Saw some players at the HPER

[Hogbody]

Britt was down there, and I believe it was Fortson that was down there also.

And there was some really tall skinny guy down there, bout 6'7" or so it seemed that was with them.
Any idea who that would have been?

[Billy]

Jason Henry or Montrell Mcdonald would be my first guess.

It coulda been Brandon Moore or Andre Clark also. they are about 6-9 though.

[Hogbody]

I dunno..he was SKINNY.  Seemed too skinny to be a PF in the the SEC if he was one of them.

Maybe that's just me though.

vincent hunter?

vincent hunter?

haha..he wasnt that skinny
besides I know what all the players look like that were around last year.

[FBfan]

I bet it was Montrell Mcdonald, that guy is a stick.

Andre Clark was there tonight around 9. He is only about 6'8" from what i could tell. He is very skilled, but is really raw. He's got length, speed, quickness, and ball handling....but could improve his shot and finishing strong at the rim.

vincent hunter?

looks like they've already passed laws banning vincent hunters in italy, spain, and france.  could the US be next?  personally i think its great news...its sickening to see children striving to emulate this unhealthy mental image and also getting pushed around the lane.

Players are down there all the time. Some of the football players work out at night in there. Pbev, Welsh, Ervin, and Townes use to all go down there and play. Modica is always in there. You will likely see many players in there in the future.

I've seen many players over the past couple years already.  I wasnt trying to say it was weird or anything, just that I didnt know who that one person was since it was somebody new.  And Modica seems to usually be lifting weights, not playing pickup.

I know where Vincent used to hang out the night before games, or at least the night before last years Ole Miss game, until well after midnight at that.

[Hogbody]

I think many people would be surprised about some of our players.

Even "good boy" Steven Hill.

Most college athletes are that way.

I didn't say Modica was playing, just that he was in there. However, he does play. I have played with him a few times. He doesn't really play too hard because he would still dominate. Billy Pharris was in there a few times and it was pretty funny because he was going 100% trying to show people up and was getting pissed when they would lose.

well britt rooms with brandon moore and they are always sitting outside with Fortson. I bet it was B-mo. He got off the elevator on the first day and he's pretty dang skinny

Yeah, we almost beat Billy's team in the finals of the tournament of champions last year.

Billy is hilarious when he's playin around.  I love playing with or against him.  I usually try to man up on him and mess with him.

Billy's team in intramurals last year was got together by my cousin. he is a 6'5" guy who is pretty good. remember him?

their whole team was like 6'2" or taller, so its hard to remember. but i think i remember another post player who was pretty good. if he played in the game he probably remembers me.

on another note, i was in the hper today and watched 4 players play today, and here is my scouting report:

Marcus Britt- seems to be just overall improving. His shot was pretty shakey from long range, but his midrange game was good and he did have a really long three that he pulled with confidence and looked really good. Defense is his best attribute.

Brandon Moore- a solid 6'9". honestly, i laugh at any Derek Hood comparisons. i would almost compare him more to Larry Satchell, honestly. Not trying to bash the guy, but Larry wasnt a terrible player, but he had his role. Moore's role with be rebounding and defense, so don't look for and Hood like performances.

Andre Clark- closer to 6'8". is very long and skilled. Is kinda a 3-4 tweener. A poor man's Chris Bosh is a fair comparison. With time and work on his jump shot and overall strength growth, he could be a good player in our system. Both he and Moore havent been taught well in high school on footwork down low. Its sad that no posts have the coaches to help them in their growth. maybe pelphrey can work on that.

Courtney Fortson- about 5'11". his jump shot is just ok. Every other part of his game in as good as advertised. Kinda a mix between Kareem Reid and Brandon Dean. He's got hops, can take his man of the dribble and finish at the rack, and is a good distributer. This guy is the starter from day one.
