From his videos he's lights out from beyond the arc. Of course, they don't show misses in those promos. But he definitely has the form of a sniper.

It's not surprising to me that Yuri is the one we haven't heard anything about yet. He's such a low-key dude. In the meantime, here's a video of a recent workout with Pure Sweat and a shot of St. Mary's at The Boxing Gym: He's looking good post-shoulder surgery. He's not known as a shooter but his shot looks a little smoother - although it could be my eyes tricking me because I'm so used to seeing him in that bulky brace. Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with a much younger, more inexperienced team around him this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I consider myself pretty up to date on the recruiting and the associated videos, but I guess I need to watch more Yuri clips. I didn't realize he was a "sensation" (not a diss - I think he's going to be great. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/national-prep-showcase-saturday-recruiting-intel-things-we-liked Unfortunately under a section called "Mid-Major Love", but anyway, Corey Evans of Rivals wrote this today based on our guy's performance at the National Prep Showcase: Arguably a top five shooter in America, there are questions of where he might defend at the next level but one thing that cannot be swept under the rug is just how potent of a shot maker Gibson Jimerson is. The St. Louis bound 3-man can hit out of the spot-up, off of staggers and speed up his release whenever he needs to. Whichever situation, more than not, the ball is likely to go in, which it did on Saturday. Travis Ford had his fair share of shooters during his previous stop at Oklahoma State but Jimerson might be his best one yet…the Atlantic 10 must be warned.

slu72 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 If Yuri is all that he's cracked up to be and can bring it to the next level where does this leave J Good playing PG? Obviously we're not looking for Collins to score a ton, but are looking for him to be a zen master on assists. What's J Good thinking about all this since Isabell's getting most of the minutes at PG this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 No zone after he rips off about 4 in a row. Then they gotta put someone on him. Which should open up the inside. I'm excited about this kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dj will probably play more that Yuri French, Gordon, Goodwin, Thatch with DJ, Thor, and the incoming freshmen fighting for the rest of pt. The 5th starter completely depends on how Ford wants to run the offense next year at point but I think Thatch fills in Bess’s role and we put a shooter in like Gibson, Thor or Hargrove.

I was proposing that the team play a zone when he is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
