Omar with back to back practices is a Big Deal.

That's funny.

Omar could be the missing piece, that additional player with experience and shooting skills that could make a difference for this team. May not happen tonight because there's sure to be rust, his freshman year showed his potential. I'll be excited to have him back.

Want him back soon to see what he can bring. From a plain "confidence" point, even if ready tonight may be the wrong night to begin the road back to form!

Imagine for a moment Omar draining a 3 for his first shot against Duke tonight.

Just want to clarify that I have no idea if there's an academic issue, and was only reading into comments made by others in other threads . . .

This is definitely not the case. I do a lot of work with kids at parochial schools, and they're generally no better off academically than the local public school, and are often worse off in wealthy towns. Secular prep schools (Choate, Loomis, Collegiate, Phillips) are the ones where you generally see elite academics.

20 point performance for Omar against Lville on 6/9 shooting. Yeah we lost but but this just shows Omar can score the ball against the best of them.
