RoadToZion Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 He would be a great get. Very high basketball IQ. Has that natural instinct and ability like Galloway and Leal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) That’s great news.  Once we lost the kid from West Virginia, this kid rose to the top of my wish list.  Honestly this kid may be an even better get because of the complete game he brings.  Edited February 18, 2021 by BobSaccamanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly an emphasis for this coaching staff. I think the Brown point guard kid has Ivy League offers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Has a good feel around the basket..kinda funky release on his jumper but seems to be a good shooter. Could fill that Hunter role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I wouldn't just automatically bday they are coming just because we got crystal ball predictions on these two players. To me when I the confidence level of 5 that means he either is coming or he is not coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know...I know we got in early on these kids but this makes complete sense...thanks @The Daily Hoosier your the best!

Thank you very much for sharing this. I've been curious why out of the blue all of these 2022 kids started getting crystal ball choices. Now it makes sense.

We still play mostly an inside out brand of basketball though...everything runs through Trayce. It’s another reason (not that Archie is angry at them when they do) but I think Archie should encourage them a little more to look for the open 3. We can knock down good looks when we are set and ready to catch and shoot. Shooting so few 3s has to send a signal to recruits as well that we just have a really buttoned down offense. (Restrictive) I think the more we loosen it up the better for our team and future recruits. Jerome and Armaan and Al have shown they can shoot a good percentage when they are in good catch and shoot position...not the late in shot clock force up a contested 3 we saw early in the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind it should be minimum 4-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
