I get that he's a little shorter than the prototypical NBA guard, but man, can he score and dish. Let’s first see how he does in the college game before we worry about how long he will be at IU. Hanner, Blackmon, among others didn’t exactly adapt as well as we thought.😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Phinisee with 34 points and 16 rebounds as a point guard in tonight's win over Lafayette Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonialcrester Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 The kid can flat out play. I think he is underrated and has a chip on his shoulder and that is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And didn't they attend an IU game as well? There was an article with an RP interview video where RP said he texts Romeo sometimes, but didn't want to bother him much about where to commit because he is getting that from everybody.

cybergates Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Watched RP's highlights from two sectional games over at ITH. Impressive. Crazy that there are supposedly 122 players better than him in this class. I think when its said and done that will be proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's not a burger boy but I think he's way better than 122. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be at least top 50 nationally given what you can find on the internet these days. Shows how lazy these "professional recruiting" websites are. Dive into any indiana HS basketball site and spend 10 mins consuming RP content. I forgot which one it is but snow or bossi show him love yet hes still buried on their site's rankings.

Fundamentals Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Phinisee was dominant against Zionsville, and had his way scoring 33 of his team’s 50 points. McCutcheon had no starter over 6’4. He was their biggest player and Zionsville has 3 starters in the 6’6 range. Further, he is a year older than Isaiah Thompson (Zionsville), the younger brother of current Purdue point guard. Isaiah has also committed to Purdue. He will be no match vs Phinisee in college. All this to say: I agree, he is way, way underrated by recruiting services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm with you guys. I just do not understand his ranking at all. This happens to some kids every year though, and I think more often than not it's the smallish, not particularly flashy guard who gets overlooked. Especially when they commit fairly early. Remember Trey Burke from Michigan. Smallish guard, ranked somewhere around 100. Within two years he's national player of the year and a lottery pick. Not saying Phinisee is going to do THAT, but I do see him making an early impact for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been in the news recently because of his comments but Steve Francis was another one. Went from zero ranking to NBA stardom in 4 years. Very similar to Victor minus the crack dealing. Good thing is this. Archie and us as fans know what Phinisee has to offer. We'll be just fine with him at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I put this in Romeo thread too but Phinisee at Seymour today. Leadership comes in many forms in my opinion. Getting an early start for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
