As well as Ryan Dunn the same time. Also, Zakal Zeigler visited Aug 4. Apologies if these were both already reported.
Have you ever seen Thorson coach? If so, I doubt you would include calm assertive behavior with him.
he's saying that's what he values in a player
Enlightening us
I think what he trying to say is at DLS, Thorson was very animated and boisterous on the sidelines.
Coaches have known about Schutt for several years. No special evaluation needed. Heck, he made 17 threes in a single game as a sophomore. Michigan State has been on him for a long time and he has made three visits to their campus. He is a priority recruit for Illinois, too. Duke offered recently.
Payne visiting next Sat. JOJ the Wed after that. Two out of state propsects the Thurs (following week) after that.
EXACTLY. And i have seen dozens of his practices and nearly that many games. Super focused and intense about teaching and what he cooks up is calm assertive players sure of their role and responsibility.
So 247 is reporting the JOJ visit August 25th....but he is taking his official here September 24th-26th....he has retweeted that tweet and the other site has said it was moved to then as it worked for his mom to be along.....i think....
Oop! I did see that in JOJ thread, and was just recapping what the public 247 visits page showed.
solid group of finalist to be in....247 has him labeled as a SG but Rivals and Verbals has him as a PG.....so maybe more combo guard? Anybody have more information on him other then being from the same school as our current guard Thiam?

Would be real nice to see two Denzel boom gifs come through next week after official visits.
Same high school at Thompson went last yearChisom Okpara, La Lumiere School , Power Forward

I like this as a very good sign. He is signaling the end game... !
Yes...animated, intimidating refs, loud, etc. as a head coach. He was well known for that at DeLaSalle. As an assistant at the college level, he has to take a different role and we won't see that in him as assistants can't behave that way and even if he was a head coach, he would not be able to act that way in today's world. Great teacher, holds players to a high standard, but did not model the behavior he would expect out of his players as a head coach at the high school level. Today, I am sure he would look back at how he behaved and agree he could have acted better, especially with the officials.
Yeah a lot of his animation and yelling was within the game. The times I saw him he was never terrible with officials, but I only saw him 8-10 times and most of those were at state tournaments where I didn’t have a real view so I don’t doubt you. The times I coached against him he was animated but it was mostly about defensive positioning and to have hands out and try to tip passes. He’s still loud on the bench as an assistant when I watched CSU games you’d see him, but he’s less animated than when he was the HC obviously cause he has to sit.
nice! good observation.

as long as thompson is helping with chisom, perhaps he could pitch in to get us on the map with JJ Starling. starling was the PG on thompson's team last year.
might as well throw in Kebba Njie.....another top 100 recruit from that team as well....
Easy, easy, we don't just recruit any old top 50 prospect around here. We have standards.

here is a decent article for him....has a breakdown of each school.....Thompson certainly seems to be doing his part....
looks to be in the combo forward mold like JOJ, Smith, & Green that Johnson has been going after.
