by the way if you are watching Belmont v.Murray St., u are seeing another OH kid everyone missed on: Belmont's center, Nick Muszynski from Columbus St.Charles. Chalk another one up for Rick Byrd. He had this kid committed early. Byrd raved about him in this year's Blue Ribbon Yearbook. Wasn't a big star...maybe one of top 10 or so kids in the Cbus area last year. Only honorable mention all state. Now he very easily could be OVC freshman of the year.
Muszynski had 20 points tonight on 10-13 shooting, 4 boards, 6 assists, 3 blocks. Murray's center is a slow overweight 300 pounder who can't jump over a phone book, so that was in Muszynski's favor but still having a great year.
Morant tried to play on the bad wheel and that is not a good idea. He came back out of the locker room after presumably having the ankle re-taped and gave it his best try, but he was a shell of his non-injured self. For his long term health, playing him on the bad sprain was a really questionable thing to do.
But back to Muszynski. THAT is the kind of player Saul should have been taking a chance on. His recruiting seems to be kind of random and "catch as catch can." Maybe when a new coach comes in, there will be a blueprint for who to recruit and why.
