Nothing flashy but effective & an outside threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could call hankton a poor man's welmer. we'll really never know. Sure welmer was better as a frosh at 3's while KC had the big advantage at the line, but KC has a ton of potential too. And 2 inches in height can really help with wingspan regarding the rim protecting. KC to me is a SF aka 3, while welmer would have been an ideal 4.

3star_recruit Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 You can't tell how good a shooter a guy is based on 2 shots and 6 min a game. KC didn't get enough minutes to get into a groove last year. This year he has a chance to double those minutes.

Cowboy Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 1 hour ago, Pistol said: Hankton's trigger looks pretty quick in this video, too. If he can hit at a consistent clip, he has minutes in his future. When I was at SLU back in the early aughts, we practiced at Harris-Stowe from time to time, too. Sometimes the floors need to get waxed. Sometimes the women's team or volleyball or another team has the gym reserved. Sometimes there's a camp in the summer. It's a non-issue, and we're lucky to have a gym across the street that the players can walk to for summer workouts. -come on, don't throw reality into the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Not to discount the glowing accolades heaped on Jimmerson, but Yuri Don't Worry received some high praise as well. Love the "old school" PG comment. We got us a Cousy and Stockton in the making, fellas! I can already here the Oohs and Aahs reverberating from the rafters after his sweet passes.

They, along with Bell and Diarra, will have have an excellent shot at surpassing the legacy shared by the Evans/Jett/McCall/Loe cohort. I don't know if they can surpass the total number of conference exploits of their predecessors (2 reg. season titles & 1 conf. tourney championship) — but it's possible — but they should have a good shot at exceeding their total of 3 NCAA Tournament wins and getting the program beyond the 2nd round for the first time. They have the benefit of playing two years with higher caliber upperclassmen (at least somewhat so) than the Evans/Jett group had, and they'll mostly likely get some more help in the classes to follow them than Crews could bring in for Majerus's guys, because Ford is a far superior recruiter.

almaman Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Let's hope all 5 are present and unhurt in 4 months, then the dreaming can commence.Looks great on paper but we've had that dissipate few times post the first grade coach. If they are there and we have Perkins too should be some fun OOC games before 2020. I love the sharp shooters height. He and Yuri could shatter some stats in a 4 year run.

slu72 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 You have to like the way Ford has crafted this incoming class. He'll have 3 Jrs, 2 Sophs, and 5 FR. It's not a hodge podge of athletic types that we're going to be square pegs trying to fit round holes. A true natural PG, a sharp shooting wing, a real leaper who can be a menace on the inside, and two full bodied bigs. Playing alongside French and JGood they will learn quickly. Now, if the two Sophs step up we could be in for a very special ride. I'd like to see another sniper and PF in 2020 to round out this group.
