Guest coachacola Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 [quote]The first player off the bench for the Lamar University men's basketball team tonight might be a 6-foot-11 center who could not jump high enough to put down a two-handed dunk less than two years ago.Much has changed since then for junior Coy Custer, once a coaching project if there ever was one. Custer finished his redshirt freshman season in 2008 looking a biscuit shy of 300 pounds.So pay attention to Custer's trimmed physique when he steps on the floor early in the first half of LU's season-opening game against Huston-Tillotson tonight at the Montagne Center.[/quote]http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/local/custer_works_way_in_to_lu_playing_rotation.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNLV Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I think Custer should start, but he could also shine brighter off the bench vs the other team second team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year's combo of Nwevo/Custer will be a lot better than last year's combo of Worrell/Custer. And if Brown and/or Wesley are able to contribute then Roc will have a lot of depth inside.

Lazeek Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nwevo better than Worrell?? Come on I thought you were smarter than that. At least Worrell had some offensive ability. He would nail a 12 footer jumper with the best of them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest coachacola Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nwevo has improved every year he played. He got hurt half-way thru his 3rd year so he barely played at the end of that season. That was the year LU went 13-3 in conference but faded at the end because Barrow and Nwevo got injured. I'm not saying Nwevo is a great player but he'll give the team a good solid 15-20 minutes at the post position. Worrell was injured a lot last year, so was Custer, that's why this year's Nwevo/Custer combo will be better than last year's Worrell/Custer combo (assuming that they stay healthy this year).
