Eli and a couple other guys got a pretty rough reception when they first came here. Three or four guys who seemed to know each other showed up at the same time and they all had pro (either actual games or pro try-out camps) experience. They espoused a lot of pro philosophy and seemed to be encouraging people to use pro rulings in HS and NCAA situations. One of them in particular (a poster named "crew", not Eli) gave all kinds of incorrect rule interps and was roundly and soundly denounced for it, and I think that the whole group just decided this wasn't the place for them. And with their pro mentality, they might've been right.

I've since met both Eli and "crew" and they're both pretty cool guys. Eli and Zach Zarba were both up for an NBA spot last season and Zach got it. So I'm glad Eli made it this year. (Zach is a really great guy too, by the way.)
