Calhoun said he also expects incoming shooting guard Omar Calhoun (no relation) of Christ the King to contribute right away.
“He’s more than ready,” Calhoun said. “He can score. He can score and he’s mature. He’s a real mature kid in every aspect.”

Wes Clark - 6'0 ft pg 2013

Strengths:

• Clark is a tough and competitive lead guard that posesses a great motor. He is a good leader and has a very good basketball IQ. Clark can run the team and is the extension of the coach on the floor. He attacks on both ends of the floor and plays

calhoun dodged the ACC question

His ACC "answer" was rather Belichick-like.

You guys crack me up!

Calhoun Choice #1: Say the ACC sucks and that the Big East is still a better bball conference, and then have to rescind those comments in a couple of months if we ended up going to the ACC.

Calhoun Choice #2: Say that the ACC is a quality bball conference that he would like to join with SyraPitt, and then watch EVERY media outlet report on it tomorrow that "Calhoun wants out of the Big East".

Yeah, he dodged the question.....because he's smart!

Love his game. Like his ability to attack the basket, and anyone else like that little floater at the end? Remind you of anyone?

We can already nickname this kid The General

Really like his floor game, but not sure of the level of comp he's facing there. Seems like he has a good understanding of spacing on offense, something this current group of players really struggled with. On the break he is dangerous/smart enough to pull a defender before making a pass.

Duffy should have a wes uupdate today or tomorrow

Great point and noticeable on the highlights shown. He looks away from his pass most every time and that's a lost art. And he throws the "good passes" rather than cutting the mustard all the time. Nice looking player with what would seem to be a capable stroke and midrange game also. Highlights for sure so you never know but you have to like what you see when he shares the ball!

So he can pass and has good court vision and can shoot, where are the dunks?

You're a sarcastic pup you know that?!?!

Take his highlight reels with a grain of salt. At least, I do. Just not much there IMO.
