Would love to see him in Bloomington but historically I always get a tad nervous about recruiting Chicagoland kids. Not because of the kids but the layers to get to the kid.

But neither were born and raised up there. Different deal. Just asking if this recruitment is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid appears to be the real deal. We need a pg next year to back up Rob...combo would be nice to also run alongside future 2021 pg as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a PG and wouldn't backup Rob, for clarity. Well, in the future, please use the "off-ball non-backup highly esteemed guard" emoji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a little smaller to be a wing. We need another point. We have a lot more options at the two. He looks to be a very good player...could he learn to do some more playmakjng?

Based on what I saw in Westfield I would say that he has the potential to be a lot more dynamic guard than Green. First, Steward is a proficient scorer from all three levels, whereas Green struggles from the midrange and at the rim at times. Second, Steward has the potential to be a Big Ten point guard. I don't think his handles are there yet, but the potential is there. He could play a lot of different roles from PG to a third guard in a 3-guard lineup.

Madison22 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 IU recruits on the EYBL circuit. From Inside The Hall: https://www.insidethehall.com/2019/05/15/an-in-depth-look-at-how-iu-targets-are-performing-on-the-eybl-circuit/ DJ Steward – Meanstreets Based on his EYBL numbers to date, it’s fair to conclude that Steward is ready to step in and make an immediate impact at the college level. He’s averaging 25.9 points per game for Meanstreets, which is 4-4 through eight games. He is also averaging five rebounds, 3.5 assists and two steals per game. Over his final two games in Indianapolis (both wins), he scored 37 and 46 points, respectfully. What’s most impressive, however, is Steward’s efficiency. He’s using 32 percent of his team’s possessions and owns an effective field goal percentage of 57.2 percent. His turnover rate is just 12.7 percent and he’s shooting 58.6 percent on 2s, 36.2 percent on 3s and 81.6 percent from the free throw line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody mentioned his name as a comparison and I'd say that is the closest comparison that I've heard. Mind you, the comparison is incoming senior in high school Greg Graham, not several years in the NBA Greg Graham.....and a player can go a lot of different ways from there.

dgambill Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 He has kind of a low release but man he has been filling it up lately. Seems Archie is really looking for some shooting since he missed out on Lester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
