Once he grows into his frame with a college S&C program, I see Lewis being a great player for us.
This. It probably won't happen right away, but McNeill's potential looks to be extremely high. Excited to watch him develop over the next few years.
If he could make his way onto the floor for some extended minutes early in the season, to gain his confidence, it will be huge in his development and mindset going forward. The last thing you want to do is discourage him, because I really think he could be a very solid player for us down the line. But Prohm isn't the type of guy to just throw in a young guy just because. So it will be interesting to watch how that plays out.
This is awesome. Great for LW and great to have the program associated with 5 star talent.
Much deserved, the kid had a great season. He didn't play much PG at Oak Hill but the sneak peak we got at the Nike hoops summit was very encouraging, even if his offense takes a while to adjust (I don't think it will but you never know with fr), he still looks like a guy who can distribute and get other guys involved from day 1.
Not that it matters, but what number was Lewis before?
I know a place that has room if Florida starts to have second thoughts.
That's based on Young, right? That didn't make sense, but it's also a small sample. I don't think any of the four freshmen (with Lard) will need "just because" minutes though, they all bring enough to the table to merit immediate minutes. Regardless of rankings, all four have the upside to become impact guys.
Agreed, that all 4 have the ability to become impact guys. But if any of the 4 is going to have a lesser load this year, it is McNeill. And my point was more, I hope he pushes himself into the line-up so he gains some confidence. The last thing I want is for him to come in, sit almost all of the year, then end up transferring and becoming the stud we know he can be. I know I shouldn't be thinking he will transfer right now, but was just thinking out loud. I love the way he plays, and want him to be a great cyclone.
I think Rivals has been doing it for a long time. If I remember correctly, we had one other 5 star that never made it to campus, or wasn't good at all.
If he would have signed with us he would have likely been top 50. Florida Mehr.
Can you name anyone who transferred out and became a stud somewhere else post McDermott?
"Stud" could have been a different word. But put up solid numbers at a mm school. Sherron Dorsey-Walker had a fine career at Oakland, Clayton Custer averaged 11.5, 3 and 3 last year as a RS SO, Percy did alright after leaving. Idk why we are arguing about this, all I was saying I want him to see more minutes than the garbage time minutes, ala Long last year, and want him stay.
