Goodbye Austin Ball

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

I’d rather he be a rich mans Tim Burns than a poor mans Jason Douglas Stanley

Why can’t Austin Ball just be a good ball player instead of matching some other player?

Can’t win…. Another post gets machine gunned down

TBF, the comparison doesn’t make sense in that Vlad was a 6’9 power forward who was more comfortable on the perimeter and Ball is a 6’6 natural wing.

For whatever it’s worth I see a bit of Gibson Jimerson in Austin Ball. And that’s not a bad path for him to potentially be on at all.

Wow, JDS, a name I haven't thought of in a few years.

Had to look him up.

Two Years at Mason
A year at Manhattan
A year at Northwestern Oklahoma State (Div-II)
A year at Southwestern Christian University (NAIA) (2023-24)

Guy really got around.

Literally the opposite of the ideal career trajectory. But hoo boy he never missed a shot in those videos.

It’s the off-season. It’s fun to project and imagine. Considering we haven’t been to the NCAA since 2011? Hope and imagination play a big role in our fan base.

IU-I? Was he not good enough to get playing time in Fairfax? I thought he had a solid Freshman year?

Here is a video of Austin Ball throwing a football around with Jared Billups before a game

good dude!

Wish we could have seen him get some real minutes, he definitely seemed to have some skill. Best of luck on your next adventure.
