2007-08 big blue basketball - 7 LOOKING AT 2007-08 A new era of Big Blue basketball begins at Millikin University in 2007-08 as Marc Smith takes the helm of the program. A former Big Blue assistant coach, Smith returns to the Big Blue after a successful five-year stint at Keystone College (Pa.). There will be more to the new-look Big Blue than just a head coach though. Former professional player Enzley Mitchell joins the staff in an assistant role and together the two will work to put Millikin back on the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) map. The new coaching duo inherits a young group of players that include just one senior and six returning letter winners. But Smith and Mitchell don’t necessarily see that as a cause for concern – for Millikin it means there is plenty of raw talent to work with. And already Smith is excited by the work ethic of his team and the number of players who want to be a part of the program. Smith is also excited by the number of players he has that can play multiple positions. In his mind the potential is great – “We’re going to get better, but the question is with whom?” Numbers are on Smith’s side and he’s confident that his players’ continued development will ultimately lead to a deep bench this season. That’s not to say that the Big Blue doesn’t return any experienced players. The bulk of Smith’s returners come in sophomore post-players Joscar Demby, Robert Rexroade and Zach Ott. Because of the playing time they received last season, expectations for the trio will be high. In order for the group to improve, Smith said they will have to overcome last sea - son’s inconsistent scoring and make their presence known in the paint. Demby’s solid 6-7 frame is well suited for the CCIW, and he showed glimpses of his capabili - ties during his freshman season when he earned 16 starts. Demby averaged 6.9 ppg while shooting .504 from the field with individual game highs of 15 points, seven rebounds and three blocks. Ott’s contributions a year ago included 7.9 ppg and 2.4 rpg and Smith sees bigger numbers for his sopho - more season. Ott shot .500 from the field and nearly .450 from 3-point range a year ago as well as proving himself as one of the Big Blue’s most consistent free throw shooters. Rexroade also saw considerable playing time as a freshman and with a full year of CCIW competition under his belt, his game will continue to mature and evolve. Rexroade is looking to improve on a 6.0 ppg scoring average and 2.8 rpg from his first year. In addition to scoring in the paint, another of Smith’s priorities will be to mobilize a 3-point scoring attack and for that he will rely on senior Keanon Harrington, junior John Harmsen and sophomore Charles Warren. Harrington returns after playing in 24 games a year ago when he averaged 3.8 ppg and 3.1 rpg. The most experienced of the returners, Harrington will rely on his 54 career appearances to lead the young Big Blue in his final season. In his career, Harrington is averaging 3.9 ppg and 2.9 rpg while shooting .386 from the field. Harmsen has played off the bench for the Big Blue in his first two seasons. In 2006-07, he logged time in nine games while shooting better than .400 from both the field and behind the 3-point line. The junior varsity’s Most Valuable Player in his sophomore season, Harmsen could have a break-out year and a big part of Millikin’s offense in 2007-08. Warren’s minutes improved as his freshman season went on and Smith sees the potential he can bring to the team in his sophomore year. A 3-point threat, Warren also frustrated opponents on defense. As a freshman, he averaged 4.3 ppg and 1.8 rpg with 14 steals while shooting .417 from the field. Smith also has a group of newcomers who will add plenty of valuable depth. Several have shown the ability that they could contribute early, including junior transfer Tunde Ogunleye, freshman Darrell Adams and sophomore Bob Burton. Burton played primarily on the Big Blue’s junior varsity squad as a freshman, with time in five varsity games, but was impressive at the JV level. He’s been strong in the preseason as well and could be in line for some early playing time. Ogunleye may have the biggest advantage of the newcomers. After transferring from Keystone College, Ogunleye is already familiar with Smith’s system after two years in his program with the Giants. At 6-7, Adams adds another big body in the post and provides additional depth in the paint. Another freshman who has been impressing coaches in the preseason is 5-10 guard Boston Flemming. One thing Smith says his newcomers have in common is “a passion for basketball and a desire to work to improve their skills.” If their presea - son was any indication, Smith should be able to count on them to have a major impact on the program. For Big Blue fans, Smith promises enthusiasm, a competitive, defensive-minded approach and a fast-paced game on both ends of the floor. Millikin kicks off its 2007-08 season on Nov. 19 at Blackburn College.
