Aren't you comparing apples to oranges kinda? Obviously Iowa is a struggling team but Garza as of late has been scoring 15+ and 10+ rebounds. I'd take that from a freshmen. Just like we're getting from Lard now! I doubt we'll get that out of Conditt as a freshmen because he probably won't get the minutes.

247 is trash. THT not even top 100. Jerry Meyer needs to get a new set of eyes.
As of late he has been scoring 15+ and 10+ rebounds? He has done that three times all year. I will admit that he has done it twice in the last four games, but in his last seven games he also has games of 8, 6, and 6 points as well and games with 1, 3, and 5 rebounds.
As for what Garza is producing being the same as what Lard is giving us? I don't thnk so.
Garza:
Lard:
People are sleeping on him. It's going to be nice to have 2 good rim protectors the next couple years.
Data, data, data,....lol. Never claimed that Lard and Garza's stats were 'equal'. Both are contributing as freshmen. Also Lard has more athleticism as the poster pointed out. Just was replying and saying that Conditt probably won't get on the floor much as a freshmen to prove the previous poster's point. It really was about Conditt and Garza, not Lard. Thanks for the info, and I don't really want to read or talk about Iowa players for awhile.
FYI Conditt's dad and coach said there is no way he is redshirting and his coach said he's the best defender to come out of Chicago since Anthony Davis. Clearly he's biased but interesting they are adamant he won't redshirt
247 Composite just update their rankings....
THT with a huge jump of 46 spots to 65!

however
Zion Griffin moved down almost 30 spots to 118 (doesn't surprise me because his HS system does not allow him to thrive and showcase his skills like others)
Tyrese moved down to 168
George at 275

THT is going to get a big bump when 247 updates their own rankings too. The other 3 moved down
Interesting. Glad they are confident in his defensive skills, but the Chicago writer was adamant about him being a prime redshirt candidate. Big12 vs. class2A in high school is a big jump. But....having said that, I don't blame any player for not wanting to sit out a year.
Yeah, they have THT at a .9000 and #110. I'd guess he'll just to somewhere between .9450 & .9600 on 247. Not sure where that would move him in the composite, though.
Good article thanks for posting.
Really like this quote, fully expect Zion will see the court quite a bit next year.
Griffin said Iowa State coaches told him he’ll play “whatever he can guard,” whether that’s the two (shooting guard), three (small forward) or four (power forward). Chances are he’ll play a little of all three. He’s actually pretty college-ready in terms of his size and his array of weapons on offense.
pretty cool the dsm register hired a recruiting guy, and he went to chicago to write stories about our recruits.
I watched a lot of the Simeon vs Curie game yesterday and THT's versatility was certainly on display. He finished with 25 pts, 7 rebounds, 5 blocks, 5 steals, and a handful of assists. He's really comfortable handling the ball for a guy his size. I noticed he mostly guarded bigger guys as he was probably the "4" most of he time he was on the floor but he could probably still guard a wing player on the perimeter. He was efficient inside the arc but probably about 1-6 from three for the game. As others have noted, he's very good at creating space with his step back. It will be interesting to see how CSP is able to utilize his skills next year.
Baron Davis called THT a Pro, in the first quarter, last night....

Tyrese Haliburton is going to do so well for Iowa State. This type of facilitating ability surrounded by those athletes in that system...scary

Guys with Conditts body type thrive in CBB all of the time now. You can work out and bulk up all you want but that’s not making you any longer. Length is a big X factor nowadays. Just have to put him in good positions on defense where he’s free to help from the weak side because he’s got elite shot blocking instincts and the ability to run out.
