That’s a leap. Just last class he brought in two shooters with limited slashing, and took a risk on a big due to shooting. Prohm mentioned needing to be in the upper 30s for 3P shooting percentage, which is where we’ve been every year except 2013-14. Our top guards will likely be Haliburton, Bolton, Jackson, Grill, and Walker. All but one is a shooter.
The “It’s going to be slashing, driving, transition on offense” has been a narrative, but that’s effectively what all teams aim to do. In reality, tempo under Prohm has generally been slower than 2011-2015. We lack of shooters now, but our 3PAr is still 37%
I don't know if Fran was complacent since his best recruits so far have been either legacies, his own sons or lifelong Hawk fans he didn't need to recruit that hard to get. But I agree with what you said, they did seem so confused by the whole thing.
Maybe my ears were clogged with fuzz from my hat after shoveling snow, but I thought I heard Xavier say one of the reasons he chose ISU was a connection with Tyrese. We are all assuming Tyrese leaves after this year (and I support him doing so if he is a first round pick).
However, what if Tyrese stays because he loves school, wants to potentially become a lottery pick, or want to play with Xavier? One can dream . . . .
PG: Tyrese, Jackson
SG: Bolton, Grill
3-5: Xavier, Solo, Zion, Conditt (in no particular order)
That is a solid eight man rotation!
Indy here we come!
That rotation would amazing on defense and transition offense.
I was just going to comment on that play. His body control is amazing for his age and size
I agree and I’m not expecting him to shoot lights out but as a 7 foot high school junior shooting 28% from 3? Yes please
Plus he's got a nice looking shot. He doesn't need to be a marksman at ISU, just needs to shoot well enough to keep teams honest.
I expect him to be Kevin Durant light. And I’m ecstatic about that possibility.
CIMD is the stat man and he said the shooting percentage doesn't change that much out to 24 feet.
Give him and his family time. I was that way for a while too.
Dudley Blackwell will play right away. He has the body to play right now. By the time he gets here he will be readyMaybe my ears were clogged with fuzz from my hat after shoveling snow, but I thought I heard Xavier say one of the reasons he chose ISU was a connection with Tyrese.

LOL at 30 seconds in when he swats the ball and it hits the ref.
Probably could have read that on here prior to his commitment.
PM me if your tired of working at McDonalds. We may have a spot for a hard worker.
