FWIW-
Ahh never said he is a starter… Perfect backup…..32 games 36 assists and 22 turnovers. Get your shit straight…
We don’t get 10 scholarships per year. We get 2-4 HS kids most often. Have to pick your guys and go for it.
Spencer’s entertaining. Loved it.
You don't mention it because you lack any courage whatsoever. This is why you think the world is unfair. The world chews up and spits out cowards. You chalk it up to something wrong with society when it's a something wrong with you.
Just so that we're all on the same page, I wouldn't be talking about Tibbets if I didn't understand the "why nots", it's sort of the hot take of "ya know, it's unconventional, but I think he can play". So I do get it and I do fully realize it's a hot take.
I’m saying over the course of his career, he will
Thanks for posting this - it's good to hear that there's no underlying stuff. Hopefully he gets an offer or two because he deserves it.
I know nothing about Tibbits other than the two games I watched of him on tv. I was blown away by his speed. I haven't seen someone play that fast with a basketball in their hands in a long time.
He definitely needs to put on some weight. 6'9" and only 190 lbs - he'll get destroyed on the boards against top D1 big men.
yikes
I understand where you are coming from, but if we give that scholarship to a Dodd, who ended up at Texas A & M Commerce and averaged under 4 points a game, we are doing the Mike Hurt thing all over. People are saying Henley isn't good enough, but then we want to add Tibbits or Dodd, who won't produce anywhere near the level of Henley. I rather not give Ogele a scholarship but don't think taking risk on low upside freshmen is the move either
Underrated recruit, yes. HM recruit, absolutely not! For some context: good playmaker and a deadly midrange shooter. Not a great defender or 3 point shooter. Flops a lot as well
I agree, I've been wrong on players I thought were good enough.
Championship game was the first time I saw him play but gotta believe size is the biggest thing he has working against him. Not just height but weight as well, he just looked really small. Good player and I am sure he will find a spot to play somewhere but it won't be at the D1 level most likely.
For this year It will be expanding to include football and such. C-G-B has really been hurting for football numbers the last couple of years and actually had to drop to JV schedule a couple of years ago. I live out in the region so I know this.
He does need to put on weight, but what he showed in the tournament that I hadn't seen much of before when I watched him live was a really good handle, a willingness to drive to the hoop, and more toughness inside. When you combine those things with his quick release and excellent touch, my guess is you're going to get a lot of big-time schools coming after him soon.
Will that push them out of 9 man football?
He's a year and a half from ever setting foot on a college basketball court. At 6'9" he was the best shooter in the tournament. He handles the ball well enough to play the 3 in college right now. At 6'9" he can get his shot off. While thin he is physical and a fighter and most importantly he is a winner big time. From a competitive perspective and intangible skills the guy he reminds me most of is Tre Jones. He's not a post player but is not afraid to take the ball to the basket and fight inside. If he can develop more of an inside game the guy I would compare him to is Rick Rickert. Chatman is ranked 30th by 247, McAndrew has a much higher ceiling and is probably better right now.
Rarely do recruits jump that high because the other guys in front of him are better in reality or at least in theory. Oh, and their games will likely improve as well (if you’re saying it will for him, then you cannot reasonably say it won’t for others, as that’s how logic functions); he’s not ascending a static ladder, it’s in motion, just as all things in life, per psychics.
Just found out. He got his D1 offer and I hope he does great - he deserves it.
Walk on at St Thomas. Would’ve been perfect to walk on at the U.
Not sure I agree with that sentiment. To me a place like St. Thomas makes way more sense because he will have a more realistic chance of seeing playing time at his size.
