JaJuan Johnson: A friend and I noted he just looked disinterested, even for this setting. Although off the court he seemed to enjoy socializing with other teammates so hopefully it was just that he didn't want to play ball last night.
Duane Wilson: you could tell he wanted to win, he played hard and started slow but was hitting shots later... His hops blow me away everytime i see him, he gets up so fast. DUANE: After his game, Duane played a whole game as a sub for a team in the second set. He really looks impressive.
Juan: looked good, he played Deonte's team and it was a real close game till the end.
Derrick Wilson: played okay, did hit some threes, but for the most part was non descript
Matt Carlino: I didn't get to watch his game so i only say about 10 mins of him and he didn't hit any shots while I was there, so can't really comment on him.
MATT CARLINO had the wrong jersey number so at first I was asking, who is that old guard out there who is so good? He has a smooth three point shot, and plays an overall good guard game - great court sense, passing, driving to score or pass for threes, defensive effort - just a smart guard but not a ball hog like others on his team. I think he will be our starting PG and will definitely solve our PG problems and make others better while being a good scorer himself.
Deonte Burton: he looked super aggressive and as usual is an incredible dunker, he is an absolute must see at this event. When his game came up the gym was full and you could tell he wanted to take the ball to the rim
Sandy Cohen: looks super thin, didn't see a ton of his game but you can tell he is a freshman. From the few shots he took both my friend and I commented on his awkward shooting form so that may need to be ironed out. However you can tell he is comfortable crashing the basket. I think he will take time to contribute but will be a real nice 4 year player
John Dawson: he didn't score much in the game I watched, did seem to get along well with Burton, and I think he can be a real good one, seemed to have added some weight which is good.
Wally Ellenson, Luke Fischer, Gabe Levin, and Todd Mayo all didn't show.
