Local player miss

[minerdelic]

Good article in EP Times regarding 6'10" Daniel Amigo, the local Coronado product. A solid 14 point, 7 rebound average for University of Denver, including a 33 point effort against Air Force.

Utep didn't offer. Too slow. When Floyd is listing his various reasons for the fall of Miner basketball, he needs to go ahead and add inability to judge talent.

To be fair, in his sophomore season last year, Amigo averaged 2 points a game. He has made an incredible amount of improvement this year. Floyd was not the only one who misjudged him. He was not a very good player until this year.

Actually, he was. Compared to the skill set I see with our existing big men, he compared favorably.

Regarding player development, I have heard of that. Maybe we should try that here? Might be crazy, just a thought.

He showed a lot of potential at Coronado.

If he would have done that here he would of ended up with 'bad character.'

If he has good & healthy feet - it's good enough for me!

I believe he had a preferred walkon offer here.
