Mykal Riley

[TiderinArkansas]

Very good addition to the team IMO.

Just impressed with a lot of things about him. A pretty good perimeter shooter, good defensively, good size for a two guard (and because of that he's a good 3 when Gee's out), great rebounder for a perimeter player, and he's a better ballhandler than I expected and isn't a turnover waiting to happen.

Also just seems like a smart player, don't see him doing all that many stupid things.

Not saying he's a star or anything, just a consistent, good overall player.

Mykal is a good team player and can create for others well. He is a GREAT pickup for Bama and will only continue to improve! Great shot on him!

 

[Whiz]

He is what we had hoped Jean Felix would be. This team is loaded.

Felix did get after it on the defensive end, but a streaky shooter.

Not many better at D than Jean.

After Felix's season last year, I kinda hoped he would find his way down to Miami's D-league team. They have good shooting coaches and they would help perfect his shooting form, and he has that Pat Riley defensive mentality like a former Riley product: Bruce Bowen.

How about another Pat Riley product and Bama player Keith Askins?

 

[lorange]

He will be a major factor in our developing into a superior team. We have a lot of potential on this team if Ron Steele can recover from his injuries.

 

[LP-HSV]

About Ron, the NC State game was a good sign. He looked far better than the ND game and played much more than he did against USM. He appears to be improving quickly now.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Agree. He's just lost a bit of the razor edge of quickness. It'll come back...

u got that right

 

[hightide5]

Steele seemed a lot fresher and more confident in the state game. I did not notice him limping once and that was great.

Riley is our most consistent perimeter player right now. With Ron's injuries he has not been his usual consistent self. Riley was a great pickup that can shoot and play D. I think we need to get him in the weight room because he looks pretty skinny.
