Do they use 2 or three basketballs at Carroll??in conf games

He definately could play three, but at Carroll he is the two as Jeff Hays as the three position pretty much locked up. Gular is a very good overall player. I believe he led the Frontier in Steals and maybe blocks from his two guard spot. Who does that?

Also, was Henkel playing with the Carroll guys in Butte? I heard he was going to and wondered how that went.

Henkel played over at the tourney with a team of Carrol guys. He sat back and didn't shoot very much in his first two games, which they won. In the first game, however, he picked apart the defense with very precise passing and had 10 assists at halftime. I believe he ended up with at least 15 assists.

Carrol's only loss of the tourney was against a couple of Tech players, Kenny Herbst and Davin Blixt. These two had a bunch of buddies from Miles City Community College come over to help round out the team as well as Chris Mosbacher. Henkel had about 17 points in this game scoring most of points at the basket. Gular had 20 in the first half but only 1 in the second. Mosbacher scored the most for the other team with 20 in a great athletic battle with Gular.

In Carrol's last game, Henkel went off with 5 or 6 threes. He ended up with about 27 points and finally looked like the determined scorer that he used to be in high school. This outburst was against a very talented team of players that I believe came out of Great Falls (someone said that they were all on the Argo team but couldn't play due to poor grades).

In all, I believe it was a very successful weekend for Henkel as he got acquainted with his new teammates and impressed them and Coach Turcott with what the coach said was, "very unselfish and heady play."
 
who's this mosbacher, does he play anywhere? I remember there was a mosbacher a couple of years ago from missoula, I don't remember him being much of hoops player. Is this the same guy, or maybe a relative. Explosive-you're from Missoula, do you know this guy who battled Gular?
 
Mosbacher played at Missoula Sentinel. He then went to Division 2, Northwest Nazarene University and did track and basketball. He left Northwest this year after the first semester and is rumored to be enrolling at the U of M next year to run track.
Mosbacher was a decent ball player. Good athlete. Henkel said he looked pretty good over in Butte, but he said Mosbacher has a pretty bad taste in his mouth concerning college basketball after Northwest Naz.. I've seen him play with the Griz these past few summers and he's definitely better compared to his high school days and could easily play Frontier ball.
 
what kind of frame does this mosbacher have? Explosive you seem to know him, or at least Henkel, why would mosbacher sit out a season to transfer up? Why not go to a frontier school and give hoops another shot. If he can d-up gular I bet there's some schools that could use his services.

I've heard rumors that the 6'9" Nelson is looking to transfer from EWU. A source close to Turcott said Nelson is looking at a few California schools, but would consider Carroll because Nelson and Henkel are good friends. If you've talked to Henkel, or are going to talk to him can you substantiate any of this.

If Carroll gets a big kid with soft hands and good footwork they could be flat out dominant. Might even give the Cats and Griz all they could handle.
 
Turcott also loves working with a good big guy, and can make them much better players i.e. J.D Soloman
this could be another factor in Nelson's decision

What he has done with Gustafson has been a flat out miracle.
 
If Nelson were to come to Carroll, nobody in the Frontier will touch Carroll, for at least two years...and Lynch being better than Paulson??? I don't think so...
 
Mosbacher is 6'5" and very long and lanky.

Nelson is looking at a few schools, and Eric hasn't said anything about him going to Carrol. They have been roommates the last couple years so I believe they would love to stick together, however I haven't heard anything about Nelson coming over to Carrol. He has already quit the team at Eastern though.

Carroll has no scholarships available for next year.

Mosbacher wouldn't have to sit out a season if he transferred to the U of M to do track.

Also I know the kid and he has said that the only way that he'd consider Carroll is if they gave him a full ride, which isn't going to happen. He isn't that interested in playing hoops anymore because he says that the program at his old school treated him like garbage. He has said he is giving Western a good amount of thought because he really likes the laid back atmosphere and is good friends with Derek Hibbert, his old Sentinel teammate.

I've heard from a few people that he really played well over at the Tech tourney and improved a lot from his high school days.
 
mosbacher could easily play at any frontier conference school. he is way better now then he was in high school and yes he is also even more explosive then guler. i have played against both and i would rather gaurd guler. mosbacher is out on going to western because hibbert isnt playing next year so i heard he is just going to do track for the u of m.

Thanks for the laugh. :o
 
Lynch is better then Paulson hands down. Paulson is a great coaches son who is a good leader on the floor. Great hustler will do anything for the team. Paulson is good. Lynch is better. He is a better ball handler, passer, and esspecially scorer then Paulson. IF he went to Carroll, he would would do very well. The bottomline is the frontier is a step down in talent and that is the difference. You will see Lynch putting up some numbers next year and it won't be for Carroll or the Griz.
 
how are you so sure? i dont even like paulson. he is arogant and cocky but that doesnt mean he is not a good ball player. he is better then lynch. all lynch has is his last name and money. paulson held together the second best team in naia and one of the best teams the frontier has ever seen. he defends passes hustles does all the small things that a team needs to win that most people are not aware of unless they truly know the game. obviously you dont.
 
Yo whiz I think I pretty much said what you said about Paulson: does what ever the team needs and every team needs those kind of players. Last years team was not the best team in Frontier history. The team with JD Solomon, Stilles, Lynch and Gamradt were better. The difference this last year was Carroll added an assistant coach who can prepare for a team better then any coach in the state at any level.

So how many baskets can money and a last name get you? That has nothing to do in comparing Paulson and Lynch. I thought you knew something about basketball and could stay away from such steakhead comments.

PS.... Paulson is neither arogant or cocky.
 
money and a last name cant make you a shot and that is exactly why lynch had the lowest fg% on the team. the only reason he was even on the griz was because of his family background and money donations. and i always that you counted a coach in as being a part of a good team. carrols team last year would have beat the carrol team with styles solomom and gamradt. whatever your excuse is, a new coach, they still would have beat them therefore they ae a better team then the team you are talking about was. how far did that team go into nationals. oh yea. lynch is a point gaurd that isnt a very good ball handler or passer and a shooting gaurd with the worste percentage on his team. yeah he is really good.

Paulson is better at every phase of the game other than shooting, and that can be debated at this point. Most would agree its not really even close. As someone who has been around Carroll and the frontier for the past fifteen years, I think Carroll's team last year was their best. They were easily the best defensive team and didn't care who was scoring. Their balance inside and out was also very good and they were top five in the country in rebounding margin, mostly due to bigger and longer bodies at the two and three positions. Adding Keller didn't hurt Carroll I'm sure. But before we give him too much credit, let's realize that Turcott has now won frontier championships with four different assistants. As wacky as he is, he's improved considerable as a coach over the years and needs to receive his due.
 
loyalgriz, I thank you for the civil explanation on your opinion. You are probally right about the Carroll teams. I do not follow them as closely as when I lived there. You have been watching them for sometime and I trust your knowledge. I also will agree the book is still out on Paulson and Lynch. I have played with both players and in my opinion Lynch is better all around player. Time will only tell.
