I suppose the lineup id most like to see is Poyser, Mooring, Baxter, Jones, Morgan.
JoJo Mooring has shown flashes as a three-point shooter, and he has hit some great shots from considerable distance during the OOC season. But watching him at CSU this week, trying to be a ball-handler, he was seriously over-dribbling, resulting in inevitable turnovers.
I like him, but he's strictly a two-guard. Unfortunately so is Poyser. I certainly don't blame these guys. They're trying to play a position for which they have no experience. Until we manage to recruit a quality PG, The Rebels will continue to struggle.
Are they really that hard to find? Or are our recruiters so enamored with the long, athletic types that they're overlooking the floor-generals?
On an aside...The game vs Wyoming is a special 1 pm start. It will be streamed on The Mountain West Network & UNLVRebels.com.
An aside to the aside: Is it just me, or does Tony Cordasco sound like every play is the most surprising thing he's ever witnessed? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate he and Jevon Banks providing play-by-play and color commentary, it's just that his style cracks me up. Anyway, I hope there's a decent turnout for the game (although, I doubt it), but if you can't be there, the live stream is available.
Go Rebels!
