Dominique Keller appreciation thread
January 26, 2009 9:08 AM
I thought Dominique played very well against Wisconsin, and he has contributed all season. I didn't expect to see as much of him in Big Ten play, but he's been a force, we sometimes overlook him because of the spectacular play of Tisdale, Davis and McCamey; the improvement of Frazier and Brock; the steady leadership of Meacham; and the potential of Legion.
Nevertheless, Keller has added a great deal to this team, and I don't think we are 17-3 without him. He gets some key points, some key boards, and gives Tisdale and Davis a rest, also creating match-up problems for our opponents. We are so deep up front, he has essentially put Semrau on the bench, which is no insult to Semrau.
I personally thought he wouldn't be much of a factor, but maybe that has more to do with the Rodney Alexander experience. But Keller has understood his role and bought into the system.
Props to Dominique Keller.
