Darius Hannah showing off a lot of new offensive moves. I have heard he has greatly improved his shooting, including FTs.

Coach says Burch is ill
score after 10 min
Red 29 - White 18

btw, a 3rd visitor is now sitting with his AAU buddies, Dekwon Brown, Peoria HS
 
Final score- good shooting, uptempo
just a 20 minute game …

Red 51 - White 40

is the world ready for Darius Hannah draining three's?
btw- there were a few more recruits that showed up - I think one kid from Milwaukee-area and a few others from in-state

Hickman looked really good- John Stockton-like. Handled the ball well, dished off and drained threes
Hannah played well, drove well, even hit a three
We're so used to Malevy playing well that it's automatic, but he was all over. Almar looked strong for a freshman as did Jonovic.
Ellis is a great athlete and plays good defense but don't look for him to be a big scorer.
Duke was solid and made most of his shots, Davis looks much more confident and shot well
Nobody looked bad so I think everyone has a shot at some playing time, especially early.
 
Jonovic and Hickman stood out to me. Coach said Biliew is signicantly improved but I didn't see it on the court. Which is a shame with that body.
 
There was a busload of Milwaukee kids, probably 8 or 9 kids, that came down to the game and sat on the side opposite the bench. They were hanging with Coach Foster after the scrimmage. Also, Matthew Zobrist of Metamora was there, as were his parents.

Jonovic made several baskets in the lane, but it looked like he got winded a couple times and came out. His height and reach are an asset on defense.
As noted, Connor Hickman shot the ball very well, making several threes. And Duke shot the ball well, to. He is quick and made some nice passes, but also had a couple unforced turnovers. Darius Hannah, as I posted above, looks improved again this year. His defense was very good, and he made some nice offensive moves for baskets. I have heard he is shooting threes in practice, and making a good percentage. Leon was his usual reliable self on offense and defense. It looks like he has worked on creating shots on the move. I still think Jonovic will be the 5th starter, along with Hickman, Deen, Hannah, and Leons.
Pettigrew played well, and made the only three pointer I recall him taking. Ellis also looked good, though didn't look to score much. Thomas hustled, played good defense, and will help in the post. He made the only three he attempted. Davis is improved, his shot looks more confident, and he made a couple threes. The other guys, Biliew, Linke, and Atlason, did not look to score, but appeared to hustle on defense, and could see playing time.

The BU women look like they will play an uptempo style, too. They appear improved and more physical, but they still could use a couple more shooters.

I thought Meta looked pretty good and think he will probably get the fifth starting spot most nights-but agree he got winded and certainly won’t play 40 mins. I thought both Christian and Darius looked greatly improved. Emarion will get a fair number of mins and can defend but worry we won’t get a lot of points out of him. Almar can shoot- I really like his upside. If Hickman does not get on first or second all conference by year end I will be surprised. Sorry did not get to see Burch due to illness.
