I'm not saying Hargrove doesn't have hops, but be very careful of looking at a picture taken on ground level and trying to decipher if his head was above the rim or his elbow is even with the rim. Angles can be very deceptive. VeniceMenace likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills_06 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Man you guys are totally over reacting. So he looks very impressive because he can jump so high that his head looks close to the rim to block a shot from a top 50 recruit in 2020 in a big game. Let me know when he grows 2" and can side step a trash can in an empty gym and his head barely breaks the plane of the bottom of the net.

Intelligence can take that into account and yet still be excited about our incoming recruit. Hargrove has some hops! His sweat has not yet been proven to cure cancer...but there’s a chance.

3star_recruit Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Wherever Hargrove's head is actually located relative to the rim, I've never seen a better leaper in a SLU uniform. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video was awesome and I shared it with lots of people. I'm just not sharing a still photo from the floor and saying his head is close the rim (Skip) or his elbow is even with the rim. Didn't mean to be a debbie downer just a bit of a realist. To 3-star, French may have something to say about your leaping ability comment. If nothing else, it's pretty comparable.

Spoon-Balls Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If Hargrove can be a legitimate 3 point threat next year, he’s going to be a star. We will need all the offense we can get after Bess graduates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that you cannot make an absolute judgement, but it is an impressive block and a fantastic picture. I look forward to that kind of play next year!

Pistol Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 3 hours ago, ACE said: That is awesome! Does Hargrove have a reputation for being a shot-blocker? French and Hargrove could be quite a swat team. Hargrove averages 2.9 blocks per game. To put this in perspective, Gordon averaged 2.0 blocks per game as a senior at WG last season and he had more blocks than French through 13 games at SLU, before he left. Gordon had 23 to French's 18; French has since swatted 9 shots in the 4 games since Gordon left, so he's inching closer to last season's pace (1.8 BPG vs. 1.6 BPG currently). Hargrove has exceptional bounce and length. We haven't had a player like him in quite some time. Hargrove feels a little more like a Romar recruit to me; he was the last coach who managed to successfully recruit a handful of really athletic wings. I'm not saying we haven't had any since then, just not quite this style. Depending on how we fill the roster out, Hargrove may or may not have the opportunity to be the same shot blocker he is in HS. If he's guarding the wing more, he's going to be facing more jump shooters, but if he's playing more 4, he'll be closer to the basket like French and have more chances. I think he's a wing in the long run, so this is more a comment on what he'll be able to do next season. Coming into this season, I expected the combo of French, Gordon, and Santos to lead us to a school record in blocks for a season (169, set in 2009-2010; last year was second, with 146). We're not going to touch that now, but it's good to know we've got at least one more shot blocker on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
