Utah Valley isn't even Fresno State, but a tad reminiscent of Paul George going #10 in 2010 while Sherron Collins went undrafted. Of course, the scouts ended up being correct on that eval.
I could be wrong, but I thought Podz was a point guard. I remember BU saying one reason Podz didn't get much playing time was because he played the same position as Frazier and Belo.
I hope Clark and all the optimism is warranted and something to be excited about given his relationship with Tim Anderson. That being said I think NIL is very important too and that our players have an opportunity to earn as much or more here than elsewhere. I mean if an athlete could earn a good bit more money elsewhere would it out weigh a relationship with a coach. Or if they could earn more here that could help us get players too. Recruiting is vastly different and more complex than just 2 years ago due to NIL. I expect how much money they can earn could and will have a big impact on recruiting
The "10 toes" comment was also used by both TA and Belo in their posts after the Houston game.
The poster obviously meant "Bernie Sanders type player."
Sweet. Top 2% of the top 2%!
I think this is the typical Underwood coachspeak (aka BS). He was labeled a SG by everyone coming out of H.S., so I'll go by that.
So what is a "Bernie Sanders type player"
Surprised Podz didn't get more PT with some of the struggles the backcourt had. BU was glued to the seniors(understandable), but almost to a fault. RJ had his appendectomy situation, which was a set back, but he and Goode should(IMO) gotten much more action, even if just a token 10 minutes. They were definitely a spark late.
Any chance RJ or Luke are still growing? I thought that was mentioned over the last year.
I agree. That said, his own comments before the Houston game reflect that he does not feel this way. He essentially brushed off this exact criticism saying that he was a player that took risks others do not and that is what makes him who he is. The problem is that he seemingly has not learned risk assessment, when to gamble and when to not. Can he learn this? Absolutely. Will he? No idea, but I am super curious about that halftime conversation between he and the coaches which resulted in his sitting out the half after the 6 turnovers. Love the guy and hope he stays to grow into his full potential.
Near as I can tell, only talk of Curbelo not coming back is in the echo chamber of this board. One person speculates that his second half benching has left him dissatisfied, and it snowballs from there. But I’ve seen nothing outside of this board that makes me think anything other than he’s planning to come back.
Ok. I’ll bite. He can‘t go to his right?So what is a "Bernie Sanders type player"
When is the last time an Illini player developed a jump shot as a guard at his age? His form seems fine.
I disagree. His leg kick isn’t ideal.
I’d have to believe his improvement this year was severely impacted by his concussion. He does have good form, but missed a lot of reps.
Luther Head. Couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn as a freshman or sophomore, Kendall Gill. Chester Frazier his senior year. I can go on. Ayo improved from his Freshman yr.
