Along with Mudiay we need some scorers

Postby SMU 86 » Mon Nov 18, 2013 9:45 pm

If we could get a one or two pure scorers next year it would help Moore and Frazier.

And a big that has some sort of offensive skill-set. The bigs aren't even a threat outside of Ben Moore and he's just a freshman.

With the two scholarships we have left if we get Turner and Bolden that would be it. But if we do not get them I wonder what other two we could get?

That would be an absolute dream scenario. And the only two Brown really wants right now from what the national analyst I asked said. He's a high school basketball national recruiting analyst for a major site, very dialed into this stuff.

He said Dorian Pickens might be another guy they look into fwiw.

We already offered Pickens, but he's not scheduled to visit right now. We could use a shooter like that

I hope you're not serious and just going by the last few minutes. He's got 4 boards today. He's been soft and his points are coming at the charity stripe. He's a fine player, doesn't mean that having an offensive skill-set alongside him wouldn't help.

Yeah, he was more saying they aren't going after him right now. But is something they may revisit and really explore if Bolden doesn't work out. You know how basketball recruiting works, you just move down the line. In football you can afford to miss on prospects but basketball you just can't afford to do the same with 15 scholarships. I personally haven't seen Pickens on the AAU circuit unfortunately so I can't even speak intelligently about him other than limited tape I've seen.

You haven't watched, give it a rest, He's scored over both shoulders and forced them to foul. He's had a nice night

He's not a high major athlete, but great shooter. Problem is that Stanford has a huge lead, no chance unless he waits till Spring

lol, one bucket over each shoulder is not a scoring threat. I wouldn't even guard him til he's two feet from the rim. And I have watched. Ben Moore has had a nice night in his minutes.

What's the deal with Stanford? He got the academics to qualify there? Most the time, a kid set on Stanford academics isn't going anywhere else. Tough to compete with, one of those qualities that if academics are that important, Stanford is quite enticing.

Don't be that new guy [deleted], the kid can play and was good all night. He only got 7 shots b/c the backcourt was too busy turning it over or chucking. He shot over 50% and nailed all his FTs. He scored efficiently and w/low post moves. He should have grabbed more boards. He's been the least of our problems this year. Ben Moore has been nothing short of great. Kennedy was a no show

He was accepted already, everyone has him committing to them. We didn't even offer till September
