Lillis

[Harrier74]

Yesterday's Des Moines Register had a nice article about Brian Lillis and his team's fine win last Friday. This kid is a real scrapper - plays hard and shows some leadership ability to complement his scoring.

 

Looking forward to see this recruiting class in action.

Seemingly the Albany Men's staff has done an excellent job recruiting.

 

The first class I think the staff hit about .500 with Jamar(ROY & 2nd Team All Conference) and Levi making All Rookie. Knotts has been serviceable at times and Banks was a bust.

 

The second class Iati( candidate for ROY), Martin has been serviceable at times (I was glad to see Brown made positive comments about Martin last game in the press) and Hughes who we never got to see. So I don't think you can count Hughes so it's another .500 season 1 for 2. Plus the 2 transfers who we can't judge yet but are expected to be key players.

 

Next season's class has 4 incoming players if the staff hits .500 again they will have done an outstanding job.

 

Recruiting is an inexact science so it is interesting how good the kids coming in are and who is good for this level and who is a steal for us at this level (Jamar).

 

It is very hard to get solid big men at this level because higher levels over recruit anything big that can play. So I am extremely interested in Zoellner, Dyson and Wilson all three are the biggest kids we have had in years.
