Big men notice inside out game?

Post by Tbuck12 »

How does our offensive style impact recruiting?

Not sure of the stats, but it seems the vast majority of our points come from the paint. First point of attack is down low.

Is this style of play attractive to the bigs we are trying to recruit?

On the flip side, is this unattractive to guards? Larry still encourages kids to run on fast breaks... but is there any deterrence to a inside out style of play?

I don't think the style of play has any impact on recruiting. I think that comes down to LB & his staff.

I think the offense looks pretty balanced to me.

Basketball has always been a game where you look inside & try to get the ball down low for the easy basket. The 3 point shot has changed things, but you still have to go inside if the big has an advantage.

Its all about taking advantages of the mismatches on the court, & LB is a master @ that.

Some college teams have the 3 point shoot as a major option in there offense. I think LB's offense does help us with Turner imo.

If they are watching closely, I would say yes absolutely (wonder what hoopmanx thinks). I wouldn't worry too much about guards since we got the best in DFW this year and just signed the best in the entire country for next year and even in a good position to pick up the next best one the year after that (Ferguson). :-)

In a perfect world they'd notice, but in the real world, none of these bigs want to play back to basket, including turner who likes to face.
