The NIT isn't taking a Big South team as an at-large pick.I'll agree it's highly unlikely simply because to have a resume the NIT would accept would almost necessitate winning a regular season championship. I suppose it's possible if in a given year there were 2 dominant BSC teams with one coming out on top in both the regular season and the tourney and the other losing out by a hair, but having a couple of impressive OOC wins. Those wins would need to be doozies though. Even in that scenario, I doubt we will ever see 2 BSC teams in the Big Dance.

If you look at our roster its hard to argue any one player would do either. Now maybe our next step is to add one of those players to what we have.I’m going to have to say Darius McGhee.

Setting aside the points and rebounds, he drew 4 fouls in like 2 minutes. The kid trying to guard him was totally overmatched.jinxy wrote:Were def deeper and i personally like not having to rely on a clemons or cooks.

Atleast he does show fairly good ball handling skills to minimize that spread.McGhee was a volume shooter and prolific scorer his Sophomore year in Roxboro, but on a State championship team loaded with veterans at Blue Ridge last year, he was more of a role player. This year could be interesting. His athleticsm is off the charts; something we have not seen at Liberty in a long time, if ever.
Its too early to say what brendans ceiling is but at this point hes def worth a scholly and should be at minimum a role player. The ceiling could indeed be pretty high if he develops.
Dont know enough about price to make any judgments.

I have always maintained he could have been an NFL DB though. As a big man I guess I mentally put Julius in another category, but for a guy his size his speed and agility were amazing.olldflame wrote: His athleticsm is off the charts; something we have not seen at Liberty in a long time, if ever.I can accept the “long time”, but not the “if ever”.
