Sophomore

Sophomore (3/7)

  1. The tempo they play at is a lot of fun…and if they can run this much on an athletic big 12 team then the A10 is in trouble.
  2. The offense is the perfect balance of spacing and movement…the defense leaves a lot to be desired.
  3. Believe when he was the head coach at Mount Brook HS he played some local teams in the City of Palms Tournament in Ft. Lauderdale. Pretty sure he was doing poker tournaments on the side to supplement his income back then. He's very into analytics, know he used to ban his teams from shooting midrange. Don't know if he's carried that into college.
  4. Or intentionally not making the hire official until end of Summer so the coach can recruit free of rules and regulations the next few months. Tomorrow starts the first live period of the spring AAU session. Although think we all think our post savior will come from the portal and not the HS ranks.
  5. Agree with all of them except PG. I totally agree we need to move on from such a Yuri dependent offense but calling Hughes an upgrade is a stretch. He was never a PG in HS because of Rob Martin and the feel for the game for a true point takes a long time to develop. That being said, we all know that we had some atrocious decision making in the last 4 minutes of games from our guards last season. Hopefully Hughes having a more consistent 3 pt shot provides more spacing and counteracts some of his inexperience.
  6. It seems like Brad Beal Elite has a connection with The Skills Factory where Zhang goes b/c Dez White (George Mason commit) transferred there from Helias. Think at least one of their returning 17U kids plays there as well. Wonder if we have the same connection?
  7. OT: Does anyone know if SLU is requiring proof of vaccination for games this season?
  8. Lot of talent on display at the Ramey league this weekend. Be interesting to see who stands out.
  9. He played well at the Edwardsville Live Period event this weekend with Vashon. Vashon's depth is overwhelming and as of now them and Staley are the two best MO HS teams. Staley's two studs are definitely one to keep an eye on. Kayden Fish just got an offer from Xavier after mainly low major interest and Kyan Evans is a dynamic point guard. Jordan Pickett from Belleville East, Iziah Purvey from Webster Groves, and Bradley Longcor III from Quincy were other guys who stood out.
  10. Believe he has a relative who played for UAB as well. Think Kramer is a more physical player than Crawford, he'll post up quite a bit for SLUH when the matchup presents itself.
  11. There's an old coaching saying that they only make all 3 FT's 33% of the time. Obviously not very statistically based but if you take Wiz's 71.1% FT shooter you end up with a 36% chance of making all 3.
  12. If we weren't so deep at the wing I'd find Watson tempting. Such a weird case because he tried to completely change his style in college. He was a slasher with an inconsistent jump shot in high school who excelled because he's got length and athleticism. In college he's relegated himself to a spot up shooter and been inconsistent. With our current roster he's not worth taking over a Hargrove or Strickland
  13. Yeah Gassama, I was impressed with his improvement this year. 9-16 from 3 and over 70% from the FT line. 9 rebounds a game, plays hard and physical. Especially when you consider DeSmet hasn't played a ton of games so been hard to find a rhythm. Big time rematch on Friday against Cardinal Ritter that will probably turn out to be the Class 5 State Championship I forgot Turnbull was 2022 though, was thinking he was a senior. Especially offer him now with that in mind.
  14. Turnbull has had one of the biggest single season improvements in recent years in Stl. Averaged 4 pts per game last year as a 6"4 kid. Grows 6 inches and starts dunking everything. He is a good athlete with good lateral movement for his size. Think he can handle it some and has shot the 3 better this year (37%). I'd prefer him over his teammate Lee. Not sure who I'd take between him and the DeSmet big who is also having a nice season (though didn't play in their sectional win this week).
