Walk-on?

[Dawgs Bite]

Does anyone know if we officially have one?

 

[meyers7]

Officially - no
Unofficially - two

Officially - no
Unofficially - two

Is that including all the BYers who have unofficially volunteered to sign up for continuing education courses and help out in Geno's 80 on 5 practice drills?

Putting a BY team of volunteers consisting of Icebear, Doggy, Meyers7, Phil and myself on the court would instantly make Bria taller, MoJeff faster, Stef funnier, raise KML's 3 pt shooting % and allow Stewie to dunk at will....Everyone would enjoy the spectacle of the five of us in shorts and the team would realize that whatever their current issues might be, at least 5 people in the world are far worse off....

Go Huskies...!!

 

[jsloanjr]

Make sure you all have your depends on?.........LOL

 

[Icebear]

When the bear takes a spot on the court ain't no one moving the bear off the spot. They may shoot over me, go around me and a variety of other possibilities. However, no one moves the bear, not even himself. Pretty much an inanimate object too big move.

Most BYers are too old to even climb the stands.

Hey, my legs are still pretty good. Probably from carrying all that extra weight above the belt around.

That sounds BEARable.

BAREly

You get used to that after awhile.

there must be handicap access, we are talking about wheelchair basketball aren't we ?

We need girls who can go out and give a few decent minutes. Probably with the emphasis on their defensive skills. The cross country running, sprinter who also jumps can probably do that.

I was watching a Texas\Baylor volleyball game last night, and they mentioned that one of the national champ Longhorn VB players switched over to join the BB squad the day after they won the title. Possibly another source that the Huskies could look at, as there are a few VB players listed as "defensive specialists," though I guess that means they're diggers as they're all between 5'4" and 5'8," plus one of those free ranging "libero" defensive specialists, which I guess is like Kelly Faris last year. There are some other players 6'2" and over whose specialty is blocks (and I would just love to see some two-handed defensive stuffs this year) and there are some who are listed as "outside hitters" and who could be useful as enforcers in the Rutgers games.

Probably would do a better job than the BY wheel chair crew.

That's no problem, as walk-ons of all types are needed in practices. I'm sure there are a few BYers who could become expert floppers to help prepare UConn for certain teams on this year's schedule. And if we can get one halfway decent imitation of a lurchy type dive from every BYer, that will help the Huskies prepare for the ND foul collection strategy if the teams meet up in the tournament.

And even if all you can do is lie on the floor and play dead, that's good too, because likely many teams will be doing that in the 2nd half of games against the Huskies, and they need to be prepared to handle that tactic.

Kelly Faris would have been the ultimate libero.

She played in high school. Did track and field too.

So Kelly as possibly a libero might have been tasked with digging for every ball and chasing them way out of bounds to send them back for a desperation hit. Sounds like her. Or she may have been the tallest girl on her team and been a blocker and hitter.
