Top secret spy satellite photo analysis software says that the tallest person at the very back of rogobob's photo is 7.3 to 9.2 inches taller than the two tallest males to his left in the same photo. However, the same software cannot say with any certainty that the same person can play basketball worth a lick. He's just a lot taller than everyone else in the photo.

Each milk purchase also counts towards the necessary amount to donate to have access to the Titan Club room. Separately, I've long been on record as a big fan of Julian Dozier's game (little PG from UD Jesuit). He held some D1 offers including Oakland and Eastern, however at this time he seems to STILL not be signed anywhere. He was 2nd team All State for D1. He took his junior year to play at some factory type high school out in Arizona before coming back to Detroit for his senior year. My reckless speculation is somehow Julian hasn't qualified somehow/someway to be eligible this year. By all accounts a good kid, but perhaps a few credits got hung up during the prep school journey out west (if thats the case, a cautionary note for other kids contemplating that route). I am a fan of Dozier's as well. I was disappointed when he decided to leave the state, and now I am even more disappointed to find out he apparently isn't lined up for college this year. Wouldn't surprise me if you speculation was correct; academic issues related to school hopping. Something similar happened to Terry Armstrong, a player from Flint in the class of 2019. He was talented, but jumped around during his scholastic career, including a trip to Arizona on the basketball academy route. He committed to Arizona, but announced a few weeks back that he was going to forego college and play overseas. I heard from a couple of sources that he couldn't get into college based on his academics, which had been hurt by all that moving around. Players have to realize, as you move from school to school, the schools are only worried about keeping you eligible to play basketball. You lose the benefit of a consistent school academic counseling department that is making sure you are taking and passing the right courses to get into college. There was another kid from Flint a few years ago who ran into that. Had a bunch of mid major offers then went down South to a basketball factory and ended up having to go the JUCO route. Not sure what happened to him.

I’d like to dedicate this song to the Mystery Big Man.

Can you find all the Detroit Titan basketball players in the photo No. Because we don't know who some of them are. However, Isiani is front row center. Brandon and Boe Nguidjol are in the front row to his right. Justin Miller is the big guy in the white T-shirt standing on the far right. To his left are sitting Sam Hofman and Jordan Gorman. It looks like Alonde Legrande sitting one row below and to the right of Gorman. Brad Calipari is sitting at the far right in a white T-shirt. Don't know who is in the top row at the far right side. Don't know if that's a BB player below and to the right of Miller. Don't see Antoine or Curry at all. Or any really tall player. So, jddetroittitan, who do you see in the photo?

Last year's announcements: Aug 2....non-conference schedule. Aug 20...first wave of recruits Sept 5......conference schedule Today is Sept 3....no announcements at all. As to the non-conference schedule, except for the games against Kent State and SIUE, we know the where and when. We may decide to release the schedule all at once if the HL releases its conference schedule this week. Also, thanks to Twitter and the press release last year about Pink, we know pretty much the identities of the first wave of recruits. Official coaching roster was announced on Sept 25, 2018. Final roster was announced and posted on Sept 26, 2018. There is a roundball luncheon set for Sept 11th. Maybe some local posters here should attend and pepper Davis with lots of questions.

The university is probably still rounding up enough fog machines, strobe lights and pyrotechnics for the Mystery Big Man announcement. You don’t announce a signing like this just by posting something on twitter.
After all, this guy is going to change the entire landscape of the Horizon League. That’s also probably why the HL regular season schedule isn’t out yet. Clearly the staff in Indianapolis knows the identity of the MBM and they can’t even function in their jobs because the news of this 7 footer is just so shocking.

Don't forget, some schools were "scared" to schedule us because of this talent 7 footer.

Antoine is sitting on the court putting up the "westside" with his hands.

I don't think that is Antoine sitting on the floor and Hofman is not sitting he is standing below and to Millers left with the Belgium national team shirt on. I do not see Antoine, Curry or Moore.
