Can they get a couple more lines on the court?! Lol We have plenty of scholarships and I don’t know why getting foreign kids to come to IU has been so hard...so anything that opens up the door to more foreign players is good enough for me. Why should Gonzaga get them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I’m not going to sit here and say he will be a stud because I have no idea. I’ve never seen him play other than some grainy video that makes Zapruder look like it’s in 4K. But, recruiting is an area where fans are typically not in a position to do a proper evaluation. For one, we aren’t talking to the kid. A player’s makeup is huge. Is he self centered or will he run through a wall for you? We might be able to glean a bit from interviews but we are functioning with limited info and a lot of misinformation. This is why Archie makes the big bucks. Literally. This is his job to figure out whether the guy could be Lauri Markkenan or he’s in the Jessan Ashley Grey or David Williams zone. He will be judged by his own W’s and L’s and time will tell us whether this becomes a panic Tim Priller move or astute. None of us are in a position to know right now. I have found that judging a player on a small sample size can absolutely slaughter you. I’ve written off people or liked others and whiffed because of a snap decision. Live and learn. Players can develop. That’s the job of the coach to project what he could be. From what little I know, he gives me a vibe of a rotational big that a guy like Pitino (Rick) would have. As much as we despise him as a person off the court and cheater on it, in terms of system, he had some things to like. He’s an order of magnitude better than Cal. One thing I liked is he’d have literally 4 guys 6’9 or taller rotating in. Remember he had an Egyptian big at the end? This young man could be a useful solid piece like that, but I’m admittedly not going off much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they will finish 5th in the conference and be a top 20 team nationally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
