It would be nice to get an update from the athletic department on which players will be participating in the Kenner league this summer. Mason's site has an article about 11 of their players playing and their team assignments.

Also playing in Kenner League:

DC Raiders:   Darren Buchanan:
Tombs:  Trey Autry,  Garrett Johnson
TBD:  Antoine Smith

just to drop the propaganda in the title.  

Did anyone see Harvey abd Buchanan play today? How did they play? Buchanan stats will pretty good except for free throwns and three-pointers. Harvey, also, a little trouble from 3.

Buchanan was impressive and was arguably the best player on the court. His first half was way better than his second half but one aspect of his game I was impressed with was his passing. Harvey couldn't really find his groove and the fact that the threes didn't fall spelled trouble for him

Here is a link to the postgame interview with Keegan Harvey after the game. It looks like the interviewer (Erin Brown) played for GW's women's team last season. Below that is the photo of MG14's link

Good find. He's got the "less structure" about Kenner League down right.
   Really good to hear Keegan is still trying to gain weight and muscle and expand
his "physicality." 
  And especially when he says he wants to also play down low. We really need him to do so, as
we are big-man challenged. Believe we have shooters this year.
  Keegan can make a difference, especially if he can use his height for defense
and rebounds. 

I attended the 2:15 game to watch Trey Autry, Garrett Johnson and Keegan and the 3:30 game to watch Christian Jones.  Unfortuhately, Trey, Garret and Christian were not present.  That is the risk you take when you go to see Kenner League games.  But I will talk about Keegan.  By my notes, he did have 20 points on 8-13 shooting (4 dunks, including the game winner) and was 4-6 from the line.  He also had 3 rebounds, 2 blocked shots, an assist and a turnover.  He did pass nicely and even though he had only the 1 assist, a couple of his passes resulted in the recipient being fouled and going to the line.  Notwithstanding the gaudy stats, I was not overly excited as most of his points were layups as a result of his being probably 5 inches taller than the tallest defender.   He did not look physically stronger (I was happy to hear on his post game inteview that he is working on his strength and trying to bulk up some), still isn't a rebounder, he is slow and his hands were not good and he is hardly a rim defender.  He is not scoring inside like that during the regular season and he missed his only 2 three pointers.  Still, it was exciting seeing him as the star of the game.  He was also really into the game, yelling encouragement to his teammates and showing excitement.

We have an almost GW in Ismael Massoud, who I believe is the K State transfer and friend of Max who GW sought.   He is #31 in purple.  Saw him play briefly on Sunday.   A bull with a 3 point touch.  Would have been nice.  Yet another reason to hate Ge**getown, as if we need any more reasons.   I did speak with an older, knowledgeable fan of Ge**getown and he seems to be fairly sure that a resumpton of the rivalry is not far off.   This same fan spoke  very highly of Buchanan, whom he saw play on Saturday.  Said that there was fear in in some colleges that would have otherwise been interested that he may have a weight problem but I am not sure if he was referring to out of high school or in the portal.   Another person who saw him play on Saturday said he looked like a very good rebounder.    Take all of this with a grain of salt, of course.

Here at LSF’s urging. 

Trey obviously didn’t get the Kenner memo.  He’s passing, playing D, setting  picks, and discussing the finer points of the rule book with the refs.
