JUCO G Keon Ellis offered

[Cyinthenorth]

Per Jared Stansbury. I'm at work and can't link, if anyone can help me out with that. 6'4'' combo guard from Florida Southwestern. Stats include 40% from 3 and 80% FT this past season.

Thanks. Anyone Nate Oats is interested in is someone I imagine we would want as well. Let's hope he picks the good guys.

Drivers seat for him due to a connection (I believe Kane)

 

[BryceC]

This would be nice. Really want the team to get longer on the perimeter.

 

[Frak]

This would be a nice pick up. Get him and a JUCO or grad transfer PG and we might have a decent team. If one more scholarship opens up, then look at a stretch 4.

I don’t care if they’re 2 feet tall, I just want to shoot better.

To be fair we've found out the hard way without length of the perimeter we can't guard ball screens

The 2 guards coming next season are both 6'5".

 

[CloneGuy8]

Love the size. If he can shoot 40% from 3, really hope we land him. That would be huge

Is that why you quoted him twice? One for each guard?

 

[Halincandenza]

Want!

 

[ISUCubswin]

Gotta be somewhat easy to recruit guards right now, being able to promise immediate starting spots

Come on up to ISU Keon Ellis.....we need your shooting and athleticism!

Looks like a player with some gifts, but his learning curve to the Big 12 would appear steep. Like any juco, he'd need to learn quickly how what a good shot is and how to fit in on offense (and defense) because there aren't any 6'5" posts to dribble through in the Big 12. Also not sure how you can call yourself a combo guard when you're highlight tape doesn't feature a single pass. Still, this is a player who could thrive here next year if he buys in.

Too bad there are no Rhoads-era CBs left we could have try out for hoops.

Guards can't get open until there learn how to scrub around a screen. we always mosey around a screen and the defender follows easily

How do we know he’ll have an impact? Given the inexact science of recruiting and with CSP, it’s been well documented to skew definitively one way or the other, why are recruits regardless of repute given the benefit of the doubt?

We don't know and that's the problem with Juco recruiting, but I will say that if we don't get older (like CW and Stans Say)...then we will have NO chance at the ncaa tournament and just have another disaster of a season...Right now my friends We need ALL the HELP we can get....
