A great showing by some of the Panthers on night one of the Pro-Am.

Marlon Ruffun with 23 pts
DeAndre Ambram with 16 pts, 10 rebounds, 5 blocks

Carson Warren-Newsome with 27 pts, 7 assist, 6 rebounds
Vance Johnson with 21 pts, 5 rebounds

Now that paperwork is in we will also be adding: Will Sessoms, Jamar Madge and Te'Jon Lucas

We also have former Panthers playing... Akeem Springs, Anthony Hill, Myles McKay, Dan Studar...


Come out and watch them play on Thursday & Friday night at MSOE!

Thanks to IWB, we just found out another guy on the roster.

I also read that Coach Baldwin was all three games at MSOE this past Monday night.

Yes -There were four guys registered for Pro-Am, Ruffin, Johnson, Abram & Newsome.

Coach came in early and asked, which is the right move, "Are there any high school kids playing?" I replied, "No, I am not certified for prospects, so there are no high school or Juco players."

You see, they can't attend if there are "prospects". If there are not prospects, they are allowed to come in and observe their players.

There were several players that were also there to watch, and first thing the next morning I received an e-mail requesting spots for the processing of paperwork for Lucas, Sessoms & Madge. In other words, the players and Coach Baldwin must have liked what they saw.

Games start at 6:00 on both Thursday & Friday, MSOE's Kern Center.

I went to the Pro-AM on Thursday night. Madge and Ruffin are pretty great players for walk-on's. Can both take it to the basket. Ok, at the three.

Abram who sat out last season, the transfer from George Mason at a true 6'7 that is listed as a guard has a very pretty soft jump shot.

Will Sessoms listed at 6'8 will be an inside guy. Didn't watch him enough to give a thought at this time.

A. Springs looks great. Tons of muscle. Plays with that energy. Nice seeing him back with the future Panthers leading the way.
