Old Titan Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 http://www.oruathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2018-19/releases/20180827j9m5eh Sobering quote from Coach Mills re: the necessity of signing Malone due to injuries already. Wonder who on the roster (it sounds like) is perhaps lost for the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU GRAD Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I discussed this earlier. 8/5/2018 - JUCO SG D'Mauria Jones (6-3, 210, 2★) has enrolled in school and been added to the official team roster. However, he is not on the roster. Could it be that he got hurt and is out for the season? That left us with an open spot. That is just a guess but Terry would know maybe.

Dr. Cornelius Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Don't know anything about Malone but Fran Fraschilla tweeted this when Malone announced he was transferring from Wichita. Malone attended McLennan Community College (located in Waco) before transferring to Wichita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 So, did he sign a scholarship or is he a walk-on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUParentLurker Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I"m hearing RJ may be out for the season. That, combined with Jones not getting here in time, makes for trouble for sure. It's actually pretty lucky that it happened early enough to make a move like this. I don't know how good Malone is but he's probably better than a typical walk on.

I don't know how good Malone is but he's probably better than a typical walk on. Apparently he was a walk on at Wichita St. which like you said probably makes him much different than the typical Summit league walk on. However, it will be interesting to see how much he can contribute because he played quite sparingly at WSU even as a preferred walk on. This leads me to believe that he's being brought in so that bodies will be available. Primarily for practice. I was expecting Sam Kearns to get the lion's share of the minutes this year at point regardless of Fuqua's health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 really surprised they were not able to, at least on paper, do better in the grad transfer market --- a walk on from WSU and big man with a bunch of DNP's at Grand Canyon. My way too early prediction.... Milton Kearns Eman Obanor Miller significant minutes off the bench from Saunders and Weaver............nice thing is they seem to have a number of 6'4" to 6'8" guys so they can have some flexibility in positions and tinker with different lineups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Only Kearns, EMan, Ahmedic and Miller are known quantities. The rest represents lots of apparent talent, but not seasoned. From what we know, I can’t disagree with your initial lineup. Gotta think that Ahmedic, Weaver and Saunders will be right off the bench. I notice that Jones is commenting on ORUMBB tweets - specifically saying he can’t wait to join his teammates. We will see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Big year for Emir............not a Mills recruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Who subs for Miller at the first media timeout after his obligatory two fouls in the first four minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUParentLurker Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I bet Smith gets plenty of time as well either coming off the bench or starting if they go a little bigger. He is an older experienced guy regardless of how many actual minutes he got at Grand Canyon. I'm hearing the returning guys look VERY strong. Kearns, Eman, Miller, RJ (pre-injury). Emir spent the whole summer training back home so we'll see about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
