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 āheās probably better than Dixonā lol. This kid is a poor manās Andrew Rohde (at least Rohde popped off during EYBL. Waheed canāt really shoot or get separation on anyone)
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 heās 8-16 from 3. Heās literally a better 3pt shooter than most of the guards on our damn roster. Heās 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 āwe need to recruit instate/local kidsā camp but here I am with Acaden, Chance, Stevens and this trio.)
Not sure if heās a poor shooter. I think the knack on him is moreso his handle.
Heās 6-5/6-6 but plays more like a 3/4. Itās weird cause his game is nothing like Leon Bondās and also completely different body types but at the same time sorta the same category.
Whatās great if you blow up this picture, thereās McKay Getter and Wilkins all seated within about 10 feet of each otherā¦like the progression of assistant coaches.
Not sure how much range he has. Only has taken 11 3s in 9 games this spring. But heās 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 heās 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)
Tony wasnāt 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 isnāt that two year gap between the two roster construction wise anymore and even if he didnāt we have a whole Shaka Smart relationship to overcome for him
Edit: Ryan Crottyās numbers look real good so far.
edit: Also didnāt even realize Colt Langdon is now playing for Boo Williams too. heās been injured/also adjusting to playing for a new team so hasnāt 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.
