Another bright light in a bad situation could be the counselling MC has referred to for some of the guys after the X game could be paying dividends for Ellis. The team is playing better and it could be the recipients of the suspenions are growing individually as well. Time will tell. The players and the Coach certainly appear to have turned a negative experience into a positive up to this point. Isn't that what life is al about. Learning form our misstakes.
Thomas is noticeably bigger in the shoulders.

We now have three head coaches in the building for Chris Obekpa. To go with Cronin and Lavin, Connecticut's Jim Calhoun is here.
They failed to mention Jim Calhoun's checkbook was in attendance too.

I just watched some video on this kid. I haven't seen anyone that active around the rim since K-mart. The tip dunk after his teamate was blocked was awesome. I would love to see this kid wearing black and red next year. It would be nice to beat out uconn and calhoun for once. GO CATS.

The thing is...........with our new guard oriented offense, this kid is just what we need. Someone to protect the rim down low, play solid defense, be an intimidator, rebound, and get those cleanup points around the basket. Sounds like he can do all of that. And he'd have 4 years to put together some offensive moves eventually.

If Mick can grab Rubles and Obekpa in this class I will be EXTREMELY happy even though I have my own doubts about Obekpa. While im enjoying this season maybe more than anyone else the thought of what this team would look like next season makes me happy in a special place lol
