RiseAndGrind Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 13 minutes ago, Pistol said: I know young players are trending back to the shorter shorts, but this look on GJ makes him look like he has some tree trunk legs in that video. He used to be a lot heavier earlier in HS. Not saying this is good or bad - he'll have a better chance of getting minutes if he can physically match up - but it's an interesting look on his frame. Agreed. I think it's easier for the younger guys with some excess weight to turn it into muscle than the young guys who are super skinny. I have no complaints with our S&C coach, so hopefully Gibson can totally buy-in and be a huge weapon. We've seen how valuable outside shooting can be (see: Wiley & St. Joes) .

3star_recruit Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The more I see of his game, the more Jimerson reminds me of Brian Wardle. If you run him off the line, he takes a dribble and cans a 17 footer. If you foul him, he is damn near automatic from the line. Glad he's on our team.

His highlight reel looks a lot like Mike Crawford’s did. Main difference being Jimmerson is playing against real talent, and Crawford was doing it against teams of 6’1” chubby hoosiers.

Just think about it 6 freshmen. Do you really want a class with that many freshmen in it? If you sign a class with 6 freshmen you can assume 2 or 3 will transfer before the end of their freshman year. That is fine as long as everyone understands it ahead of time and doesn't panic when it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks athletic for a human, but not for an A-10 basketball player, in my opinion. That said, he’s pretty tall for his position so that will help to compensate.

That is fine as long as everyone understands it ahead of time and doesn't panic when it happens. I don't disagree but I would think that Ford is not looking to sign 6 freshmen. I would think 3 of the 4 open schollies will go to grad transfers, Jucos, or transfers. Trying to maintain a balance in your classes is still important and transfers only make it harder.

thetorch Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 He doesn't look athletic because he has short shorts on? Spot on evaluation from the board as usual. Billiken Rich, HenryB, VeniceMenace and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaman Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Remember back when shooting lights out was the definition of good in Basketball? Like beefing about Hammerin's Hank not fielding. (he could of course) but even if I'd find away to get his bat in the lineup. With French, Thatch, Goodwin all returning we got 3 A+ defenders one fill in blank with any eligible male and the scoring stud.

dennis_w Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Athleticism is great if you also have basketball skills, i will take a lesser athlete if he has the skills, i remember sekue who was apparently a great track athlete with no bb skills, BIG BILL FAN likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most valuable attribute one can have as a basketball player is being a great shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiken Rich Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'll say it again (and I'm sorry GJ.) Jimmerson looks like one of those guys. He's quirky looking, unassuming, and not ripped like Thatch or French. He's one of those guys that always seems to come out of nowhere and drop 20 on us. Looking forward to his arrival.

All it means is you can run fast or slow for long distances. Does not require good eye hand coordination or foot eye coordination. Remember the wide receiver for Dallas - Hays - could run like a deer but had no hands. He eventually got better but he was a stone hands for a long time.
