The result was as expected in this exhibition game versus DIII Peace U. Elon 98 - Peace 68. Ervin had a good night, Campbell fouls out in his first college game, Deandre Smart looks solid in his return to the court. I'd like to hear others' take on the game if you attended.

Campbell is a big body and I hear he has been doing great in practice. I expect he will come around. He looked nervous to me but I think with more playing time he will be a solid player. VEry impressed with Deandre Smart. Was a huge fan of his last year before he went down. He plays very aggressive inside, which we have needed for some time. He is also a big body and I think he will be a huge contributor if he stays healthy. I like Dorn's size and aggressive defensive play. He is not afraid to shoot the ball, that is for sure. I think he is a nice addition as well. Appears to be very athletic and should only get better. Zac had an amazing game. His big problem in his time with Elon has been inconsistency, so we will see how he moves forward. Max played decent, I think he will be fine and give us more of what we saw last year. Jadun Michael was aggressive early and played decent but I do not see him as a starter. I would rather have Zac or Smart starting in place of him. Was not impressed with Higgins play but it is one game. The Hull kid is a walk on and looked very comfortable with his playing time. Curious if that time continues when a couple of other guys become healthy and are ready to play.SImpkins struggled in the first half but got some like in second half. I believe he is a JUCO transfer. He was very aggressive in second half and forced a lot of shots. I think he will come into his own as a decent reserve. LA Pratt saw some good minutes and looked ok. I think he is continuing to develop.Sherry is said to be out two more weeks so he will miss a couple of games. I wanted to see Isaac Harrell and Grant Gondrezick II but neither of them were dressed for the game. Overall the performance was about what I expected. A lot to be excited about I think. We certainly will have a better feel after a couple of games. I think there is a lot of talent on this team and with the addition of Brayden Crump next year things may be looking up.I am excited to see how this team comes together. I think it is possible we finish better than our predicted 10th place finish.

Smart was really impressive. A double double in 17 mins of play. I'm also excited about Dorn. He has the potential to be really good really fast.
I never feel great after these games, because they don't tell you a whole lot. I was concerned with how poorly we defended in the paint against a considerably smaller team. In fact, Peace had 4 blocks to Elon's zero. I know Sherry didn't play, but we're going to need Campbell to be an even bigger presence. He has the size, just needs to get comfortable.
Go Phoenix!
