It's all relative to his size. Most 6'10" guys can't dribble or shoot at the HS level. It's even rare in college.
To clarify, I meant more skilled than McKay, which I think is a fair assessment because Jameel was not very skilled. It looks like George has a little bit more talent when it comes to shooting and ball handling, although I do agree that he is still not a "skilled" big man.
He appears to be quite skilled at the lesser basketball skill of shot blocking.
I was responding to the phrase "three main basketball skills".
Hopefully Conditt can bring some solid bo staff skills to boot (so that he can one-up Hogue's flying kick rebound).
We always forget the part where a WVU hillbilly punched Monté in the face right afterwards.
The wife I and happened to be watching Michigan St's senior day, he was injured and couldn't play, he was pretty emotional, they made a big deal about how bad it was that he was injured his sr season........outloud to my wife I said Eron Harris.... what a piece of ****. I still don't feel bad about it.
The best part of that clip is the doosh bag Mountaineer fans chanting Eron Harris' name after he cheapshotted Morris who had nothing to do with the play that got missed. Certainly showing their class there.
Tyler Cook is the first good recruit they've gotten that didn't either grow up a Hawkeye fan (Marble, Woodbury, Gessel, Gatens, both his kids, Weiskamp), follow a girlfriend/fiancee (Uthoff) or end up there because the school they wanted to attend had to stop recruiting them (Jok). I can't even think of the last time Iowa State got a player basically handed to them like that. Maybe Michael Jacobson as a transfer who sounds like he wanted to play here all along.
It is very strange that the best in state basketball players all seem to grow up being Hawkeye fans. It's almost bizarre. I guess the only one that didn't was Harrison Barnes and we don't want to go down that road.
