Indian Hills Guards

I was reading a thread on here about some IHCC guards we might be interested in. I went to the Indian Hills district final game last night and saw a couple of unbelievable performances.

Dwight Hardy 6'2" Fr from Bronx, NY missed his first shot of the game. After that he proceeded to hit his next 14 shots, including 6 three pointers. He wasn't even hitting the rim, they were all dead on. Had 34 at half and ended up with 42. I have never seen a performance like that and Coach Kidder, who started off as a student assistant at Kentucky under Eddie Sutton, said in his 23 years of coaching he has never seen anything like it. A couple weeks ago in a game Hardy went on a solo 18-0 run that included 5 3's and getting fouled on a 3-pt shot.

Dwight Buycks 6'3" Fr from Milwaukee had 11 points at half I think and ended up with 33 for the game. Took over in the 2nd half when they were draped all over Hardy.

It will be interesting to see how these guys do at Nationals in Hutchinson, Kansas but they are definitely 2 guys to keep an eye on.

You listed the same name both times. Who is the second?

Dwight Buycks. Sorry. I changed it.

Did both of them look like D1 prospects?

I have heard that ISU is recruiting Bucks, but I'm not sure. If Hardy is that good, i think he is a d1 prospect to.

I bet Buycks and Garrett know each other because they are both from the same class in Wisconsin. I have heard he is really good and can light it up. In watching the Mediacom NIT replay Georgia vs Iowa State yesterday, I really see what we missed this year, which is two guards that can handle the ball, penetrate, and dish. Hopefully Buckley and Garrett can give us that punch. We need a big guy as well! I was hoping we would look at their 6'9' guy Laron Dendy. He was recruited by some big programs. It will be interesting to see how Indian Hills does.

Buycks is probably going to Bradley. He originally came down to ISU and Bradley.

Well obviously the opponents will be much tougher at the D1 level but it was a district final game. All I know is that if we had guys hitting shots like that this year we would definitely have more wins than we currently do.

Yeah, I remember when ISU was looking at Buycks and I thought we took Garrett instead at the time. I just know he was definitely on our list at one time. Interesting that he ended up at a CC.
