dgambill Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 I’m really split on him. Guess I’ll trust the coaches. I watched a highlight video of a game his team played agasint another top team…he looked slow, unathletic, and didn’t even seem that good putting the ball on the floor and getting around his man. Mostly just spotted up. Could be a bad game…and maybe his team is so good he didn’t have to do much but looked a little out of place compared to other videos. Man I just feel he could go either way of really good or almost unplayable like Damezi (who he reminded me of). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the top 5 for ppg in the eybl tourney this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what I'm saying is much of his scoring I saw was others creating for him. He stood in the corner a lot and drained 3's or yes finished fast breaks or got to the rim when a lane was wide open because a defender went to help and made a poor closeout. When I watched him with a guy straight up guarding him he wasn't able to get around his man, was weak with the ball and his passes and was beat on defense by guys much quicker of foot. Again, that isn't to say he isn't good, could have been a bad game...but I saw the other side of the coin. Fact is he is on basically one of the most loaded AAU teams in Florida, so he benefited from that some. Kid has a special talent for shot making...no doubt about that....but we've seen that before, and that isn't always enough. Obviously I will trust the staff on him because they've seen more than just a few games but I do think there are questions there with this recruit. Just like I have questions of Gunn as well. No doubt they can easily get past all that and that my observations may be flawed...but I still have them none the less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just I saw some things that would make me pause and question. I'm not trying to say he won't be a good ball player or isn't. I just see some things that he will have to overcome at a higher level....we've seen it go both ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Not in his top 4. Only B1G that is is OSU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the class size at IU is an issue. Already two guards in the class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understand why our IU fans still continue to waste time and post on guy who’ chose not to be a Hoosier!!! I know it’s an IU message board, but good grief….hang it up already with this guy.🙄🙄🥱🥱 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 The title should be changed to "committed" and moved out of Recruiting and into General Basketball where it will be quickly buried. When an IU recruit commits it gets moved but for some reason this and, for instance, Braden Smith are still in Recruiting. If moved I imagine they'll soon be forgotten. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
