Doorson

Deserves his own thread. Wow. He looks and plays like a beast. It must be good to be healthy because he used to be just a lumbering big men.
Very impressed and happy for him. He will be missed next year .

He really has played well this season. He physically is extremely imposing. I don't think any center in the league is going to look forward to banging with him inside

His transformation has been short of amazing. The way he moves and jumps I forget he’s a 7 footer and was like 75 lbs heavier freshman year.

First year that he's ever been healthy to practice prior to the season. He is also a terrific young man. Very nice and soft spoken.

The kid has yet to miss a shot this season. Enough said!

Dunkin' Doorson.

Was fun seeing him and Myles on the floor together for a a few minutes. We have some serious height and much better athleticism with those two guys, especially with Doorson finally being healthy.

You've nailed it. It's unbelievable how different he looks this year --he's mobile , much more agile , and gets up far quicker. It's hard to believe he's the same player we've seen these past few seasons. Total transformation -kudos to him for the determination to be a better player and to the staff for helping him achieve his goal.

Very happy Shaq stuck around for his final season.
I remember some posters hoping he would move on to open a scholarship.

Was he really 75 lbs heavier as a frosh?

Probably closer to 85 pounds heavier. Not kidding.

The young man has done everything he can to make a difference on the court during his final year of eligibility.

I disagree. I think it was nothing short of amazing. But I'm Dutch too so maybe my I'm prejudiced.

Oops thats what I meant to say

I second all of this - especially Big East Phil's comment about how great a guy he is. It just shows that you have to be patient with some players. There were some posters calling Eugene a wasted scholarship during his freshman year. It's also why we should all chill out with Montez and Caleb.
