Redbirds v UMass Lowell in Columbus, Oh 11/28 12:00 PM

[JHBird]

Maybe Belcher really is a good recruiter? These new guys seem to be starting out strong. I hope we get a game this week.

I don't recall too many folks singing Paris Lee's praises before his senior year's conference season. Horne is pretty darn good and consistent, I can certainly understand coach seeing an abundance of potential.

 

[Baltimore Bird]

I assume Muller is talking about during his time as a coach. Otherwise, his statement is ludicrous.
Can Horne match or exceed P Lee, maybe. He has the potential. Horne had a better freshman year than P Lee.

 

[jamminjamarsmiley]

The statement the poster made quoted Dan as saying “DJ can be the best guard in isu history”. I didn’t hear the quote but if that’s accurate, Muller has once again made himself look like a fool. Much like the time he voted ISU to finish first in the MVC in the pre season.

and I like Horne. Can be a very good player in the MVC. But, don’t think he’s going to be the #1 overall NBA draft pick...

UMASS Lowell gave Ohio State all they could handle. The Birds were very close to two de facto wins over top 25 teams this weekend.

Hell yes! De facto wins!! Ncaa bid on the way!!

Who would be the best Redbird point guard all-time?

I can only go back as far as:
Richard Thomas
Jamar Smiley
Victor Williams ((only one season)
Nic Moore (only one season)

Gotta be Ryan Crowley . . . or maybe Neil Plank.

Michael McKenney is in the Hall of Fame.
Not to mention Tarise Bryson. Osiris Eldridge. Rick Whitlow. Buzz Shaw. George Terry. Rickie Johnson.

Those are just the Hall of Famers. Not all "point guards". Others:
Derrick Mayes, as Timmy mentions. Vince Greene.

Career assist leaders - Jamar Smiley, Ron Jones, Mayes, Paris Lee, McKenny, Mike Bonczyk, Greene, Randy Blair, Richard Thomas, Todd Wemhoener.

Also David Cason, Todd Starks. Dwayne Tyus

Mike Bonczyk had 3 games with 20+ assists. 3 games!

Bonczyk had a few guys he could get the ball to.

Sorry, DBird! Still working on this covid. Kinda bored.

 

[TIMMY]

Thanks Timmy. Never had the opportunity to see him play.

It's really a shame we can't go back and watch that group. For those of us who saw them, Derrick leading a break with Ron and Billy on either side was a beautiful thing!

That’s an awful lot of PG to be considered Best Ever:
I don’t know about all of those, but I don’t think Ricky Johnson, “O”, or Tarise played PG. that is why I didn’t list them.
