A Winthrop fan apparently checked out the scrimmage and had this to write:

"The UNC Wilmington scrimmage was held yesterday and all I can say is we have a long, long way to go. We (Winthrop) were completely overmatched/outmanned inside and unless our bigs step up in a hurry, we are in for a very long season. While Zach Price did not play(can"t because of no decision on his eligibility), Duby was basically sent to school by the Wilmington post players(in the first 9 minutes his man had 10 pts and 6 rebs including 3 offensive). Our perimeter players played ok although Keon Kohnson had a long day and I'm not sure he scored from the field. Josh Davenport is continuing his promising play and considering he's been out for a good bit of preseason, he's definitely looking like the sign of good things to come. All in all, our inside game needs a ton of work and I'm sure is a huge concern for the coaching staff. Our inexperience in the paint was completely exposed and could be the downfall of what was going to be a pretty promising season."

Hard to gauge how the press and guard play went. We knew that we had a good inside game though. And, this doesn't mean that Winthrop won't be good either because they probably will be. Just FYI...

Nice find, Bill.

Yemi, Ced, Chuck and CJ are an intimidating bunch of post players for any team to face. And when you consider that Dylan is just as tall as Chuck, that gives us 5 players over 6'8" with a 7 footer thrown in.

We definitely could use the depth in the post. With the way Coach Keatts' system appears to be shaping up, our big men might be gassed even with the tremendous conditioning program.
