Seeing a couple of people on Twitter reporting that Najeeb Echols passed away.
Far too young. RIP.

I wonder if DJ regrets going to 11-1 ASU?

Sorry, I thought I put this under “former Redbirds”.Who cares at this point?
Definite theme! If my memory serves me correctly, the only games of his I watched last year were losses as well. I live in San Diego now but lived in Scottsdale for about 10 years and went to a number of ASU games, drove by the campus frequently. It's not a college town being in the middle of a large metropolitan area competing for attention with multiple professional sports teams but it is a beautiful place.So, you watched a game and they lost? I'm sensing a theme. Agree on the benefits he got by moving on.
Strong had a bad case of mono right before the season started, so that slowed him down a lot.Former Redbird updates:
Mark Freeman (Morehead State) - 28.1 MPG, 13.2 PPG, 3.5 APG, 2.5 RPG, 2.3 TO, 37.4 FG%, 37.3 3P%, 87.9 FT%
Josiah Strong (Colorado State) - 20.6 MPG, 4.4 PPG, 1.6 APG, 2.4 RPG, 0.7 TO, 26.3 FG%, 27.6 3P%, 75 FT%
- Having arguably his best season - good scoring output, good averages (except 2P%) and limiting turnovers
Sy Chatman (Buffalo) - Has not played. Still recovering from ACL tear.
- Has really struggled to get anything going. I believe he has gone through two illnesses that have limited him to 7 games played. Strong was one of my favorite players, real tough luck for his final season of eligibility.
Abdou Ndiaye (Seton Hall) - Has not played due to injury. Don't know exactly what is going on.
Antonio Reeves (Kentucky) - 23.8 MPG, 11.8 PPG, 1.4 APG, 2.2 RPG, 1.2 TO, 39.7 FG%, 40.8 3P%, 73.1 FT%
Elijah Williams (Lewis) - 5 MPG, 0.9 PPG, 0.1 APG, 1.4 RPG, 0.3 TO, 42.9 FG%, 50 FT%
- Pretty good averages except maybe 2P%. Have heard a lot of criticism from Kentucky fans as the team is not meeting expectations as a whole so far. Don't know if criticism of Reeves is warranted or not.
Emon Washington (Morehouse) - appears to no longer be on the roster
Julian Samuels (UW-Platteville) - 14.2 MPG, 4.7 PPG, 1.9 APG, 1.9 RPG, 1 TO, 46 FG%, 33.3 3P%, 52.9 FT%
Dedric Boyd (Tennessee State) - 20.1 MPG, 10.2 PPG, 0.2 APG, 2.1 RPG, 0.8 TO, 43.4 FG%, 37.8 3P%, 85.7 FT%
Howard Fleming Jr. (Winthrop) - 22.1 MPG, 3.7 PPG, 1.7 APG, 3.7 RPG, 1.7 TO, 19.4 FG%, 10 3P%, 71.4 FT%
DJ Horne (Arizona State) - 29.1 MPG, 12.1 PPG, 2.6 APG, 4.1 RPG, 1.1 TO, 35.8 FG%, 30.4 3P%, 76.2 FT%
- Has only played 7 games on the year but yikes on those shooting percentages. He made big strides offensively last year, hope he gets back on the right track.
Dusan Mahorcic (NC State) - 20.7 MPG, 8.7 PPG, 1.2 APG, 6.6 RPG, 1.2 TO, 64.3 FG%, 57.7 FT%
- Having a down year shooting the rock but has improved turnover numbers. Assist to turnover ratio is double his career best.
- Pretty impressive that his efficiency has gone up since leaving ISU and eventually landing in ACC
Good thing they don’t play in the HOI, or some folks here would insist he not be recruited.FYI My Yorkville Foxes have a freshman on Dukes roster getting some minutes, Jaden Schutt
Went to Yorkville Christian school with less than 100 students
HOI doesn’t have any private schools that can get kids from outside the district at a cost of 9000.00 tuition a year.Good thing they don’t play in the HOI, or some folks here would insist he not be recruited.
