Keenan Henderson Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Does Lufile remind anyone of a Zion Williamson Jr.? Not saying he is an NBA all-star, but both are built like a rock and have surprisingly athletic ability (leaping ability). Just a thought.

Old Titan Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 One thing I love about Eli is his motor. The guy sprints down the floor, he crouches and moves his feet when guarding a switch on the perimeter, he dives on the floor for loose balls. He stands in stark contrast to a current frontcourt starter who I can NEVER recall diving on the floor for a loose ball. It's all about how some organisms react to (the proverbial) bright lights: some recoil; some even wither; but some bloom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy athletic, but I don't recall the word "hustle" ever being used to describe his game. He's what I call a "glider", plays at a lot of different speeds, but none of them are what you might call "overdrive". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like an oversized boulder right now. You know you are out of shape when your team sends you out of state to do your rehab due to you not being able to stop from eating everything in sight. He has to weigh at least 310 right now. Not helping with all those foot injuries of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Some eye-opening details from Coach Mills tonight on his radio show re: ORU ‘s travel from The Twin Cities to Macomb: they flew Friday morning to Chicago; then bussed 2 hours to Peoria, IL; which still left them a 1-1/2 hour drive to Macomb on game day. Brutal… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess maybe that was the last show due to the holidays? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle88 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Here is what i think is happening. Coach Mills is recruiting guys that think they can win every game, even on the road. Although no team will win all of their games it all starts with belief. In the past we seemed to have athletes that bought into the narrative that it is nearly impossible to win road games. Good teams figure out how to win some tough road games. This takes focus and maturity which this team seems to have. If you listen to the Cameron Amboree interview it is obvious he is coming into ORU next season with the mindset to win championships! Although Expect A Miracle is a cool slogan isn't Expecting To Win even better?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just aren't putting it on whatever platform they use for the app. 1 hour ago, Old Titan said: I did not hear the entire show last night - was any mention made of Carlos' status? He said that the break this week came at a convenient time to get guys rest and "to deal with COVID issues". Maybe Carlos, though I'm not sure how he could've caught it between St. Thomas and WIU without giving it to anyone else on the team. Or even if the team would be allowed to play due to whatever "protocols" they have in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
