Get Excited

If Stan Simpson was Glen Cyphiens last contribution to the Tiger basketball program. He was being stingy. It was time for him to leave the school. Josh pastner is taking it to a new level hopefully. I remember all the hype surrounding the signing of Stan Simpson last year. He was supposed to be the missing link. Coach Cyphien was the one who got all the credit. Either this was a setup or a testament to his shortcomings. I think it was the latter. His main job was to recruit a big man, and obviously he didn't deliver.

Last night I watched him play. Stan Simpson is a division 11 level player at best. He doesn't move like Gorgui Dieng and Chane Behenan. He plays on brakes. Though Simpson is 6'10 /235. Just like we were with Will Coleman last year. We don't have a big man again. And Coleman seems to be better than Simpson. You won't find a good big man in JC because of his grades. Their skills aren't up to par. This guy runs flat footed and seems content sitting on the bench as a junior. The coach had to beg him to get excited on national television. I hope he's getting a good education. His days on the court are numbered.
