My son and I were there to see the scrimmage and football game. It was a lot of fun! The game was very sloppy to say the least. RJ is playing on another level. Bacot looks a lot stronger, more polished and focused. He was in cruise control. Shaver will be a good player down the line however he was by far outmatched by Bacot. It was child abuse like. Lol. Creighton Lebo (terrible name by the way 2012) needs to do away with his Rambo esq bandanna lol. RJ was the MVP in a landslide. Nance shows tremendous leadership skills. Dunn was very consistent and solid. Seth is going to be amazing but he has to be more decisive in his moves. I was hoping to see Washington and Leaky but neither played. They are bringing Jalen along slowly of course due to his knee history and rehabbing. He is supposed to be cleared in the next week or two. Styles and Puff were a little disappointing. McKoy tried to assert his will by shooting and he finished 2-13 from the field. He had plays where he was both tentative and lost. He had one potential layup near the end of the game. RJ had given him an amazing pass and Justin was right at the rim but he panicked and kicked the ball back outside. His teammates really got on him for that and on the very next play Justin inadvertently (I think) elbowed Seth out on the perimeter and bloodied his nose. However it was a scrimmage game and you take it with a grain of salt. This years team has far much more overall talent than last years team and that was without Leaky and Jalen playing. Caleb shot WAY TOO MUCH and kept taking bad shots. Caleb did not get his other teammates involved and that was a big contributor into his teams loss. But man is he talented and strong. Just going by yesterdays scrimmage RJ looked like he has progressed the most. GDTBATH
