2018 JUCO - this kid has *bounce*
Jumper looks okay as well - will probably be highly sought after once '18 JUCO recruiting takes off. Hopefully CSP getting in early pays dividends.
Any possible way to be negative as you can be. Spin, shape, and retro fit that pessimism of yours any way you feel necessary. We'll all continue to know that you're just here to take out your depression on your keyboard.
Your points are what everybody else has been saying, just with some...
Monte didn't seem to have (either) the leg strength or footwork to play O or D at his max potential. Always looked like he was sorta loose from his man on the defensive end, but I feel like he was def quick enough on offense. Did not have an *elite* crossover, but at least 'very good' imo.
Love...
Dude, think about it. Be damned with Rankings.
Indiana, Michigan State, Michigan, Minn, ISU, West Virginia, Baylor..
Just change your name to Wet Blanket.
I hadn't been either (just seemed to lack quickness/explosion and seemed like pedestrian skills from the early film I saw).
But performances like this are meaningful and as Georges taught us - you don't have to be super quick or explosive to be really effin good at basketball.
To me it looks like this kid's game is similar to what I would hope Lard will be able to do. Strong defensive play with some pretty clinical post up scoring moves, nothing really in the shooting area, hard nosed solid piece on a great team, not a star player or a guy who will gripe if the...
Jacobi Gordon just committed to Cal - you can take this as the confirmation that Darius will be heading to Cal after he waits his 30 days to be released. Plays for the same AAU team
Eli Wright, former 4 star guard, also transferring from Miss St.
The beginnings of the Howland collapse? Please let Nick Weatherspoon get out of his LOI and come up here. Not happening this year, I know, but I really liked that kids game.
Kwe Parker? Has he landed anywhere yet? I've tried to find info on connections or who he's interested in and came up empty. I might just be terrible at research though.
His jumper isn't great and he didn't deliver on the hype his first season in Tennessee, but Prohm would seem like a perfect...
I'm saying that level of player (world beater) is hard to come by this time of year.. and I was saying that in all of my reactions to your comment, not just one. Dillon Brooks level guys (unless there is a pre existing relationship) aren't usually holding out for ISU offers this time of year...
Nobody said they don't exist, although on ISU's level you can exclude Brooks from your example (unless you think we're landing Bowen or MJ Walker somehow).
Signing a scrub and getting a nice piece that was only very recently ruled as a qualifier are two completely different things. This is how gems are found (sometimes), they won't all work out as spring/summer recruiting is a crapshoot - but ya can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket.
