(Earl Calloway & Rod Wilmont on the Mad Ants first ever home game in Nov. 2007)
Former Mad Ant (and IU Alumni) Rod Wilmont has been doing well for Erie in training camp. He has made it past the first round of cuts. Here is a quote from Duane Rankin at the Erie Times:
"Rod Wilmont - The guy wasn’t lying. He can just flat out knock down shots. Before training camp, he told me the coaches know he can put it in the hole since John Treloar and Ben McDonald were assistants at Indiana when he was there. During an intense four-on-four drill in which defense is rewarded, he must have knocked down four contested long-range shots. Pretty impressive to watch. I should have known. Against Northwestern in 2007, he hit nine 3s. Yes. Nine."
For more information on the Bayhawks training camp, check out the rest of Mr. Rankin's blog here.
This could make for an interesting storyline with the Mad Ants playing Erie in the home opener on Nov. 27th (Friday) and Nov. 29th (Sunday).
It's going to be weird having to watch Rod play for "the other team." He's been a favorite of ours since his IU days.
ReplyDeleteScott, I agree. The good thing is we play Erie four times at home this year, so you should have some chances to see him in action. I think this will spices up our rivalry with Erie!
