today. Trying to tout the point that he can make the same type of leap that Q made from frosh to soph.

Not the first time I've heard that I think it's an angle the staff is purposefully pushing to motivate Elbert.

Would be nice....we'll see.

You're talking to a big Elbert fan here...but I don't see it. You can't teach 7'1 300 with some athleticism and a feathery soft touch. However, he completely does NOT fit our offense. It's just natural someone that big will be slower and not have as much stamina. I've seen a few practices this offseason, once he didn't practice (presumably because of injury), the other 2 when he was in he basically destroyed Darcy, but that was for about 5 plays. And Darcy hit a couple 3's because Elbert can't move away from the basket. Elbert would have killed it for John Brady.

With all that said, if he can give us 4 minutes of solid non-suck basketball a half, it will go a long way for the season.

Nice article. But.......... I attended practice two weeks ago and he was very unimpressive. Still is flat footed and lacks the quickness to get in proper position to play D or O at this level. Here's to hoping he continues to work hard and contribute before he leaves.
