I posted in Elevator thread below but wanted to emphasize how strong these four play.

Just got home from the game.

I am not sure if it comes through on TV sometimes but first N FL is about as well conditioned Team you will see. The tempo and speed of play puts you under constant pressure. From a pure basketball sense, it is really fun to watch.

From the opening tip our guys were ready! The level of communication and effort on defense in the first half was as good as any Team I have seen since the Harrick days. Maybe better.

I want to emphasize the sustained intensity and effort displayed by Godfrey, Silas, Asa and Tyrin is something to watch. Those four guys play as hard and fast as any as a group as I can remember. Godfrey is an absolute beast just the way he plays. Nothing dirty but just hard nosed physical basketball.

The other players are nice and they all add something different but those four are the engine for this squad. Tyrin is a dude, no two ways about it. If he hits 35% from three for us, it will open up so many other looks for himself and the others around him.

Silas wears hip pads under his shorts to protect his joints because he is always ready to get on the floor or do what is needed to win.

Asa is the human pogo stick. People talk about great athletes and leapers but this guy is a really QUICK leaper as well. He is really fun to watch because of his constant movement with and without the ball.

Laffew is one cool customer. Under control, head is always up and smooth with the ball. His stroke is the best on the Team IMO. The speed of play doesn’t bother him in the least. He looked really nice at the point in the second half.

Blue with a solid night and worked hard on D.

Once Montgomery is able to play I think we really will have something.

All the guys really enjoy one another and really support one another. They pick up the player on the floor, they always go find the guy that made the great pass or assist. I don’t want to get too carried away but the culture CMW has built is really something I appreciate. These are good kids who bust their ass and represent the program extremely well IMO. I think this year is going to be a really fun ride.
