Gib has got quick guards, Nevels, and Smith, and strong heady guards with experience in Spearman and Shamburger. Wings, Harper, Jawato. Enos, who can shoot the 3 and back up , back up PG, maybe who knows, another Miah? Go Dyrbe Enos, represent the 808! That brings in a couple more hundred to SSC if Enos has part, and UH wins games.

Agree, with Gib, so obvious last year, the stable of guards. would be hard pressed to beat DII schools locally, with the PG and SG’s aside from Spearman last year.

Turn the weakness in the backcourt to a strength, with Fotu and Standhardinger, if they are beasting the BWC, along with Davis, Dressler and Jovanovich, guarding the rim, and helping on D against bigger opponents, UH, could have a very good season!

Get ready UH MBB fans, now is the time for Gib and his athletes to get to NIT or NCAA’s!

Should be fun year!

Great and Timely Review, Brian…

Five Position is Now at least Three-Deep (with Standhardinger and Fotu both tougher to back-up/support)
Not Yet As “Physical” as Vander, but better passers, quicker feet & hands, BBIQ and Temperament:
Better “Team” Players and ball movement…probably ‘better’ shooters, too (quicker, better form and range, although Vander’s percentage usually at or among team leaders)….

Three position NOT Proven or Stabilized ’til next season (NWC) or until one of the freshman (e.g., Valdes or Thomas, both with much talent and athleticism) or Nevels (undersized but tough & talented) just takes charge…

Always excited to read about Rainbow basketball. Thanks Brian, it’s never too early. Only time will tell if the Bow’s
have upgraded its talent for this year. Having Shamburger should be the biggest reason for optimism. Perhaps more importantly is if Coach Arnold improves his game. The Bows
will continue to disappoint if Coach Arnold reverts to his ” throw on the chalk board and pray ” substitutional rotation.
I know women basketball is not your beat but can you have someone report on their practices and players sometime. I think Coach Beeman has brought excitement to the Na Wahine program not seen for a long while.
