If they’re a 6’7” sniper, 4 Star, Top 125, and from the state of Kentucky, then we absolutely should look at their recruits.
Dickie Parsons grew up at Yancey in Harlan County and graduated from Harlan High School in 1957. He earned three varsity letters in basketball at UK and finished his career in 1961. Wah Wah Jones concluded his UK career in 1949.
Reed is an explosive athlete with a great first step. He drove for wide open layups against elite D1 talent..He might not be the top tier of athletes, but he is well above average. I've watched him play since middle school. You don't go play against multiple players considered top 10 talent in an AAU game on ESPN and be by far the best player on the floor without being a great athlete. His dad played in the NBA and his mom was Ms. Basketball . You don't get to that level without being great. Only 1.2 percent of NCAA basketball players make the NBA. They are not taking Rudy's just because they have a big heart with lots of intangibles .
Stop dude. Just stop
As I said, the HS numbers back up Noah being the better shooter. Reed had one of the greatest shooting season ever but that wasn’t on par with his past shooting numbers. He gets credit for that but he never was going to sustain that over multiple seasons. Noah has proven he can shoot that same percentage. In fact, he shot higher than that during the state tournament. He is simply a better shooter. Reed is more athletic and a better overall player but Noah is the better shooter. Telling me to stop won’t change that fact.
But you don’t know that. He can hit wide open 3s which would be hard to beat in horse.
Chandler probably here for a while as well.
Yup, a couple of the transfers are juniors too, that gives us what like 5 guys or so we can build off of starting next year. That allows our HS recruiting to take shape, and target specific portal guys if we can keep that core around. I believe Lanier has 2 years. He is listed as a junior because his first year was the Covid season. Only 10 games played.
This is the new go to slander on this board. If you disagree with anything at all they say you love Cal and should go cheer for Arkansas. It's a nonsense attack to try to drown out dissenting opinions.
"I'm here to back everything Mark Pope does" Weird statement.
That is who I think of. They are built alike. I will take 4 years of that.
I was just reiterating how Reed was so underrated as an athlete. No argument here. The NBA does look at intangibles, but if they think you are going to get abused by superior athletes every night you are not going to be a top 10 pick.
That doesn’t change the point or make it any less valid which is you don’t know what they will do until they step on the court.
He may not but that doesn’t mean coming into their freshman years out of HS he wasn’t the better shooter. The stats from HS back that statement up.
No we shouldn't. If they are not good enough they should not be trying to compete in the SEC period. Noah does not fall in the not good enough to compete category. I think he will play a lot of minutes this upcoming season.
Reed in high school was a career 38% 3pt shooter
Noah finished about 4 to 5 percentage points higher than Reed. I’m not arguing anything. I’m stating a fact. People like you are arguing it not me. I’m simply stating a fact about their HS careers. Take your own advice about arguing.
Well show your stats.....
