Where Are They Now? Former Player Results and News

[Billyboy78]

Glad he's getting some run, but he hasn't been all that impressive in these games. Hopefully, he's making a good paycheck from it.

The actual basketball and emphasis of the Big 3 seems to have shifted as well. While most rosters still have an Old Timer you've heard of (Kuran's team has Jodie Meeks and Leonardo Barbosa), most of the league's best players are 25 to 32-year-old guys just on the cusp of NBA basketball. The league's current leading scorer is journeyman Kevin Murphy. If you're jonesing for some post-up basketball though, it's a good game to tune into.

Leandro Barbosa was the fastest player with the ball I'd ever seen, but that was ages ago. Is he still fast?

He turns 40 in November not as fast as Fatts now

I think Rocket Rod Foster is the fastest player I've seen.

He's more shifty than fast now, but both games I've seen, he got hurt during the game.

I saw that Drums just turned on the TV as his segment started , he’s a very good analyst

Nice interview for Delroy on ESPN

[bwerner10]

What is Delray playing on ESPN currently? He doesn’t get enough credit how good he was for us.

[ramster]

Nice interview of Delroy pre-game on ESPN
He led his team last night to win their Bracket and now go yo the Final 8.

Delroy had team highs with 14 points, 7 rebounds plus 2 assists and 2 blocks

Didn’t realize Del is 35 now. Time flies.

[ramster]

Didn’t realize Del is 35 now. Time flies.

And at 35 he is playing some excellent basketball.
Love seeing how guys like Delroy and Cutino Mobley can still play at a high level and maintains such good conditioning at their ages.

EC Mathews and Blue Collar U will be playing The Nerd Team in the third round of TBT. Syracuse bracket

Isn't really shocking - they're kinda going the way of Jermaine Harris.

High projection, didn't pan out.

One trick ponies who'd have been good in the 90's - or if they had the aptitude (or family support) to learn a new trick.

The talent may be there, and their size is attractive to many schools.
Unfortunately, they were in need of an attitude adjustment.

They had issues at Maryland which weren't tolerated, and the comments directed at the HC by their mother were cause for concern.
They needed to be held accountable instead of being coddled and enabled.

Interesting that our former commit Abou Ousmane, who had a change of heart when the twins decided to come here, seems to be thriving at North Texas.
He started every game at center last season, had solid stats, and they had an excellent year finishing 1st in C-USA (25-7, 16-2 conference) and going to the NCAAT.

I’m pulling against the Hogs this year , never liked Muss from that stunt he pulled v us and the Mitchell’s are easy to root against

Two Rhody guys going head to head tonight on ESPN2 @ 7pm in the The Basketball tournament.

Americana for Autism takes on Florida TNT as both won their Regionals going 3-0. Tournament is now down to 8 teams

Big man Delroy James going up against big man Johnathan Holton.

Holton has averaged 8 points, 8.7 rebounds and is 3-7 3Ps

James has averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds and is 1-4 3Ps

[RhowdyRam02]

Well at first I thought I might be conflicted with URI guys going head to head, but I think I'll be just fine pulling for Delroy James over Johnathan Holton

[ramster]

Either way, it’s some interesting basketball viewing in July

Now down to 8 teams, each having won their Regional Bracket

Winner gets $1,000,000

Semifinals are Saturday at 4pm and 6pm

Championship game next Tuesday August 2nd at 8pm!! On ESPN

[ATPTourFan]

Pre-tax shared amongst the team?

[ramster]

Pre-tax shared amongst the team?

The teams decide. Last night they showed on broadcast that one team had decided to split the winnings $55,000 each - included players, coaches, etc.

And of course, bigger than the $ million for some players is the great publicity they are getting for Landing overseas professional contracts and/or increasing their bargaining power in negotiating their overseas contracts.

It would have been fun to see EC go up against some of those Dayton guys again. He was playing great earlier in the tournament.

I miss watching this jumper

[ramster]

Americana for Autism wins 78-75
Will go to the Championship Game!!

Congrats Delroy James!!! And the entire team!

[PeterRamTime]

Love Delroy!

Hes being interviewed right now with a bass pro shops hat on

[ramster]

Blue Collar U wins 74-69 over Red Scare

Wes Clark with 22 points. He is from Romulus Michigan and played for Nate Oats along with EC Mathews.

EC Mathews was on the bench for BCU tonight but not dressed to play, as was the case last game as well.

Nate Oats recruited and coached many of the BCU Players at Buffalo. Oats is having his assistant coach at Alabama Coach the BCU Team.

So it's Blue Collar U vs Americana for Autism in the Championship Game from Dayton Arena Tuesday night!!

[rhodylocal]

Will be fun to see Delroy and EC playing against each other if EC is healthy for the game!

[ramster]

EC has only played in one game, and only a few minutes. Doubt he plays much in tonight's championship game.

Correct. In all games but one EC was not dressed to play, just been on bench. So it’s odd how some were hyping the game like it’s Delroy vs EC, yet doubtful that was going to happen. Obviously they haven’t been watching TBT games or tracking the box scores.

Good news is EC still gets a cut of the $1,000,000. And Delroy James has a lot to be proud of and he got a lot of interviews on TV because of his play and his dedication to raising money and attention for Autism

Too bad the Championship was not much of a game as BCU easily won by 22. Great Tournament though as there were many close, well played games.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

I'll always wonder what might have been for Delroy if he played for a real coach.

Sad that Delroy lost :*( he's one of my all time favorites. His Nevada game is the most dominate game I've seen from a Rhody player in my years of watching.

I wonder how some of these TBT teams stack up against some college teams. Because the play is a little rough sometimes even though they're pro's.

I'm pretty sure they'd smoke all but the best college teams, given adequate practice time and roster construction. There's a fairly decent jump from college to most pro leagues, plus the pro league teams would have a depth advantage.

[Rhody72]

The knee injury was devastating to EC's basketball career and robbed URI of an all-time great player,

Yeah you would think that, but I was just remembering how that undefeated Gonzaga team looked and the Baylor team that beat them looked and was like, these TBT teams don't look anywhere near as good as them.

Thanks for posting 22.
Glad that TJ landed a position and back home in Michigan.

[Jdrums#3]

Great for TJ. Go EMU.

Maybe TJ will pass this way again. Hope so as he’s an excellent Rhody ambassador.
