[NU Sports] Off-center

[cherron604 at aol.com]

This information may be tough to come by, but do we have documented cases of BC developing players, either through the off-season weight room or other measures, to show substantial improvement in the next season ?? Substantial meaning a so-so player gets some all-conference talk the next season, etc ?

Chuck Herron?? Tech '85

Maybe Evan Eschmeyer will work with Rawley and Mirkovic in the off-season on 
technique.? Bummed by last night's result, but we fought back, on the road at 
that.? Atleast we have a future.? How many times have we said that in the last 
...bazillion years?? As it was, the teams that went to the NIT were laden with 
upper classmen.? Not the case this season.

? GO CATS!!??????? Eric

<IMHO we have our inside big man, but they all need a summer in the weight room?
?
The weight room will not turn Kyle Rowley into an athlete. Last night, he was 
just as slow, clumsy, and confused as the kid who played the first game of the 
season. I hope to the devil he makes himself into an effective center, but I 
don't think he has the innate physical skills to become that. He is 
inexperienced and reportedly has a great work ethic. So, who knows? But it's 
only a wish that he will ever offer a substantial positive effect on the team's 
success. I would love to say I was wrong.?
?
Mirkovic has better potential and the weight room will help him, but I saw no 
signs of future excellence from him as I did with Shurna. Think of the 
possibilities if we had gotten just two more defensive boards a game to deny 
opponents second chance-opportunities and gotten the same number of offensive 
boards and put-backs. That's an eight-to-twelve-point differential, folks, and 
another half-dozen wins.?
?
I'm looking forward to seeing an even more mature Michael Thompson next season. 
He was the team's most improved player and better controlled at the end than he 
was at game one. And is Coble ready for first-team Big Ten honors next year? If 
Nash can become a reliable offensive player, he could be team MVP next season.?
?
At least there is something to look forward to, but it doesn't appear that will 
be at the center position. That may ultimately be our undoing. ?
