Solomon Young...
- Thread starter 19clone91
- Start date
It just seems like something happened over the week or two that everyone avoided him like the plague.. Maybe prohm finally just strait up told the team they need to pass to him.. Monte passing to him right off the bat vs OU blew my mind

Totally agree. Ejim was smaller and didn't catch and finish as well as Solomon did tonight.
I don't want to put too much on Solomon, but that was a great performance tonight.
How about stepping up and drilling those two free throws with ease? Very confident release.
When he starts getting more looks in the post, with his size, players are going to foul him a lot over the course of his career. It's going to be nice not cringing every time he gets to the line.

I think it's really important this isn't the expectation but if he can just be a threat, that would make life much easier for everyone, Deonte in particular. Imagine a world where you can't collapse on him inside. Choo Choo mother *******.
The crazy part is he actually has a well rounded offensive game as well that we really didn't see much tonight. I mean most of his points were right at the run but he can step out and shoot very well for a big his size. Shown glimpses throughout the year
Makes you wonder why he didn't play more in the Texas game when we were getting killed in the paint. Glad Prohm finally went with his gut and is giving Young a bigger role. He should only get better with more experience hopefully. We've seen his smooth shooting stroke from time to time this year but I think he's really made strides defensively lately when we've needed him to step up and be a presence in the paint
I totally agree. I was so excited to see Solomon play without looking too hard for his jumper (which has been great). He played so much older than a freshman tonight. The credit goes mostly to Solomon but a little to Prohm, IMO.
Also to develo
Also to develop talent. SY wasn't this smooth or strong at the start of the B12 season.
Saving him for a late season run. Avoid the Freshman wall, he wasn't ready, he was learning on the bench. The biggest thing is he is a lot better now than he was a month ago. CSP was also giving the Srs a chance to step up and take that spot, they never did.
I don't think this has been mentioned yet, but earlier in the season, SY got into foul trouble very quickly. Not unexpected in a young forward. He had a bit of that last game, but tonight, he handled himself very well and was very controlled. The improvement he has made the last 3 games has been incredible. He has come so far since the start of the B12 season. Good on you, Solomon.
True. Love me some Solomon. Agree that Brodziansky will be a step up as D.Johnson was not 100%. Then there's the Baylor bigs. So while I'm extremely happy for the team and the young man, I hope he just continues to grow. Was it just me, or did Holden look awful out there? But maybe it was just because Solomon looked so good. For a minute, I was begging at the TV for Prohm to get Solomon back in there. lol
Mmmmm...or TJ's...but Prohm did a nice job of keeping him in the fold.
He certainly has better hands than young Ejim did. We called Melvin "Edward" his freshman year
I totally agree. I give a little credit to Prohm as well, for putting him in a position to succeed rather than put him out there too early.
No way to tell if ISU would win that game without Young (plenty of players hit huge shots and had excellent contributions), but when it was beginning to become a nervously-tighter game, he got some huge boards and put-backs.
