Ten thoughts from the LeBron James Skills Academy

Postby CoxMustangFan » Wed Jul 16, 2014 6:35 pm

Sorry if already posted...

8. SMU got the class's best shooter in Matt McQuaid: If R.J. Hunter was the best shooter of the college guys, I would take McQuaid among the class of 2015. I watched two full games of McQuaid, and I don't know if he missed a 3-point shot. He has very deep range on his jumper, and has the confidence to knock down shots from several feet behind the line. He also is very capable of making contested jumpers. SMU's roster is filled with athletes and length, but McQuaid gives the Mustangs one of the best shooters in the country -- an added dimension for the Mustangs. Moreover, he doesn't complain about shots. He's content to let other guys make plays with the ball in their hands, and then simply knock down perimeter jumpers.

I'm thrilled with McQuaid and Barefield. Both are underrated but still ranked in the top 100 of the 2015 class. To Manx's point of focusing on 20-150 kids, I believe these type guys are the target moving forward. Of course we will always take 5-star, top 10-20 kids but a championship team can be built with 20-150 kids. Let's add a couple of 4-star forward-centers in this class and keep the train rolling. #BestProgramInTexas
