Everyone keeps talking about his footwork, but I'm impressed with his hands. That's also what I like about Calixte too. they don't drop the ball when they are in good position to score like previous bigs for Mason.
I think they're still holding out on the pipe dream that they'll get invited to a high-end conference because of their football program (AAC or something far better than CAA) but need the requisite facilities. Won't happen, but a new arena will certainly help the school and the basketball program on the recruiting front.
Hate to say it because I loved watching Otis, but we’re a better program with Hartwell out there. I’d rather someone score 20 a night as opposed to 30, but be able to play defense, and avoid getting smashed into the ground on every layup. It’s pretty clear we’re more balanced right now, and Kier will add the driving the hoop dimension when he’s back.
I couldn’t agree more loved Otis but he constantly dribbled too much!
I mean for a large stretch of the back end of his career he didn't have Grayer, and our offense wasn't moving/rotating to give him a place to pass so I don't really blame him for that. He just wasn't much of a defender and a lot of games were closer than they had to be or we narrowly lost because Otis was easily switched off someone. Having five guys on defense is a blessing, and it's only going to get better with Kier coming back and AJ improving every game.
JMU and Layola both have talent. But they have coaches who cant coach.
