****Official Class of 2019 Recruiting Thread****

We'll have THT, Lewis, Long, Haliburton and Wiggi to play the 2/3 in '19-20. I think it will depend on Lewis, Haliburton and Long's development and if we take Tyler Harris on. PG would probably be a bigger need if we get Harris.
 
What's the latest on the big kid from Grandview Christian?

I was wondering the same thing. I am not even sure if he is playing for them as they don't enter box scores on Max Preps. They don't have a roster on their website as well. Here is a rivals video of him when he was a sophomore or freshman playing in TN.

It looks like he had 8 points and fouled out against Lynnville-Sully in his last game. All of the games are entered on www.quikstatsiowa.com

Assuming we are wanting to go with, basically, a three guard lineup with a match up problem power forward and a more traditional big, I think you'd want 6 guards at any given time.

Seems like versatility is the watch word, with this class having THT who could potentially be thrown in at any given time to positions 1-4, Zion who probably slates as a 2/3 and Haliburton who has the size to play 1-3. Conditt looks like he could even be a match up problem at the 4 (or 5) if he continues to develop.

Just from watching videos, Zion seems bigger than THT. I don’t know how that translates to his ability to play in the post, but thought his former coach had him playing big almost exclusively. If all of that is true, then Zion is more of a 3-4.

Zion is more of a 3-4 Wing, where THT is more of a 2-3 Wing. If I had to differentiate them. But I also think Zion doesn't get much respect as a wing because his HS coach has him playing big because he is the only kid over 6'6 on their team haha. Both are going to be fun watching when they line up on the floor together, at least one will have a mismatch

Love having multiple athletes in that 6’5” - 6’7” range on the floor at the same time. Reminds me of the days of the late 80”s team when we had Grayer, Mark Baugh and Elmer Robinson among others.
 
This class would be replacing NWB, Shayok and Talley right now? Possible LW? Seems like the perfect time to get another stud PG and/or combo guard, then I'd guess a big.

Right on. I can see Zion playing PF much like Ejim-mold early. He does have a solid outside shoot already thus he'll get time at SF depending on roster make up is also in play.

THT handle and passing is very advanced I would think Prohm will prefer to keep him on the perimeter to take advantage of those skills. He can slide down to the PF at times but I think he'll be a bigger matchup problem at SG/SF and posting up smaller players.

That name hurts. ISU was going to have, maybe, the best returning front court in the country that year. Then Baugh flunked out, Sam Mack did his Burger King thing and all that was left was V.

Yeah, we ended up with a solid starting five, but with almost no depth. We were competitive in games then would fade.

What's the story on this kid? Why is he at Grand View Christian going all LeBron James on a bunch of small school class 1A 5'10 dudes???

He looks like he is awesome but it seems by the box scores being posted he scores very little. I’m confused

That was going to be Johnny's venture into the top 5.
