It was an impressive scrimmage where the pace and quality of play was all out for 40 minutes. Some observations.
Sean Mosley’s floor game was sensational as he finished with 21 points and 10 assists. Sean had many fast break passes that were perfect and led to snowbird layups.
When I first saw James Padgett dominate the Towson Under Armour game with his inside moves , I could not get too excited because of the level of competition. But yeaterday … Read More »
Last year, Baltimore’s Sean Mosley certainly proved he could play on the ACC level. His defense was excellent. His court sense was unmatched by anyone on the team. He did so many little things that don’t show up in the stats. Howver his offenseive output was not as excellent. Now , he appears much more comfortable. His shot looked much improved but he finished the way I remember he did at St Frances. I will say it now –Sean will … Read More »
It’s the day we all have been waiting for —the basketball season begins in earnest tonight as Gary and Brenda will introduce their teams before a packed Comcast Center. Thursday was media day and Coach Williams reflected on the loss of 3 members of the program “This past season, we lost three people who were really connected with the team. The obvious one is Dave Neal, but we also … Read More »
This year’s backcourt will need to play at consistently high level considering the teams lack of experience and depth in the low post. 6-6 senior Greivis Vasquez will run the point for the Red and White. Vasquez, who worked-out for a number of NBA teams before last summer’s pro draft is the leader of the team. Vasquez has terrific court sense and plays with a flair. The Venezuelan needs to be more consistent with his outside shot which should be … Read More »
Terrapintimes.com reports that Jordan williams is beginning to show the power and finesse in the pickup games at Comcast. Eric Hayes continues to nurse a turf toe injury. Adrian Bowie, Greivis and Sean Mosley seem to have their A games alive and well. 22 days until Midnite Madness!!!
3. Maryland: The Terps had a very good season, but will be better with some bulk and talent inside. Greivis Vasquez is one of the best guards in the country, but his emotional play seems to get more press than his skills. Vasquez is a complete player whom I believe is underrated. Add James Padgett and Jordan Williams to returnees Dino Gregory and Jerome Burney, and Maryland is not playing shorthanded in the paint this year. And no team … Read More »
The irony of ironies. Should Maryland defeat Chaminade in the first round and Cincy defeat Vanderbilt, on Tuesday night Nov 24 at 7PM the Terrapins will take on Lance Stephenson and the Bearcats. Perhaps Sean Mosley and Landon will alternate guarding Born Ready. Enough said!!!!
Jim Terp 70 in the forum last night mentioned that I did not include Kim in the analysis of the 2009-10 Terrapin Basketball squad. I hope Kim has bulked up a little because the intensity and fearlessness he brings to the table are plusses for any team. Jin Soo came to Maryland with a reputation of a shooter, yet last year he never found his stroke. Gary has said the biggest adjustment a shooter has to make when he comes … Read More »
Yes it’s my biased self speaking, but let’s analyze why this team is ready to make a run. Senior Leadership prevails at he most important position-that of guard. With Hayes and Greivis, the Terps have their backcourt combo since the championship days. Bowie, Mosley , and Tucker give guard, small forward depth that the Terrapins have never had. Landon Milbourne whether playing the 3 or 4 position has another year under his belt and a tremendous character resume stemming from … Read More »
The Minutemen fans in Massachusetts are rejoicing tonight. Terrell Vinson, most likely tired of waiting for X Henry tocommit to Kansas and Lance to who knows where scenario will play out, announced his intention to attend Umass. Apparently Vinson hit it off with Coach Derek Kellog and the 6’7″ forward from St Francis now has to get used to the frigid winters in Amherst. Check out Matt Bracken’s blog in the sun today for an entire history of … Read More »
