Lard looks good

Yea but wasn't his dad his high school coach? Seems weird a coaches kids would have such poor form.
Carter never plays and has had plenty of opportunity. My judgement is based on that. I frankly don't pay any attention to him when he's in because the game is over.
I would like to know the inside story on Simeon Carter and why he hasn't gotten more time, especially in the middle of this season. He gets up the court and has finished on the few plays he's had an opportunity at. There is clearly something there that we as fans don't know. SC looks like the type of teammate you would want on your side though.
The only thing I took from that is Lard has the size to play in the Big 12. He's a little bigger than I expected.
If you watched any of Young's high school highlights, you know he is fully capable of hitting a 3-pointer. He has good form and a high release. He doesn't have to look for it, but if he can shoot a respectable percentage, it could help everyone else. I think he has the potential to score 8-12 points/gm next season. He has some skills, we just have better options this season. Young is built to be a great 4, and if we get a true big to help him out down low, we could have a very nice player for the next three years.

Only problem is only 3 of them are really proven in Big 12 play. Will be a very different year next year for sure. I'm excited to see what Wigginton & Lard can do.
So....As of now I like the thought of Jackson, Young, Lard and Wigginton for next season. Lots to prove but lots of potential IMO. If Prohm gets the team in the top 3-4 of the Big 12 he should receive coach of the year consideration. A trip to the NCAA tourney would come with that and it would be outstanding.
So thru my sources and personal experiences with Simeon my understanding is that there is just not enough going on upstairs(if you know what I mean) to be a competitive D1 player as well as he has a questionable work ethic which is why he doesn't play. On the flip side Solo is a very very bright young man and has a work ethic comparable to Matty Ice. I don't really know anything about Lard other than he's by far the most athletic big man on the team (I consider Burton a guard)
I personally think it just looks weird because he is a lefty, that fads back, and kicks his leg out some. All leftys look a bit weird shooting the ball.
Long has always made a good percentage when I've watched. With his slow release I guess he'll need to be selective when he shoots.

He will certainly be playing next year. A freshman in his first Big 12 action will have a serious adjustment period, but he will play.
I agree and if we're wrong, Kasongo is very good and we have a great spring/summer signing period to look forward to!
