big red22 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 First, I've already took back my displeasure of his commitment. I ate my crow over a year ago about being wrong on my judgements That being said... someone requested that I show them the video that made me skeptical and I could never find it until now. Keep in mind he is a Sophmore in this video http://vimeo.com/18281653 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipsucks Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I wish they would have zoomed in and spent a little more time with the woman walking with the fat guy at the 1:00 mark. She looked like she had potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketballjones Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 That video made you skeptical? Did you, "keep in mind," that it is his sophomore film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmykc Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Cip: Your chick detector is tuned up way too high. The lady, who appeared for at least a nanosecond, would not have fared well to close scrutiny or she wouldn't have been accompanied by the somewhat horizonally challenged gentleman. What attracted my attention were the long white sleeves on all the players. Don't they heat the gyms in Wisconsin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I agree. It was turrible video. Turrible. First, as cip says, they didn't zoom in on the WWP (woman with potential) early on in the footage (like what were they thinking?). And the camera work was generally horrid. Zoom back for gawd's sake. Hate it when the action is taking place off camera. If you're not going to follow the action, zoom back. Duh. As far as the kid is concerned, he didn't hit every shot, but he did plenty of good things in the video. He clearly has a nice stroke from outside. Plus, he appeared able to drive the ball. And it wasn't really a "highlight" video but just a collection of clips from a single game. Knowing he was a sophomore, I would have been reasonably impressed. Especially with his jumper. This kid has one of the nicest left-handed jump shots I've seen in a high schooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atskooc Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 He's got a quick release. That's what I found most impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49r Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I don't know, jimmy, I tend to side with cip here. I watched her clip a few times now, and I think she has potential. Sure her game may be a bit unpolished, but she appears to have all the tools you're looking for. But, as Norm said, there just isn't enough film on her to make a proper evaluation. I'd need to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uneblinstu Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Why did that video make you skeptical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskerpapa Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Here ya go Cip...just for you, I found a close up of that young lady - enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Smith Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Cip, It's quite likely she's a Monet. Looks good from afar but not so much when you get up close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daledangdarn Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Wow I am very concerned, kids do not grow or learn from sophomore to senior season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
