Humboldt58 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 This is Humboldt's starting line up;AND ALL HEIGHTS ARE LEGITIMATE Point Gaurd-Charles Taylor 6'6 (can take it to the front off the rim and dunk on you) Wing-Rashad Wade 6'0 (best 3 point shooter we've ever had.) Wing-Tevin Crayton 6'6 (lean mean scoring machine) Forward-Darren Dunbar 6'4 (nice lefty stroke) Forward-Jarvis Porter 6'3 (nice moves in the paint) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCPioneer Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Toylon was more of a PG that penetrated to the basket and through up little float shots. I think the best 3 pt. shooter that I've seen shoot from Humboldt and had some range as well was Joe Shivers! I don't know if Joe went on to play college ball or not, but I know he was VERY good and capable of college ball! Taylor is good and all, but he's not a guy you want trying to break the press. Surely, Humboldt has a quicker guard that can break the press and bring it up and set up an offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen humboldt over the weekend and they looked very bad. Lost to Liberty by 20 but the lead before the subs came in was 30 by liberty. And Boliver was up by 15 without chris Reaves. So i think that the heights or over rated if u ask me. Charles is more of a 6'5 and if he can get it to front court( big if by what i seen saturday) he has a hard time even getting it to the rim. Rashad wade didn't impress me any. Tevin Crayton is 6'3 but had the best showing of any of the humboldt players. Darren Dunbar 6'2 didnt know what to do with the ball. Jarvis Porter had a so so two games. The player that impressed me was a short guard off the bench that had a nice stroke. That was one of the only highlights i've seen. I bet that charles taylor had more turnovers than points. /excl.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":excl:" border="0" alt="excl.gif" /> That isn't good for a player that need to be the focal point of your offence. I don't know what to expected out of humblodt this year. I think that ej will be missed more than humboldt thinks. By the way saw lake county play gibson county. Lake County had a shortage of players still playing football and lil ron didn't play because of a sholder stinger and still had a impressive 18 point victory. Russel played very well and so did the giles kid. The hacket kid had a good one scoring over 20. Lc will gain more deph soon as football is over. But it could be a few weeks before that will happen. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty was never up by 30 and Bolivar wasn't up by 15. Humboldt led almost the entire Bolivar game. If you are going to report on something, report facts! I think you have some players confused!

If you are going to report on something, report facts! I think you have some players confused! Even legend said in a post if I'm right that Liberty could have won by about 30 had they chose to do so..Maybe Lakecofalcon should have said 28 or close to 30 points..Lot of hype to live up to being the best team in a decade by a lot of the Viking fans..!
