Most follows seem like low major/mid major type teams… only other high major program that seems to be keeping tabs on him is Iowa

Jeez.

 

[IndySooner]

Jeez.

If Iowa is on him, I like it. McCollum will have a beat on D2.

If you watch the video, you'll see some special things:

• He can jump. Also, saw a few blocks and rebounds that came on the second jump. He can get back up quick.
• Moves like a SF, not a center, at 6'10".
• Shooting form (and ability to make a guarded shot) are top notch.
• Handles and footwork are great at his size.
• Dunks in traffic.
• NBA range.

Can he handle the physicality of the SEC? Would he fill the same space as Tae and Jeff? Can he defend? No idea on those questions, but looks like the kind of guy you could take a flyer on. Have a lot more hope for him than Holst for sure.

And plenty of guys on his drake team last year were D II guys that people were drooling over at the end of the season. Those ‘D II’ guys had good wins against major D I programs last year.

 

[Seymore Cox]

Which makes leading the conference in win shares even more difficult.

He was one of the reasons they were horrible. Played in a bad league with other decent players around him.

Pass. It’s the SEC…..

Yes, the redshirt freshman that averaged 21 ppg, had the highest FG% of any regular rotation player on the roster, led them in assists & was second in rebounds (and still didn’t lead them in turnovers) was the reason they were mid-pack in the league.

Then he transferred to a team that previously finished 5th in the league and led them to a league title while easily being their best player and was named conference player of the year.

But his game “doesn’t equate to winning” because Seymore Cox says so.

This is stupid.

Pj can hoop! Agree with ya

 

[thegreyghost]

Yeah lower level players can’t do well in the SEC….not sure why Dalton Knecht bothered showing up at Tennessee from Northern Colorado or Grant Nelson went from North Dakota State to Alabama

The team had Dainja, Sisse, the kid that transferred from Wichita State, and Hunter from Texas. And they played against south Florida, Charlotte , UTSS Rice and Tulsa. Dude you have no basketball knowledge

Non con was pretty legit. Most tough games they won!

But you go ahead and be mad

FWIW, on that Luke kid, the McCollum follow wasn't new. I assume Ben followed him when he was at Drake (or pre-Iowa).

Luke Barnwell, new Iowa asst, did follow recently.

Not sure Iowa would take him now that they got the Alvaro kid.

I definitely don't see a kid good enough to really contribute in the SEC and yeah, there's a reason most of his recent follows are low/mid major types.

OU is clearly looking for a cheap, useful option or two off-the-bench.

Tad followed Derrion tonight on IG...

Barnwell was the follow I was referring to.

 

[StoopsBros]

Tom Fox did follow this juco French kid...

I can't pretend I know much about him but he's a frosh (heading into his soph year) and I think he'd have to go back for another year. Not sure, though.

I see a high major athlete/moldable clay. IF he can go to OU now, I'd take him as a deep bench/development piece, for sure.




Heck, add this French kid as a combo/bench guard. OU can have The French Connection.

I’m not the one acting like a consensus 2nd team All-American that won 29 games, went 6-2 in quad 1 games, and was a top 5 scorer in the country, is a bad basketball player.
