Navin R. Johnson Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) 2018 F Russell Barlow of Berkner HS (TX) receives offer from Nebraska #TXBaller @Bigrussell21 Edited June 8, 2017 by Navin R. Johnson Quote
Norm Peterson Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 Not the best highlight video. Short, not a lot in it. Best highlight in the vid doesn't involve him. Misses a lot of close in shots (fouled, but still.) Can't really tell much about him from this. Will have to look for other vids. Quote

Coaches must see something that is not in this highlight video. Quote
Swan88 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 The video is from August 2016. He's now an ESPN four star. Maybe he's improved since then. Quote

Swan88 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) And, according to Rivals, he also has offers from Iowa State, Missouri, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M. And he holds a National raking by Rivals of 118. Edited June 9, 2017 by Swan88 Quote

It's a bad video for a number of reasons, not least of which is that they didn't film him for any length of time. If I had to guess, my guess would be that the AAU coach filmed it and was concentrating on the teammate with the big head of hair, #15. So, if this kid wound up in any highlights at all, it was just by accident. That would explain why they only managed enough video of him for 90 seconds of highlights. (By the way, #15 is Rivals 5-star Gerald Liddell.) Jugular and Swan88 2 Quote
Swan88 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 And Future150 lists Russell Barlow as a four-star, with a National Rank of 67. Hudl has a web page on him (but no video), where he's listed as 6'10" and 235 pounds: that's a couple inches and multiple pounds bigger than he's listed anywhere else. Quote
bobcat402 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 He gives me a tristan thompson vibes, which i we could use, and if he is now 6'10 240 even better. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted June 15, 2017 Report Posted June 15, 2017 A bit of a project, but he doesn't need to come in and set the world on fire. Might be even be able to redshirt. But I like what I saw and this late would be a very nice pick up. Quote

And, by the way, Russell is the #7 recruit in the state of Texas. [His teammate Gerald Liddell is the #10 player in the nation] Quote
