Sensley was a big “get” for Hawaii according to Andy Katz.

His signing made the radio version of “Sportscenter”.

What I remember about Julian is the same as what I remember about Rodrick Fleming: The best player on the team is not the hardest-working one.

At least Sensley put up better numbers.

Rodrick Fleming would actually show up on the NBA Mock Draft put together by NBAMockDraft.net. Middle second round.

Fleming needed Bill Ames’ heart.

Ames is my only positive memory of the Bob Nash era.

I agree that would have been a great back court, but as I remember, we were able to offer Julian Sensley a scholarship because English left? I’m wondering what the next three years would have been like with Julian. But who knows?

Chris Gaines: academically ineligible. The late Chris Gaines.

Conference opener against Air Force: Phil Lott hits the game-winning shot from the baseline as a freshman.

Phil Lott had an unorthodox looking shot but it worked for him.

He was a hypothetical fifth round NBA draft pick, I remember reading.

Riley Wallace had a pretty good string of guards who could shoot, really shoot.

Imagine a backcourt of Michael Kuebler, Matt Lojeski, and a senior Carl English.

Back-to-back-to-back. It would have happened.

This guy have characteristics that coaches love. He has athleticism, he has length and most importantly…he has work ethic. Guys like him will work hard and put forth great effort. That is all you can ask for…right?

I get the feeling he will make all those who doubt him eat crow. I can see a Phil Lott clone in Brandon Thomas.

Welcome to the Warrior Ohana Brandon!

Brandon seems to be the real deal. We got a great core; just need some inside presence…

I’d throw in Zane Johnson, Bo Barnes, Garrett Nevels, Negus Webster-Chan and Stefan Jankovic as some pretty good shooters of recent vintage. And Jack Purchase is right there, too. But Johnson is the record-holder.

Remember how another Brandon; Brandon Jawato would line-drive his three point shot attempts?

No arc, whatsoever.

Of all people, it was Mike Thomas who came up big against Maryland. That performance changed my opinion of the incoming senior. I am looking forward to seeing his younger brother play. Welcome aboard, Brandon.

We need consistent three-point shooting.

Hawaii hasn’t had a true pure shooter since Matt Lojeski.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

VCU?

Wouldn’t Alberts have to fight for playing time?

I thought the point of him transferring was to apply his high major talent to a low mid-major program, where he can, hypothetically, dominate, like Noah Allen did to a certain extent.

Florida International makes more sense. It’ll be easier to take if he chooses the Golden Panthers over UC-Davis or Long Beach State.

If Mike Thomas is the “Rock”, is Brandon Thomas the “Scissors”?
