How is everyone feeling about Louisville 4 stars these days?

 

 

He didn't play a whole lot at Louisville but it looks like he did get some non-garbage time PT

No that is Colorado, you know Iowa sucks and Colorado blows is why Nebraska is so windy.

If we can get a guy on campus and sell him the Terran Petteway and hopefully soon to be Andrew White road to excellence, we have a better than average chance.

Three games from the latter part of the season suggest that Anton Gill, (a) has some offensive capabilities, but ( b ) may be a little foul-prone. Here are three Anton Gill stat-line examples:

2/28 Florida St. game--made 5 of 5 field goals (including 4 of 4 from three) but committed 5 fouls in 12 minutes

3/7 Virginia game--made 4 of 5 shots (none from three) with 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals, but committed 4 fouls in 23 minutes

3/27 North Carolina St. game--made 3 of 3 shots (1 from three) with 1 assist, 2 steals and 0 fouls on 11 minutes.

Looked like he could score in High and Prep school:

Averaged 28.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists for Hargrave Military Academy, where he played his final prep year in the same backcourt with fellow UofL teammate Terry Rozier. Hargrave went 38-8 during the 2012-13 season.

Season scoring high as a senior was a then Hargrave school record 56 points in a game, a week after he scored 50 in another game in which he hit 10 3-pointers and was 19-of-24 from the field.

Averaged 18.1 points and 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals as a junior in leading Ravenscroft High School to a 31-4 record and the Class 3A North Carolina state championship.

Helped his team to a combined 78-14 record in three seasons at Ravencroft, where he was on pace to become the school's all-time leading scorer before transferring.

Had 14 points, six rebounds and two assists in the Ravens' state title game victory over Greensboro Day as a junior.

A first-team AP All-State selection as a junior, Gill was ranked No. 29 nationally in the Scout.com Top 100, 40th in the ESPN 100, and 48th nationally by Rivals Top 150.

Participated in the 2013 Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic all-star game, scoring 13 points and winning the dunk contest at the event.

His father Anton played basketball at East Carolina, earning first team All-Colonial Athletic Conference honors in 1995 and CAA All-Rookie team honors in 1992. He scored 1,485 points at ECU and ranks fifth on the Pirates' all-time scoring list.

Committed to UofL early in his junior year before also considering North Carolina State, Charlotte and Wake Forest.

Will face former Ravenscroft teammate Madison Jones (Wake Forest) this season.

Considering the trouble Lousville had scoring at times, it is not super encouraging that he could not find the court much. 

 

Three games from the latter part of the season suggest that Anton Gill, (a) has some offensive capabilities, but ( b ) may be a little foul-prone. Here are three Anton Gill stat-line examples:

 

My guess is that Pitino put more emphasis on guys who could play defense. We know what that's like.

From his junior year in HS

And this is from his senior year...

He has kind of a Sek Henry like outside shot, but the dude has a killer cross over move and he can dance with the rim...

Great comparison!

 

Stats from those games would seem to indicate that he is slow or has trouble moving his feet on defense or, I guess worst case, is just lazy defensively.

 

With the emphasis placed on D by this staff, it is hard to believe that a kid that couldn't see the floor at Louisville because of defensive lapses, and may have been encouraged to transfer despite a lack of returning players at his position, would find a lot of love at Nebraska.

I think that's a possibility and it's my first reaction though it very well might have been other issues. Agau was a "defense first" guy. Why didn't he even sniff mop up duty most games? Gill is a shooting guard who has hit under 40% of his FTs in college? Is he just a super athletic kid who doesn't bring enough to the table?

 

I would think that any sort of lack of defense, given his pre-college rankings and driving skill set, wouldn't be due to a lack of ability. However, while we have had a defensive skew the last couple of years the type of defense we play (trying to minimize good shot attempts) is markedly different from the type of defense that Louisville plays, which is more pressure based. 

 

His driving skill set is a skill set that Miles knows how to use and specifically with a transfer player (Petteway). If this guy has done is homework then hopefully he knows he can be successful in this environment if he wants to work at it. If he's a kid who just needs a redshirt year to develop and Pitino and company don't want to put in the work because they can just recruit over him, seems like a no-brainer on our end.

Apparently Anton Gill is a lean to ECU, according to a poster on huskermax.com

 

BTW, thanks for the virtual assist, dimes, in re-arranging my Gill & Maia posts!

 

 

If anyone is specifically linked to Nebraska, look for their own post out there

If we could get this kid it would REALLY NOT suck.

 

What if we got this kid and the Maia kid both?

 

Would that suck?

 

That would un-suck. It would be, "that which does not suck."  It would the least suckiest thing that ever did not suck.
