1. Larry - He's playing great; all phases of his game are firing on all cylinders. Definitely the most exciting Cowboy of my memory. My only gripe is when he's got someone that he can abuse in the post he needs to demand the ball (maybe that is a coach or teammate issue).
2. J. Adams - Playing great since conference started. He's unstoppable in transition and a beast of a perimeter defender. Probably the second most exciting Cowboy of my memory lol. If he can keep shooting from the outside like he has been lately we'll be unstoppable. He's had a few silly TOs the last couple games and gambles on steals that puts us in bad positions on D, but that's a risk I'm willing to take with him.
3. Grabeu - Played awesome vs Boise. He's been slumping for a while from deep, but he's too good of a shooter to slump for too long. Thank goodness for his FTs. That makes it really easy to ice-away games at the end. He's playing great and I'd like to see him create and drive a bit more. Cut out the silly TOs of the last two games and he's golden.
4. Cooke - I think he's playing the best ball of his career. He's defending like a beast and rebounding like a beast. His offensive game around the hoop looks refined and I love his highlight dunks. He also needs to cut down on the silly TOs. He is an integral part of our success.
5. Hankerson - Playing really well. Awesome three point shooter (he must be freaking strong to launch true jumpers from as deep as he does). I think good things usually happen when he creates, but we have better options for that. He's a good rebounder and defender. I'm really glad we have him this year. I don't get how he is so bad at FTs this year, though.
6. Bench - Herndon and McM are the most valuable bench pieces this year. Herndon has problems defending the post and gets pushed around on rebounds cuz he's so skinny. Herndon needs a syrup i.v. or something to get him some mass. I would like to see Herndon be more assertive on offense, maybe try at least one or two threes a game, he's a dang good shooter. McM, solid, keep it up. Seven deep is all you really need in college basketball, anyway. Our young guys, I think, are really good. Hope no one gets discouraged because they are not seeing the court much. Just wait a year and you will.
7. Coaches - Love them. We are lucky to have such awesome coaches.
Go, Cowboys!!
