Finally the Basketball websites are updated. Take a look at our new team members and updated pics of last year's players.

Like the updated photo of this year's team.  However I still want to know why ALL of the players do not wear the gold/yellow shoes.  I think they look great.  I do not understand why not only VU, but some other schools, allow players to wear whatever type/color/style they want as long as they are manufactured by the respective school's contracted supplier.  I think the gold/yellow shoes are very unique help our overall uniform appearance.

I'd imagine shoes are a pretty personal piece of a player's uniform. In my mind it would be like making all tennis players play with the same racket. People like or need different fits and types of support based on arch and foot size.

One of Micah's friends sub-tweeted Javon's post and Javon's Mom responded to the tweet. I understand wanting to support your friend but it's not right to @ his freshman teammates post.

Micah's friend doesn't look very old. Like you said, he's a little defensive about his bud getting upstaged by a freshman. That's what kids do. Not a big deal. Javon's mom handled it beautifully.

BTW, as someone who played 3 sports through HS and loved every minute, let me say this. EVERYONE wants to start. I never once thought about anything but. Even as a sophomore, I never willingly deferred to anybody older. I'm sure Javon and Micah and everyone of our guys are every bit as competitive that, maybe more. We wouldn't want it any other way, would we?

Are they even remotely the same position?

Like how impressed coach is of the b-ball IQ that Javon possesses.  Mentioned junior or senior level basketball IQ on the floor!

Unfortunately the three that would have tied the UIndy game did not go down. If Fazekas, Evelyn and Javon Freeman don't shoot better in the road games at West Virginia, Western KY (Myrtle Beach) George Washington and UNLV we are in for some really big losses this OOC season.

We've built our team around strong rebounding? Could've fooled me.

Yeah, this was poor timing for the release of this video. I was shaking my head when I heard rebounding and strong outside shooting. I think the outside shooting should be improved but we are likely to get killed on the boards this season.

I don't even think it's poor timing it's just a ridiculous statement to anyone who has watched this team. Our rebounding was terrible last year too. Maybe guys like Lavender Freeman Golder etc are strong for their position but none of those guys can even hold a candle to Tywon Pickford. Up front and as a collective this is not a good rebounding team and there's really no way to conclude otherwise.

Good article.  Noticeable just how poor of 3-point shooters (historical) our current roster of guards are by reading this article.  No bueno....
