šŸ€ May AAU Live period (2024)/Tony Watch

Acaden having a rough game shooting wise but he also should have 6-7 assists (box score only giving him 3).

Jemison is Jemison

Also man I was so wrong about Akbar Waheed. I think I said at one point ā€œhe’s probably better than Dixonā€ lol. This kid is a poor man’s Andrew Rohde (at least Rohde popped off during EYBL. Waheed can’t really shoot or get separation on anyone)

It says through only 3 quarters lol

Did I hear that Keith Jackson was a poor shooter? Or am I higher than i realize?

Also @Hooandtrue favorite player of the day: Kareem Stag.

Might overlap a little with Cofie but hell we took Dai Dai with Bliss so F it. Kid is a beast, from the 757 (but at IMG) and I noticed he follows UVA basketball on Instagram.

And not only is he athletic but he’s 8-16 from 3. He’s literally a better 3pt shooter than most of the guards on our damn roster. He’s one of the spring risers in aau so far.

This sequence is everything

(I really like that Boo Williams trio in general a lot: Crotty and Barksdale as well. Never knew I would find myself joining the ā€œwe need to recruit instate/local kidsā€ camp but here I am with Acaden, Chance, Stevens and this trio.)

Not sure if he’s a poor shooter. I think the knack on him is moreso his handle.

He’s 6-5/6-6 but plays more like a 3/4. It’s weird cause his game is nothing like Leon Bond’s and also completely different body types but at the same time sorta the same category.

What’s great if you blow up this picture, there’s McKay Getter and Wilkins all seated within about 10 feet of each other…like the progression of assistant coaches.

Also can’t imagine they won’t be offering Braylon Mullins. Wilkins has been to every game.

Mullins is hovering right around 20 ppg for the spring, currently shooting 51% from 3.

(Gotta dig down to the Indiana Elite team page to find his stats)

Lol, I thought I heard that before about Keith not being a good shooter . He was on fire today and that’s why I said that.

Not sure how much range he has. Only has taken 11 3s in 9 games this spring. But he’s pretty effective inside the arc. It was rough going vs Expressions, they had a lot of length to throw at him and kept the paint pretty crowded. But he’s shot a high percentage in his other games.

I was at Southern Jam Fest in Hampton earlier today, watching a kid play who I taught last year (now goes to IMG Academy). Paid $$$ to get in, so I wondered who else I should stay & watch. But it was overwhelming with 4 games going at once, and my son was hungry. So we watched the one game & left. (Hoped for a TB sighting, but no luck)

Just noticed I have a new phrase by my name @DFresh11 :laughing: TL;DR

Tony wasn’t out for the weekend ooooof. But seeing a kid you used to teach probably more than made up for it.

Im going to concede Adrien Stevens. Gertrude probably redshirting = he fills that role a little/there isn’t that two year gap between the two roster construction wise anymore and even if he didn’t we have a whole Shaka Smart relationship to overcome for him

Edit: Ryan Crotty’s numbers look real good so far.

Courtland Muldrew is another staff follow and a kid whose been blowing up this summer.

Can’t pull up his stats cause his page is wrong/shows wrong aau team and random stats that aren’t his.

A bird in the hand. Have we not learned our lesson? Dai Dai is a good take.

We already had two birds in the hand with Warley and Bliss.

We would have gotten Acaden most likely if not.

Anyways it is what it is. He could still hit. So we will see

(And hopefully Acaden is not off the table as well)

9:20 game slot Boo Williams vs Preston Fowler on court 1 could be interesting. That Dante Allen combo guard is also playing on court 4.

More likely though is Williford chowing down on the courtesy breakfast buffet or something like that

edit: Also didn’t even realize Colt Langdon is now playing for Boo Williams too. he’s been injured/also adjusting to playing for a new team so hasn’t done much

If Gertrude is not injured, then the staff likely passes on DD. Really messed with the recruiting plan. But, as HGN points out, there is PT for the right guy - which still may be Acaden.
