I can't say any names with 100% certainty. So you're telling me Tilmon is locked in after Groce gets the can? Or it's 50-50. Hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way I'm speculating on incoming players; outgoing, we've been kicking around the same few names for months now. I'd bet the farm on one more outgoing transfer, and would expect to see another one or two on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills By 40 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I played basketball with a guy at the student rec center yesterday who in 4 games touched the ball on every possession but one and passed the ball a total of ONE time. He was super talented, but that only goes so far. ML reminds me of that guy. Hope he can develop the weak areas of his game ie passing, teamwork, defense....

I'm guessing Leech is not like the guy you played with at the Rec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't exactly a guy that always shoots when he has the ball. I have seen his body and his defense question in this thread, too. First, he is 15 years old and his body will fill out some from just naturally maturing. Second, you can teach people how to play defense. You can't teach people the natural skills Leech has.

3star_recruit Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Leech's passing is fine. He's just allergic to rebounding and defense. But when you have the offensive and athletic tools he has, you're going to be given every opportunity to improve your weak areas. I just don't think it will be in high school. He's not being held accountable at Poplar Bluff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmbilliken Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The Venice menice wasn't much of a rebounder or defender, but he was all conference in a damn good conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I think we still need to try get in on Leech's BBE teammate Francis Okoro. Wiseman might be too much of stretch, but I have faith this staff could make Okoro a real possiblitiy. I think many think he was probably leaning Illini, but everything with the Illini will be up in the air when Groce gets canned. Plus, it doesn't require much extra effort to go after Okoro. They will already be following BBE constantly in their pursuit of Leech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes in some leagues or conferences you have a player that can run the court and carry the team on his back. The coach has him play almost the entire game, has him ease on defense and not be as aggressive in order to avoid fouling out, which could change the tide of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
