Weren’t they saying he was a perfect replacement for Grady Dick? I thought I’d heard that one of their big pitches was to show him clips of Dick as examples of how they wanted to use him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Larry Bird I'm sure Self couldn't find a way to use this: Scouting Report EVALUATED 10/15/2022 Brandon JenkinsRECRUIITNG ANALYST COMPARISON Kyle SinglerOKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER McNeeley is as versatile as they come in the 2024 class. He has the handle and feel to run an offense and with his textbook shooting stroke, he has the capability to be a knockdown three-point shooter. The best area of his game is his passing as his vision is above average and he is willing to find the open man. He is unselfish to a fault, but he plays the game the right way. A high IQ prospect who can bring something to the table at eithet forward position, McNeeley should excel as a reliable complimentary option at the collegiate level. The other day I saw an evaluation that talked a bit about his defense. I can't remember where or I'd link it. Basically, that guy's take on McNeely's defense is that it isn't as bad as some seem to think it is. He does a good job with positioning and staying in front of his man. Not great at defense but not terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens, and hopefully sooner rather than later it allows the staff to sell what they are trying to build to Fland, Queen and others. Got to think Liam helps lure Fland, Queen and others. I would hope the staff is reminding guys like McNeeley that the portal also provides arguably better talent and leadership than committing entirely to a freshman heavy 24’ class. So even if we miss out on a couple guys, getting like 2-3 of Liam/Queen/Givens/Fland/Boateng is enough to create a solid foundation for our staff to identify the biggest needs in the off-season and fill that with quality talent. It’s pretty clear between the immediate eligibility with the portal and our NIL $ that we wouldn’t be lying when we say we can completely reconstruct the roster for next year. Just obviously need a couple to take that leap of faith. Edited September 19, 2023 by Hoosierdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between moving on for whatever reason and an "insider" trashing a kids talent when they're actually (if the reports are to be believed) still in the race but the perception is they're behind...
