This guy is a stat stuffer! Very good get! Now go get Evans or Enis or the Oklahoma kid and an athletic 6-9 kid that can pass and rebound!

Either Evans or Enis or the Oklahoma kid would be GREAT; more than one of those would be ORGASMIC. Add a little beef to that, and we would have ourselves a competitive team.

Even with who's already been signed, watching free throws go in the basket is going to take some getting used to, but I'm ready for it.
 

“Bobby Durkin has great size for his skill set,” Shaw’s scouting report read. “A legit wing, he has a smooth jump shot with a repeatable release and excellent balance. Durkin is able to get into his shot off the bounce or off the catch. He can create space for himself off the live dribble. Durkin is an excellent passer, with vision from multiple spots on the floor.

“He can secondarily initiate in the half-court or create shots as the shot clock winds down. Lateral quickness will be a question, but he gives effort and has an IQ on the defensive end. Durkin is a good rebounder and has an innate toughness. He is someone who could outplay his ranking in college. Durkin averaged 18.4 points on the UAA Next Circuit.”

when I hear his name, I can't get this 50s rock vibe out of my head

I could hear it, blaring out of a transistor radio.

Here's Bobby Durkin and the Defenders with their smash hit - Ball Movement!

Close...it was actually a B-Side track on an early Liberace album called "Jerkin' a Gherkin for Bobby Durkin". Not much radio play back in the conservative 50's, though. The song rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

Nice to see the roster starting to take shape and also nice to see some promising transfers coming in that have a chance to be around for multiple seasons.

Obviously in this era of roster jumping there is no guarantee guys will stick around for more than one season but as opposed to a lot of the 1 year guys Johnson brought it it is nice to see guys who at the very least have the potential to stick around.

Give him a 5 o’clock shadow and scruffier hair and I think he’d be a great doppelgänger for Booger from Revenge of the Nerds.
 





Aggregator or not, Gopher Crew tells us. Positive points towards the trust quotient!

That and the crystal ball.😉
 

I love the enthusiasm and Pollyanna responses, but before we get too crazy let’s take a wait and see approach. I recognize through the BJ era anything positive at all was warranted, but I want to see how he can handle the B1G before getting too excited. People on here saying Huge get and Very good get need to take a breath. It’s encouraging but let’s be realistic. Patience my friends. We can say encouraging…
