..in that gym thinks this is a scrimmage!! You ‘re seeing the star of the future in Kinsey!! Double double for the super-frosh!!!!!
I promise you...nobody
- Thread starter W-S HerdFan
- Start date
Love it. I wish they had that passion the whole season but I will take this. Love it love it. GO HERD!!
Two walk-ons and the last senior.
I’m just proud. Proud of the effort. Proud of the crowd. So proud to be a son of Marshall tonite!!
The cupboard isn’t bare by any stretch. Go Herd!!!

A lot of hero’s tonite. M Byers played well. Iran has big potential. West just goes down & gets it. Williams & George will be big performers next year...great time to jump on the bandwagon!!
Make sure you're using that "'s" properly, lol.
Kinsey is certainly a future star. He was a big part of that second half turn around. I also thought Bennett looked pretty good. He didn't score much but he was boxing out which is something we have not seen a lot of this year from the team and he was a presence on defense. We have some pieces in place to make a run next year we just need to add a couple more.
This year didnt go the way most of us probably wanted but it was a nice turn around and wining the CIT is a good accomplishment. The team and all the fans should be proud of the job they did. Way to finish the season.

...video from the locker room after the win...def worth a look!!
From Keith Morehouse (Twitter) :
Green Bay coach Linc Darner said he doesn’t see crowds like that in his league
Said they haven’t played in an atmosphere like that since Creighton and Michigan State

My final thoughts on this Championship night:
Trivia ? Name the last time a Marshall U. men’s basketball team cut down the nets on their home floor?
Answer: Possibly MMI, but I don’t think they would’ve..Duke will remember!!
Also - just like last season, you never know who’s watching. Mike Byers came to Huntington from watching us in the Dance...these type of positive events can produce dividends you wouldn’t think probable...kudos to (tonite) our cousin DD for making the team that got it done! Go Herd...

Awesome crowd. No way in hell there were only 5700 people there. At least 6500 or more. I thought 7K. As someone said, the field house sat 6500. No way you could stuff last nights crowd in that building. jmo.
The thing I love about Kinsey is that he has potential to be very good at both ends. He's obviously a great athlete, but when he's engaged defensively he can lock his man down. Kinsey and West together in the backcourt next year are going to create a ton of turnovers.
Dillon and Brooks-Harris are the only red shirts. They did NOT dress all season long.
Looking forward: Kinsey needs work in the weight room, and gain at most (imo) 10 more pounds. Anything more limits his verticalness (?).
Same for Brooks Harris. He prob needs 15-20 lbs of muscle. Inch taller than Taevion.
Bennett should be able to get down another 15 lbs, giving him more mobility and more minutes.
Dillon looks pretty well sized to me.
Who has scoop on some of the recruits?

of course we have Dajour signed and on board. I saw him play a game when we played at ODU in January. Real blue collar kid. He will be fine here.
Of course we see Taylor everyday. He comes in as the 2nd highest scorer in Kentucky HS history. He is penciled in to start at the PG spot
We have a commitment from Sarenac. At 6-7 and able to play virtually anywhere but the 5. Look at the video of his ball handling skills and his passing. Very impressive. All that and he averaged over 20 ppg in prep school.
We have a 7 footer that looks to be coming in. When you watch him run the floor he runs like a 6-5 guy. Very athletic and plays around the basket shooting equally as well with either hand from what I have seen. I will not mention him by name because a recruiting battle still is in process.
This is the game guy I referenced on our pay site.
I'm not overly excited about him based off what I've been told. Seems like Coach Rigot is doubling down in hopes of locking down Sarenac.
If you weren’t a member of the coaching staff
D)you could mention his name and discuss everything about the guy.
The coaching staff would rather not allow our competitors know we are on him. His name, is however, all over the pay side of Herd FansIf you weren’t a member of the coaching staff
So, Josh, are you saying that we are looking at another Sustic? Dozic? Koljanin? Dredging the bottom of the Eastern European barrel looking for another Penava is getting a little old, IMO.
Just a good reminder of how special what we have at Marshall is.
Even in C-USA, we are way above the pack in BBall support.
The only schools with the type of attendance is ODU and WKU. UTEP was when they had decent teams. With the team they have coming in, I expect to see the numbers back up there as early as next year. As you remember, when they were competitive that averaged over 9,000 per game in El Paso
See, this is one of those tangible benefits that go hand in hand with success. We get in the mix for recruits we previously wouldn’t have had a shot with. I’m really excited the direction DD is taking us!
(I know, a shocker...)

Danny has said all along that if you start and keep winning, it opens a lot of things.
It will allow us to compete for the 4-5 star players. It will get us games with P5 teams.
It will sell tickets and so on....
He has said that until that happens, we have to get the 2-3 star kids and develop them like he has been doing. It is good that he is a great evaluator and developer of talent

The last time we finished with a win was in the 1947 NAIA Chanpionship.
I'm not going to start an argument on the football program, but this is a ridiculously stupid comment.
Yep, they were the only school that could rival Memphis with support, of course we were a multiple bid conference half the time then too. Need them back up to par, along with UAB, WKU, ODU (to continue it), any of the schools that were known in the past to be decent/good with good support. We get that and we start rivaling the A10 (maybe) in power. Lots of "ifs".
The only time CUSA got multiple bids when we joined, was if Memphis didn't win the conference tournament...which didn't happen often.
Its a bit odd to see how far they've fallen since.
Great evaluator of talent?
Uhhh ?
Theineman
Sustic
Bledsoe
Koljanin
Miljovic
Allison
Nikolic
Dozic
Fire away Daninistas’

I don’t know if I’m a Dannista(?) but I’ll bite. Yes those could all be considered “misses”. I don’t know if that # is greater or less than any other coach or program? I will say that he has identified and brought in some good ones as well:
Burks
Penava
Williams
West
Kinsey
So again is that a “bad” % for a coach at a mid major? I don’t really know the answer to that. I will add that the transfers who DD has brought in have been excellent(IMO):
Kelly
Browning
Elmore
Watson
Taylor(?)
I also would like to note that the staff has identified a # of other good players only to lose them in recruiting:
Frampton-Davidson
Beran-Northwestern(?)
MacClung(Georgetown)
Ervin(Wofford)
Catoor(Wofford)
Bridges(prep school/WVU)
The boy from DC((prep school/Pitt)
Please note the last two evidently turned down MU to prep then P5. Life as a mid major?

uhhh, hey George: name a mid-major HC that has NEVER guessed wrong on a recruit? You can't foresee injuries, and you just don't know how a kid is going to turn out for so many reasons...
Forgot Robinette.
I will agree they have been able to identify talent early. Have not been able to close them though, so .......
I do think the 6’8” kid from Chapmanville would be good in this system. Runs well, blocks shots etc. losing out on Frampton hurt. He is good and would thrive in this system. The concern IMO are players who play in JUCO not being contributors. Those guys are supposed to play right away, big minutes that’s why you recruit them.

By the way - not one of the above mentioned players in first post were injured to affect their ability.
