NCAA or bust!

I love all our guys, but at this point I think only 2 fall in the very good category. Others have a chance to step up and join them, I think Fore is on the cusp. But to me only TJ and Shawndre have proven themselves to that level.

Fore was one of the top 5 freshmen in the A10 last year. He was really good as a freshmen on both sides of the ball. He was probably our best defender and he was very efficient on offense (he was the highest rated A10 freshmen according to kenpom). If his game progresses, which I believe it will, he could easily be on an all A10 team for the next 3 years.

Fore reminds me of Ced and how he started with hustle and crazy body contortions to get
a shot up in traffic.

I felt the same way about Kendall Anthony.

And Terry Allen.....

Fore is way more athletic though.

Here is a video of Frank Mason, a Petersburg native and multi year starter at Kansas. Frank is 5' 11". Think Khwan is 6' or so and have seen him do the same thing in practice last year. Yep, Khwan is athletic. And yep, Khwan is the real deal. OSC

97 you are correct, there are not many players in history of Spider basketball that were that
explosive athletically.

 

[urfan1]

K0 was likely more explosive, but not as big. K0 was a very special player. He lived up to his nickname Jet.

 

[keefusb]

Actually think that Fore reminds me of Momo Jones, who played for Iona a few years back. He had a dunk against us at the RC that was ridiculous. Guy could really get up.

I disagree.

 

[LongTimeSpiderFan]

I disagree.

... About KO being more explosive. (agree he was special!)

 

[urfan1]

purely subjective, your privilege to disagree, but when Fore breaks a defenders ankle I may change my opinion

Fore is more explosive vertically, Anthony was more explosive horizontally. And I thought Fezz called Anderson "jet"?

 

[urfan1]

Fess may have used that term, don't recall. My understanding is "Jet" was the nickname for K0 at his HS.

Believe Khwan is ready! OSC
