TBT - Mean Green Alumni team!

[MeanGreenTexan]

TBT is a huge tournament where the winning team gets a cool $1million!   If you watch the video montage at the end, it appears JJ & DJ might pull down the following dudes:
Tony Mitchell
Jordan Williams
Shannon Shorter
(I believe all 3 of these dudes are still playing professionally overseas).
Thomas Bell III
James Reese
Zach Simmons
Javion Hamlet

That team would be friggin SCARY, and would make any game they're in a must-watch for any Mean Green Basketball fan!
 

[greenminer]

love this.

[MeanGreenTexan]

This has to be TBIII, right?   I see Reese in the background, and I don't think that's Zach or Javion.

Big Zach on board:

Just now seeing this, and very excited to see this cast play together.  I hope it pans out!

There are some greats already chiming in on the twitter feed.    Looks like Jordan is on board, waiting for his invite?:

And Javion's interested:

Trying not to read too much into this until it happens.  They could just be supporting it and not be available.  I'm still very interested in Tony Mitchell.  Is he even in basketball shape? The dude could sit on a couch for a year, wolf down a dozen donuts, then walk into practice and out-jump anybody on the court.

Correct

They should have an open try out spot for a member of the boards! Let’s get that going!

Yeah!   One of my all-time favorites to don the Green!

Need to get Javion on board (or maybe Ryan??) to handle the ball, and if Tony happens to join...

Aren't you worried this would involve putting off or dismissing prior commitments?

Agreed.  And then they should leave them on the bench all game so we have something to gripe about

[emmitt01]

Shannon Shorter has been added as well

@emmitt01 doesn't hurt that Shannon has participated in this 2x.

Anyone know how many guys you need to qualify? Can you get away with just having 5-6 players, or do you need a minimum of like 8 deep?

as the only poster who could give 5 solid minutes of game time, I already took my name out of the hat.

Lets hope not.

[southsideguy]

if it Tony Denton you will need 10 players so he substitute after someone makes a shot.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Need a PG and a defensive specialist.   Then, we need a couple sharpshooters.    ... and Tony Mitchell.
