Vs. junior all-stars Mallers gets 13 and leads all-stars with three 3-point shots. Bane was almost missing in action and Hazen got four points.

One concern I have is that when you go to the Ball State sports page and pull down the roster for the basketball team Maller is not listed? Hollywood and the red shirt guard are on the list. Anyone know why?

Yeah but Hazen had 8 offensive rebounds, which is ridiculously impressive.

Anyone know why? Just an oversight by whomever is responsible for the roster. Although, I'm not sure if you can put incoming players on the roster before they start class? I know football freshmen don't get added til the fall

Hazen / Mallers impressive off benchIndiana All-Stars – Guy 5 5-5 16, Walker 7 2-4 17, Murphy 5 0-0 10, Brunk 7 0-0 16, Bane 1 4-4 6, Smith 1 2-2 4, German 8 1-2 19, Hazen 2 0-0 4, Jefferson 2 4-5 8, Mallers 4 2-2 13, Gelon 2 0-0 6. Totals: 44 20-24 118. 3-point goals: Junior All-Stars 7 (Stefanovic 3, Minnett 2, Ertel, Gunn), Indiana All-Stars 10 (Mallers 3, Brunk 2, German 2, Guy, Walker, Gelon). Ft Wayne paper provides detailsMallers didn’t start, "made his presence felt early and often" hitting his first four shots. “One of my strengths is knocking down shots,” Mallers said. “I came in with confidence and knocked a few down.” Some concern about 3 point game this year, shooting over 40 percent from long range as a junior, connected on just 23.8 percent. “I had a role change at Carroll, where we needed a post guy,” Mallers said of this past year. “I had to take over that and I think that affected my confidence a little bit.” He did shoot 45 percent from the field and improved his rebounding, now feeling it from the perimeter again. Finished with 13 points and missed just one shot attempt, made a couple of blocks and dished out an assist in 17 minutes of play. Hazen made just a couple of his eight shot attempts, but they were impressive baskets, the first basket a one-handed rebound tip slam and he dunked another shot later, grabbing a game-high 10 rebounds. “I try to crash the boards and block shots,” Hazen said, “just bring energy to the team and contribute in the little ways that will help us win.” Hazen also made three steals to go with his one block.

The German kid that is going to Northern Illinois was the leading scorer.

I know he is, which is why it's weird Mallers isn't. My understanding is you can't include a kid until he attends class. (Hence no fall freshmen football players on the roster yet ) I don't know if that's still the rule.

Could it have something to do with the fact that his school hasn't held graduation yet? I believe its this weekend.

That's a possibility. Such a late graduation cost him an all star game.

Mallers had 6 in the second game. German had 10. I hate to lose top talent to MAC schools. Pretty good pub here for German:
Allen Iverson was known as “The Answer” during his NBA career. Eugene German shares some Iverson-like qualities with his ability to shake defenders and score around the rim.
Tremell Murphy has a different nickname ready for German, his IndyStar Indiana All-Stars teammate.
“He’s like a walking question mark,” Murphy said. “You don’t know what he’s going to do. Opponents can’t guard him. He’s unbelievable. I’ve never seen anybody play like him at the high school level.”

He will be one and done at NIU with NBA all star skills! He hasn't played for the yet. It is amazing how other MAC teams get an all star we missed the boat recruiting them. But when we have many HS all stars they are marginal. Why is that reevo or halftime?

Well Rusty, I would say that our recruiting has been marginal at best. Until we win a MAC championship and get back into the NCAA tournament, I don't know how you can say we are anything but marginal.

I think it's fine to call our recruiting marginal, but it seems kinda uneven to at the same time lament the loss of the German kid (at least until NIU wins a MAC championship, of course, since it seems reasonable that you would hold their recruiting to an equal standard).
The German kid seems to have been something of a revelation to many during the all-star process. If we somehow missed him, we weren't the only ones that missed.
I'll take some solace in the fact that the folks in Terre Haute and Toledo are probably lamenting the loss of a kid named Mallers right now.
