BLIKNS Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Thinking this was like a week before , maybe Derby Classic??? Thought he should have won the MVP of the McDonald's game, but somebody else won, if I remember correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very low scoring and the best performances were on the team that lost by 20 points. Larry had 17 and 9 but his teammate Kenny Gregory won the MVP.

He deserves a ton of hype (probably more than we’re giving) but Travis is also doing an unprecedented job bringing in talent. I can’t believe this kid is a “walk-on”.

billikenbill Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Just a guess, but it seems to me his “walk-on” status won’t last more than one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills By 40 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Playing alongside Hensel Enmanuel in that video...one-armed kid that has an offer from Penny at Memphis. Am I the only one that thinks there's no chance he's successful at the college level? He gets so much hype but like imagine playing soccer with only one foot...

As I said before, I believe the Hughes family does not need the money or the scholarship. In my opinion, they are allowing the scholarship to pass onto someone that needs it. Larry Hughes II can play as a starter without a scholarship, he is good enough for it. Zink likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The height is there but I need to see him put on some weight. That's a given, but the question is how quickly will it happen and can his skillset transfer seamlessly? Sometimes added strength/weight takes a while to get used to, especially if it's put on quickly. LHJ is 6'4" 165#...I'm lean at 5'10" 168#. I'm trusting SLU's staff and facilities to put 20# on him real quickly. Banging in practice with guys like Hargrove, Parker, Thatch, Pickett, Perkins oughta muscle him up real quick.

And I realize that his weight is the biggest factor between him being a walk-on at SLU and being a nationally touted recruit - knowing that makes him all the more excited. Shoving PBJ's and grilled chicken down his gullet is an easy fix and the talent is already there, so I think we should be way more excited about our group of Freshman - Thames-LHJ-Kramer with four years to play together is an exciting 1-2-3 to say the least.

AND to carry on with this excitement...three years of Sincere Parker to play alongside them. Assuming we add a big man with some eligibility (Carr?? 3 years.) and then John Bol in two years?? A lot to be excited about assuming the portal doesn't destroy this young core of studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 i really like the video of hughes jr dunking over the defender in that all star game. this is not the ordinary walk on. Old guy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 No, he is not really a walk on. The only way he is going to stay a walk on is if he decides he wants an academic path rather than a sports path in his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're ugly as balls. Embarrassingly enough, I did have a Bryant Reeves jersey growing up. I was a sucker for expansion teams and he was the only dude available. Wish I had kept my Toronto Raptors Starter jacket from middle school though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
