Would be awesome if he could replace JFL as an athletic scorer. I wonder if his defensive instincts are as good as Javon's he seems to be every bit as athetic with good scoring instincts.

This is one of two of the most creative dunks I have seen performed by an incoming collegiate player. Both happen to be Crusaders.

A fantastic dunk for sure!  But, I don't think I have ever seen Daniel dunk in a game!

I'm really not sure what to expect from Sheldon his Freshman season. He does have the reputation of a bucket getter and a fantastic athlete. No matter how talented the player, there is a always learning curve and I'm curious what his defense is like because that we also likely predict how much we see him on the court next season and if he can stay out of foul trouble.

Regardless, I'm petty excited to see him play next seasons through social media, you can tell he really loves the game.

Have a feeling we are going to see some special highlights from him this year.

Freshman aren't freshman any longer.  Of the four new guys, only Jacob is coming right out of high school.  Sheldon and Conner did a year at prep school and Goodnews has played a couple of places and is probably 20 or 21.  They should perform more like sophomores or juniors maturity wise.  Obviously they still need to play in our system.

So just to be clear in case we hear it in a post game press conference, we're NOT a "young team," then? Just need to know where to set the expectations this year for the club.

Is Sheldon with the Team in Valparaiso or is he still in Florida?

My guess is still in Florida. I don't think incoming players come to campus until sometime  mid-August. Since they most likely will have to live on campus and couldn't sign up for summer classes not sure they could get housing or even technically be considered students until then.

Seems to me like, at the very least, he will be just as good as Golder.

Golder had phenomenal athleticism but was a bit one dimensional when his 3 wasn't falling.
