Another Calhoun Alumni Game in the Books

[CL82]

No Alex Oriaki, huh?

He has mu-muved on.

 

[Huskybass]

Some observations:
Taliek - most fun to watch, put on a good show with fancy dribbling and passing inside, set the bar and tempo for the game. Never once drove in too far without a plan
Ed Nelson - 3/3 from 3, high scorer at 15, was good natured afterwards about getting jobbed for MVP
John Gwynn - not sure if he played, looked good/same in warmups, very helpful after game getting kids autographs
Ray - King of the court, didn't shoot well but looked great <5% bodyfat. Had a good pre-game speech and signed many autographs after game even posing for some fan pics.
RIP - Also looked same, shot well when he took them. Stayed late & signed a few autographs on way out. Had the line of the night when asked on sideline interview who was in best shape; "El-Amin might be in better shape than he was at UConn"
Jake - Looked very different with extra bulk, but looked athletic. DNP
Swain/Sterling Gibbs - took a lot of shots!
Amidah - some nice dunks/lobs - same as when at UConn
Charles O - looked stronger and also had some nice finishes inside
Rod Sellers - still just a gamer, one of the older guys there but just like his playing days wouldn't quit inside and gets balls/buckets
Murray Williams - probably the oldest guy that played, just as wiry as he was at UConn, glad to see him there and playing.
Jeff Adrien - looked good, also glad to see him healthy and playing basketball
Stanley Robinson - played well, looked like he could still jump out of the gym but kept it modest
Rodney P - flashy kicks, looked good and I bet he gets another shot in NBA if he keeps working. Had crossover then jump shot 'ooh' move of the night
Rudy G - played at medium speed, glad to see him there showing Husky love
CharlieV - looked like he could still get buckets in nba
Rashad Anderson - heard him saying afterwards that he retired from Europe a year or two ago after a calf injury. Nonetheless, the dude can still shoot. Knocked down his first 2 three's and I thought he might not miss all night, perfect from the line, outscored Ray taking half as many shots!

Boat?
I heard he was the MVP.

Thank you for all of this, much appreciated.

Boat?
I heard he was the MVP.

Yes, Boat was lightning quick all night and turned it on near the end getting a couple steals and buckets that decided the game. He had a couple breakaways where it looked like he wanted to dunk but didn't quite have the explosiveness he had at UConn, not sure if that was just summer rust or if he's changing his body (not visibly) to play more physically.
