Two things I see to be true.
Dylan Harper is a superior player, poised, and ready beyond his years. Probably best freshman i have seen play at Rutgers since Phil, although Bailey and Hinson ended their freshmen years as major forces.
Dylan Harper is still a freshman and he will make mistakes.
We had taken control in the second half, up 9 when Dylan missed a 3 early in the possession. I said then we were in for a dog fight. Crazy as it seems I felt a momentum shift coming in the same day i did when we missed the dunk against Houston. Next possession, Dylan took it inside and missed, again quickly, and SPU was all up in our grill until the end.
Neither okay was terrible but that did not reflect a feel for time and score.
It didn't cost us today, because we were the better team and grabbed the grant at the end. With Dylan's help.
He will win many games for us this year. He neat just us an occasional one too.
And he will help us to have a very enjoyable season this year.
Just hold both of those conflicting notions at the same time and enjoy this wonderful ride.
Oh yeah, i can't wait to see Ace out there too.
