Hasquet averaged 13 points and a team-high 6.4 rebounds a game starting in 31 of 32 games this past season. He was a first team All-Big Sky Conference selection.

Congratulations to each award winner. Extra thanks to Hasquet for proving me right on his abilities. :thumb: We are in for some very special things over the next 2 years from Mr Hasquet and Rundles (3 years). Less than 5 games into the season, people were riding this kid hard, and look what he ended up doing.

Hell when the GRIZ recruited him, many thought he did not have what it took to be a key player at 1A basketball. Guess it proves to never give up on a player and the coaches no more than your average fan in most cases.

Here is to hoping Hasquet works on his ballhandling and perimeter defense in the off season. Also hoping Strait works on his FT's, footwork, and 15 ft out perimeter shot.

Also I hope Tyler Hurley will learn much from Jordan as for being an instate recruit with something to prove.

The 08 instate recruit I want to see in Maroon and Silver is Jimmy Mee from Libby.

I was right there with you on Hasquet. The naysayers seem to have become scarce.
