we had some top talent transfer out of the program as documented on this message board. I need to temper my excitement about Andrews but he might be the best shooter to wear the red & white since Dave Ziegler. Matt Donlan is another new comer that can play both the 3 or 4 and he stroked it well from 3 and rebounded the ball well Matt showed some of the most toughness I saw in the 3 games. Nice pickup and seemed to be the 6th man but will be hard to keep out of the lineup. Brett Frantz is another new player from the JC ranks and he is more of 2 guard who shot the ball better as the tourney went along. Should be OK off the bench and provide some outside shooting.
Big Men. Bobby Hain will be a double double guy all season and as all you know he will be our go to guy. In my opinion Bobby is a better basketball play than an athlete. He will most likely get paid over seas for years to come. I would like to see him at least a few time develop some sort of a mean streak.
7-0 foot newcomer Jorden Kaufman I'm going to give an incomplete. I really did not get a read on what a brings but it needs to be better than what he showed in those 3 games.
Sydney Umude was a little up and down in the tourney. He is the opposite of Bobby where he's a better athlete than a basketball player at this point. YSU needs him to step as an enforcer at the power forward position.
RS freshman Bryce Nickels did not do anything that got me excited. He's 6-9 and very long but needs to get stronger. X-factor guy at best/shot blocker.
Devin Haygood another frosh might need to red shirt unless we're short of bodies. He's 6-7 and only 175 lbs. Needs another 25 before he's ready to pound in the Horizon.
Overall I'm not too optimistic. YSU lost a lot from last years squad in both points and experience and that team was near the bottom of the conference. Can the new guys make an impact ?
I really enjoyed watching Jorden Andrews and if the Bahamas were a microcosm then he will worth the price of admission. Might be a little over zealous of the freshman.

The 4 guard offense cannot go 2 of 18 and from three and shoot 50% from the line. Not sure of what kind of team we have but they sure scrapped last night. Hain HAS to stay on the floor. Bobby really looked confident and Amiker looks like he's ready to lead. Hopefully the others can step up.
