Losing James was a real buzz kill on the season. He was not healed enough to contribute anything in the post season. A terrible way to end his collegiate career. Where is he playing these days?greyCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205379240405158462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753743645741034308.post-81647506390006470112009-10-09T15:35:31.408-04:002009-10-09T15:35:31.408-04:00Actually we lost in the 2nd round.Actually we lost in the 2nd round.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753743645741034308.post-13847998554262625932009-10-03T13:17:37.277-04:002009-10-03T13:17:37.277-04:00Thanks for the heads up John -- while I had made n...Thanks for the heads up <b>John</b> -- while I had made note of Acker (and Brett Roseboro) in an earlier post ("<a href="http://vbtn.blogspot.com/2009/09/roster-moves-start-of-school-shuffle.html" rel="nofollow">Roster Moves</a>"), I did not update my draft on Marquette to reflect the new circumstances. I agree that Acker's contributions will most likely not come directly from points scored (though he does boost Marquette's 3 point conversion rate), but rather from the maturity a senior can bring to the squad. And he will most likely prove to have a better handle than Buycks or Cubillan, and so be a reasonable option for bringing the ball up the floor and setting up the offense. I have revised the post to reflect the numbers (returning % and team nucleus) that Acker brings (back) to the squad. Best of luck to Marquette this season.greyCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205379240405158462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753743645741034308.post-13687406433924722562009-10-02T11:25:56.922-04:002009-10-02T11:25:56.922-04:00Acker is coming back.

He's not much in terms of talent, but he might be useful for the Golden Eagles.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903121589198379563noreply@blogger.com
