Very impressive stats against high level competition. Was pulling in a ton of rebounds in conference play too. Had 20 in a game against SELA, who i know isnt good but thats not easy no matter who you're playing

I suppose so. Maybe we'll get a few more of his type when TJ can build up the program and have more than 10 scholarship players, then he can plug in a guy like Born to add depth etc, but I don't think any of us are complaining that we went with guys like Brockington to compete right away, and low and behold we end up in the dance. I get you need athleticism, strong bodies, height, guys who can DEFEND, etc., but those kids from Iowa mentioned above would be adding alot more to this team than what we're getting out of Walker, Enaruna, and Jackson. Here's to the present (great job by TJ w/ this roster) but looking forward to the future and some Matt Thomas shooters.
I was just poking the masses with a stick. I completely agree I hope we start landing our share of the upper crust of the instate classes.
If you revisit the post you'll see it's starting.
Oh, haha, I get the poking the masses. But guess I haven't seen anything on it's starting.. (as in recruiting upper crust instate talent) other than Lipsey...but it's a start.
Yeah I could’ve rephrased it better as what you said is exactly what I’m thinking
I get what your trying to say, but just pointing out, Jackson's numbers are very similar to Sandfort's. I get there's more upside with sandfort, but just this season, they're basically the same.
This is the 2nd guy we're known to be looking at yeah? Would love if the OP or somewhere kept track of guys we're looking at
3rd, right? The 6’8” kid from Maryland, Gainey from Brown, and this guy. First guard.
Jackson never plays anymore, and Sandfort cracks a much better rotation than ours. I don't even equate the two.
Iowa’s guard rotation is much better than ours? That’s hilarious. Some people just don’t believe there are 2 ends of the court. Shooting is important but so is defense
Oh I understand its importance, but the original conversation was talking about offensive numbers/contribution , since most fans have been begging for 'shooters'.
19 pts, 6 reb against Oklahoma
16 pts, 13 reb against LSU
11 pts, 5 reb against Houston
12 pts, 11 reb against Tex AnM
12 pts, 4 reb against Baylor
20 pts, 7 reb against SMU
YES PLEASE
Damn. Yes that's a definite want. Let's grab him and Llewellyn
And he might prove over the next couple years he would have been a good get. But the difference with a DeVries or Sandfort is height.
If I was a coach I would build a roster with as many 6'5" to 6'7" jump shooters as possible. The added benefit of rebounding and defending the opponent's 3 point shooters make these kids key in building a roster.
So I would "take a risk" on a taller player that I wouldn't take on a player 6'3" or less.
