Im just of the mentality of with Bliss Cofie and Robinson already locked up, if we get Adrien Stevens and London Jemison idrgaf who else is on the roster we are rolling LOL.

I still think it’s a pretty nobrainer decision. We have 13 scholarships. Need guys who can buy in with those 8 to 13th spots. A top 5 3pt shooter is a good one to throw a scholly to. And it doesn’t really dissuade anyone else unless Sharma pans out which is then still a win.

If he’s woldo it’s a win. If he’s taine then it’s still a win because it means no future recruit will care as a hurdle and we’ll still have a high character guy hanging around the lockerroom who could be usefull at a time or two.

He’s got good size, the jump shot looks really good (even if he’s not hitting today), and his handle is serviceable. I think I can see it. The total lack of explosive athleticism and not having much scoring beyond shooting the three is also noticeable too though.

To me his theoretical upside is like Kirkland brand Joe Harris and his floor is something like Woldo. But I also don’t know what I’m talking about.

Bliss Cofie Robinson man. Definitely lot to be excited about there for me

I also just want to throw in, still conflicted about Chance Mallory. Watching him the other day did nothing to alleviate the defensive concerns. But man he is an incredible talent offensively and so damn fun to watch and so dynamic. Not even the 3pt shooting but the skills and the pump fakes and the vision. Really can change the game in a heart beat offensively. But then the thoughts of Roach/RJ Davis cooking when Reece had to guard Caleb Love/Proctor and vice versa creep up. Hmmmmm

Like literally a better version of Nijel Pack (also lmao at espn listing him at 6ft).

By the way Fresh, who’s the next NY/NJ area guy that you are going to peep to Jwilly?

It’s funny - I was literally going to say that Ft Erie looks jet lagged in that game - and then realized that was their 2nd game in the same day after a transatlantic flight. Barca got every 50/50 ball - all of them.
I guess we should be concerned that any day the Hoos play twice - don’t play Sharma the 2nd game?
0-12 FG and 4 turnovers and his teammates especially the guards were a hot mess.

By the way I’ll take Barcas #32 as our next combo guard please. Dudes a stud.

Hmmmm I like Taine, but it’s tough to just ignore someone who is on your roster and is in their 3rd/4th year of college and you don’t give them ā€œanyā€ playing time without feeling guilty. Point being, that someone more talented may be behind Sharma that we will have to ā€œmanageā€ their minutes.

With that said- I hope/believe that Sharma will be pretty good!

For those that want to see their full first game when they weren’t exhausted:

That’s true. I’m liking the energy of the NY area guys, Dunn, and the *confidence of Gertrude and hopefully Bliss continues to represent.

Was he locked in and still getting beat? That’s the time I get concerned in high school or AAU play. Lack of focus or not knowing how to play hard every possession is just being a high schooler. Heck, I watched Reece look like a turnstile defensively several times his final AAU summer and senior year of high school

I saw very little but he was locked in and trying. Flow of the game was just strange what I saw

Moreso just his size. Pretty sure the effort was there.
