Anyone else make it up to Runnin’ Utes night last night (and judging by the amount of people there, my guess is no?) With the caveat that it’s always difficult to make much of anything from these things, I think there’s some promise on the team but don’t see us continuing our run of top four finishes in the conference. We can count on Timmy Allen being solid, but besides that a few players stood out to me:
Rylan Jones – really impressed with the way he sees the floor, court vision is a step above anyone else on the team. Didn’t score a ton but had a couple of impressive mid-range shots in the second half.
Alfonso Plummer – looks like he has some talent, smooth looking shot.
Matt Van Komen – he is tall, reminded me of David Foster. I saw in the D-News that Krystko was thinking of redshirting him, but he could contribute right away defensively.
Looks to be yet another rebuilding year. If we could actually keep some players around there’s definitely some potential for a very good team down the road … but that’s a big if given recent history.
