T-Bird Men's hoops thoughts
After attending Thunderbird Madness and two men's basketball practices this week, I believe I can see Bill Evans' team taking shape.
I don't think anyone is under the illusion that the T-Birds don't still have a long way to go. Most coaches and players would probably admit that.
But luckily it's still early and the T-Birds have time to sort out some issues, such as who will start at power forward, and (other than Steve Barnes) from what source will the points be coming?
SUU has two more weeks and two exhibition games to figure that out.
Swaney Cooper looks like an incredible athlete. Can he start at power forward? Well, even though he's only 6-foot-4, he plays big and has a 38-inch vertical leap.
Orlando Griego looks like he brings some possible versatility to that spot.
T-Bird fans should be glad to see Marcus Carson practicing after being sidelined by an early injury. This guy is a great athlete who wasn't showcased during a redshirt year in 2005-06.
One player who could be intriguing in the future is Jaques Wilson, a transfer guard from Montana State. He will likely have to sit out this year because of NCAA transfer regulations.
