cheeseman Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Ricky/Charles Cranford actually had a strong finish to his collegiate career at Northeastern. Yes but that did not help us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 He came in heralded as the next Legend. Way too much hype. If he had stayed he might have been a very decent player, because he did play well for Northeastern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yes but that did not help us. Yea, Box, that shiz at Northwastern didn't help us one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidnark Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 From the video, he has a nice crossover and handles, as well as a smooth outside shot. I didn't see anything that showed me he has the requisite vertical ability for a 6'1" guard at this level. Small guards often struggle at the mid to high D1 level if they cannot jump. It is one of the biggest points of difference between legit D1 players and lower D1 or D2/3 talent. There are a lot of short, quick guards who can handle it and shoot it, but guys like Kwamain, McCall, and Jett were also effective because they could well above the rim.

kmbilliken Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 He also uses his left hand well and got off some very contested layups by extending his left arm and putting it up with the left hand, a move we saw Kwamain do many time with his right hand. If he can do it with both thats very promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlebill Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Jett was also good with his left hand on layups. He very rarely used his right, even though he was right handEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just won't be much of a factor on the boards. Kent Williams seemed to do okay with a similar skillset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Metzinger Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 That ogre at NM St was terrible. It's a good thing he (Sim Bhullar) didn't follow through with his original committment to Xavier... otherwise we could have ended up possibly playing him 3x a year (if SLU and X met in A-10 Finals).

drkelsey55 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Noticed his head is always up and looking for someone to pass to. If no one clearly open he takes to the hoop. JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Still nothing about this signing from our beat writer and not even a retweet about the Tatum visit, but he did have time to deliver this important nugget a couple weeks ago - Strong postseason for the MVC. Evansville won the CIT, Loyola the CBI. The conference was 14-3 overall and earned 5 NCAA Tournament units.

ACE Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Now now... he did retweet Mcbrooms tweet about going to Eastern Washington. He's amazing.

thetorch Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Durando is still reveling in all the shine he got on covering the fake marathon winner. I'm sure he is preparing to send those in to Pulitzer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
