Zink Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 People who said that they didnt want Neufeld... did you watch this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-065ZUW1I44 I am very hyped for a player like this. Should start the party later this week... We sure do have a thing for lefty bigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 To me he definitely looks like a guy that could get recruited by high majors. Maybe he's just completely flown under the radar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Seems to have really soft touch around the rim, based off that very short video. I don't really think we've had anyone like that in a while. Conklin was more of a banger. I won't even discuss Manning in regards to touch. Loe obviously lived more on the perimeter. Maybe Dwayne was the closest we've had to having good touch on the block, and he was 6'5". It takes a surprising level of coordination to be able to create space with the fade away and convert. However, it also looks like he's not afraid to mix it up in the paint. I like what I see from this kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbofive Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Agreed, he's a baller who can slam dunk looks like psycho t's afterbirth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I liked everything I saw in that video except for his quickness. On some of his inside moves, he almost seemed in slow motion. The speed of the college game may give his some trouble. Loved his pull up shot from the free throw line. Very reminiscent of DE and BC.

I would think Phil Hunt could have put together a three minute highlight video from his days at Clayton that made him look like Marque Perry with a better jumpshot.

I would think Phil Hunt could have put together a three minute highlight video from his days at Clayton that made him look like Marque Perry with a better jumpshot. I take away things that can't be disputed like general athleticism and size, maybe shooting form. For example, it would be silly to look at that and say Neufield has great post moves or a consistent mid-range jump shot, because we simply don't know.

SLU_Nick Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 No one judges their shooting ability if that is what you mean... but quickness, leaping ability, height and finesse largely cannot be fudged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doowop Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 He has one BAD habit that he has to overcome. He continuously brings the ball down after he catches it. I don't see anything in that video that makes me think he is any different than the big men we already have. However, after a season at prep school and good college coaching, he may emerge as a really good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bring the ball down, you basicallly tell everyone, including the refs, that it's ok to come in there and beat the fuok out of you and take the ball. Dude's a tool. Also a racist, if he's narrowed it down to St. Mary's, SLU and Duke. If he signs with us, I guess I'll take it all back and support him unconditionally.

Maybe he is a good B-Ball player and smart as well !!!! Down to 3 top academic universities. All 3 schools recruit smart kids of every color. You are the tool for making such a racist statement.

SLU_Nick Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 So a big man rotation of welmer, jolly, gillman, neufeld in 3 years.... I have a feeling when Crews is recruiting these guys, he just brings up Rob Loe highlights on his Ipad and says, "this is you in 3 years" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 "He received a phone call from duke last week" that's good enough for me. Over time, "he got a phone call from Duke" will change to "he was being recruited by Duke." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizziken Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Apparently we are collecting big, white kids...Lancona, Gillmann, Jolly, Welmer, and now Neufeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Over time, "he got a phone call from Duke" will change to "he was being recruited by Duke." By next week I plan on claiming he was Duke's top target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
