Stock Up:
- Francis - Dude can flat out score but let's see if he can vs. high majors
- Davis - Looked better in all facets. More in control
- Grant - Will be our best player by mid-season. He's good.
- Buchanon - Start him over Badalou. Looked active, Can score.

Neutral:
- Powers - Like the steals but shots were wild, Nice FT touch
- Zrno - Couple of 3's but not much else.
- Ware - Looked decent in garbage time. He's going to pass Fall by mid-season
- Nwuli - Almost flashed, was out of control. Need to see more
- Mark - Need to see more. Didn't do anything to stand out nor anything bad

Stock Down:
- Badalau - Can't lead the team in FG attempts, particularly when he's going 1-12!
- Fall - Deer in head lights out there
- Ogbole - A less skilled version of Omuyuri - big time athelete, no basketball skills
- Dortch - He's not a 5, but can't shoot so not really a 4. Not sure his fit on the team

Note: Only 39% FG is very concerning against an AWFUL AWFUL team

Francis - I think he'll be exposed defensively by Big 10 guards.
Davis - he was this good the last few games last year.
Ware - will eventually play down a level.
Badalau - not likely to go 1-12 again.
Zrno - needs to play in a more disciplined offense.
Fall - shocking he was once a 5*
Nwuli - expected more from all I've heard .
Ogbole - just clog the middle and alter some shots.
Dortch - agree.
Mark - If Francis continues to play like tonight I don't see him getting much time.
Grant - would like to see him bang some outside shots.
Powers - going to be a really good player 2-3 years from now.
Buchanon - 30+ minutes per game - very solid starter.

Don’t agree on Ware. And we only saw him for a few minutes. But He was a well regarded recruit and to me already looked better than Fall who was lost out there - he’s just not good at all. Ware will pass him and then it’s up to him or Dortch to back up Ogbole.

One thing about Mark for the bad side was he allowed the guy he was guarding to get three or four offensive rebounds for poor/not boxing out. One positive thing for me was his body looks really developed for a frosh. He's got good size on him and should be able to handle the physicality of the B1G.

He’s going to be ok - his first game so no freshman should get too much criticism in game one - although the 2 euros ga e both played pro ball and Zrno is 21- they aren’t true freshman ….
