Basketbill Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Bartley can put on muscle become stronger, he should look at Steph Curry for a role model, that guy is pretty skinny for NBA, but may well be the MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlebill Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I agree that you need a midrange game to open up other pieces, but it still should be off of penetration and should consist of 10' - 15' jumpers ala Jett. Any shot from 15' - 20' is a bad one. Jett was famous for the 18 foot jumper. I agree with your point but that wasn't the best example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pelican Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Jett was a spring recruit so was Loe and Ellis if memory serves me right. Technically yes he was spring but committed to Majerus much, much earlier to Majerus than the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishdude Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Has there ever been a SLU roster before with everyone listed at 6'1" or taller? Not sure about that but if even two or three of the big guys come along well on their development and contribute we will have some big line up options should JC elect to go that way. SLU has never had this kind of length so if say AG, MN or maybe EW come along it will give us some new options for SLU for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyKen Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 In case any New Yorkers are interested in "seeing the kid play," Jermaine Bishop's team is playing at Baruch College today at 7:30. I will be there and will post a review this evening. It will be Bishop and NY's Mr. Basketball (Matt Ryan), who is a Notre Dame commit, against Jessie Govan, a G-Town commit, and Desure Buie, a Hofstra commit who has been mentioned on this board. https://notredame.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1751222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I agree that I would love to see that improvement, but there is a lot of great articles and metrics in recent years indicating that the absolute worst shot in basketball is the midrange jumper because the risk/reward is insufficient. The most efficient offense would include great 3-point shooters, slashers who can get to and finish at the rim, and big men who can rebound and finish in the paint. Dawyne Evans, Mike McCall, Rob Loe, and Jordair Jet were all ideal in an efficient offense because they all brought one or more of these strengths. I would like to see our returning guards work on the strength and explosiveness to get to the rim and finish their drives. Bo ryans and CRM's defensive game plan.

cheeseman Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I believe RM badly wanted Jett but he needed to go to prep school before coming to SLU. Does this sound right? Could be but either way he signed in the Spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlebill Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Technically yes he was spring but committed to Majerus much, much earlier to Majerus than the spring. Loe was definitely spring because he committed five years ago today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 There's a difference from someone committing in spring, but you've been recruiting them for a long time (Loe, Jett) and someone committing in spring, but you're only going after them because you need to fill scholarships and you either haven't been recruiting or you missed on all your main targets (Lancona, Agbeko) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 That ogre at NM St was terrible. This guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soderball Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 This guy? He was terrible in the one game i saw him play. Message board opinions matter little, especially for players that i dont watch. All that aside, the NBA has long had a thing for tall stiffs. He hasnt actually played in the nba yet, and that very article is already implying things by wording like "india's top businesssman". Remains to be seen if the enormous aggie can do anything. My initial guess is no, but obviously he holds his fate in his own hands. I wouldnt have wanted him on the slu bench, his build was terrible for the college game and dwight evans exposed that. Dont know the guy personally so wish the ogre the best in his efforts to go pro. Rise and grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 It was an all star game, let's hold the coronation of JB as the next Kwamain, and Neufeld as the next Willie "Applebee's" Reed. Yes, I do understand your sarcasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 That wasn't sarcasm, these guys sound promising & could give us the kind of back to back recruiting classes that Majerus brought. All recruits sound promising once they are signed and we watch a video clip where they never miss. You should see the accolades people heap on commits if they may have had an offer from a power 6 school. Here's hoping bishop is a good player but it's really just hope at this point...
