Hoosier3201 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 It'd be huge if we got him, as much as I love our in state recruits getting ourselves reestablished as a national recruiter for elite prospects would be huge for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Mohammed and Lander are exactly what this roster needs. Didn't Archie literally say that "re-classification" is one of the categories of recruiting that was a possibility? This will never happen because we are so snakebit, but imagine if these two re-classified to 2020 and came to IU. I believe Archie has said a class of 4-5 was possible. Could I interest anyone in this lineup? Lander Mohammed Hunter Thompson TJD Bench players: Brunk, Phinisee, Franklin, et al. We don't just need a point guard. We also need a wing player that you can toss the ball to, and let him go to work as a scorer, a variety of ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 The kid is well put together. Should be able to come in and as a freshman contribute right away at both ends. He isn't a strong 3pt shooter but I would say adequate. His ability to get where he wants on the court and strength to finish is his strength. I could see this kid living at the free throw line in Archie's offense. Hopefully he isn't as snake bitten there as the rest of our team lol.

But given that they all will have the experience, I expect them to shoot a higher % than him next year. The biggest difference though is that Leal can create his own shot. He is confident with it. None of the others do much beyond shooting open shots when it comes to 3s. But being a freshman can mess with your confidence. Leal seems like he might have that Sheehey effect where he will never be short on confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHoosier Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Anyone have statistics comparing Leal vs Hulls 3 pt shooting in HS/AAU circuit? Excited to add Leal/Galloway, but Geronimo may be the under appreciated wild card a la OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadOne Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 this is one I would really like. Kid is averaging 16 rebounds per game? Don't care what competition you're playing against, averaging 16 rebs per game is flat out getting after it. Would be a nice bump in tenacity for the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a nice bump in tenacity for the team He is playing smaller division in Missouri but he seems to be aggressive. A guy that doesn't mind contact and likes to get to the rim. A guy that can create his own shot...something that will help us with some of the guys like Hunter, Leal and Galloway who hopefully can be good knock down scorers.

IU4Ever Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I get that he's playing in the smallest division of schools in Missouri but his consistency in scoring and rebounding game in and game out is impressive. And you have to assume he's faced almost every conceivable kind of defense from his opponents and he still puts up big numbers. Not to mention that he posted solid numbers last summer playing up on the Boo Williams AAU team on the Nike circuit. Something like 16 pts. and 8 reb. against a significantly higher level of competition. I really hope we can land this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no doubt...he had like 48 pts and over 20 rebs in a tourney championship game earlier this year. It wasn’t bad competition either. Kid plays real hard. He has a real aggressive mindset which is good. Can be a spark plug scorer for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
