Kind of Mizzou-style. I wouldn't mind being configured for that style of play.

You see alot of schools go with this look now, having the biggest guy on the floor by 6'7"-6'8" but long and tough and athletic...kind of a Kenny Pratt or Stevie Johnson look. In my opinion, big is overrated. I would rather have a long and athletic 6'7" guy than a big lumbering 6'11" guy.

So I'm guessing this Bo Barnes guy is one of the best high school basketball players in the nation, but if he were to come here there is a great chance that despite his raw ability, his inability to fully grasp the playbook would leave him relegated to the bench?

Ugh, I could here the announcers next year if we got Bo Barnes.

"Hometown stud Harrison Barnes chose not to go to Iowa State but the Cyclones did end up with the next best Barnes as a nice consolation prize."

If we were to get this Barnes kid, I would expect this type of behavior any time an opposing player is coming for a weakside block.

No, we don't. If we had some 3-point shooting, some of these games might have been different. We couldn't spread out a defense at all.

We need someone who can shoot the 3 off the dribble and moving. Lucca was a heck of a 3pt shooter.... When he was set and no one was around.

The lack of class on this board never ceases to amaze me.
I'm surprised we can get a recruit that has Internet access.

It was a joke, thats the last time I'll ever post something without the :jimlad:.

:no:

It wasn't a knock on Bo Barnes at all either, it was more of a rub it in our faces about Harrison. You know kind of like what the announcers have been doing with Wesley Johnson.

A 6'9" 225# PF sounds fine. I don't care if they're 6'9" or 7'2"--all I ask is that they're NOT SOFT! Frankly, I'd like GMac to bring in a 225# hard-nosed point guard.

I havent seen a positive post from JCREEK yet. Not to worry. Plus he cant spell absolute, negative, or recruit right. Or use the word posted in the correct manner.
Either way if we got Bo Barnes. The whole Harrison thing is pretty much expected.
