Bo Barnes recruit

If anyone has watched any NCAA tourny game thus far... any team can hang with anyone if they shoot lights out. ANY team. Look at UNI, all they do is shoot and play defense. What do you all think our offense is going to be next year? We can't say hey Brackins go ahead and score some points for us anymore. Garrett is good for driving ONLY. Colvin and Dendy can only score when they are in the lane. Ejim is suppose to be more defensively sound than offensively. Phillips is a penetrator. Outside of Scotty we have NO ONE who can shoot well.

The term "drive and kick" does no good if there isn't any one that can hit the shot once they get the ball. WE NEED SHOOTERS. From the two videos above this guy fits that status.

You guys will find any thing to complain about.


I think everyones point on here is.....

You could argue we have nobody to drive the ball to kick it.

We dont have much of anything.... so why not just take the best talent overall??

I completely agree. Hopefully if Barnes commits he's good enough at the other things that we can get him on the floor to shoot it.
 
To win games you have to score points. To score points you have to shoot the ball. This guy can flat out shoot the ball.
 
i dont know Bo

But i do know the robots that rip Eik are nuts. I would say he was exactly what this team needed this season. He was a guy that could come in and nail 2 or 3 straight threes in a row. Some must of forgot how smooth and what a decent ball handler he was, just needed to add more muscle. I still say Mac should try to get Dykstra, that was a big loss too imo. I realize like Eik, he needed more meat on his bones and didn't particulary want to put in the hrs, but seeing him in both state championship games he has big time potential.

Wrong he is not big 12 talent at all. class 1-A iowa bball and big 12 are worlds apart. Look at the stud jcs he is after. HE is putting together a good class

He may be getting stud JC's but take a look at what the other big 12 teams are getting.
 
Wesley Johnson wasn't rated worth a damn and neither was gilstrap ratings are overrated

Exactly. These kids today, I tell ya. If some rating site gives you a number, how is that taken as gold?

What do you suppose Ali Farokhmanesh was rated coming out of high school? Thank you!

While rankings aren't gold....they are right 90% more than they are wrong. It's not a coincidence that the teams that win national titles do it with the highest rated classes....and the teams that finish last in their conference, finish low in recruiting ratings as well.

You can find a rare case like Wesley and Gilstrap every now and then, but with AAU ball now a days, there aren't as many sleepers as there use to be

You're right...Loren Meyer, Raef Lafrenz, Jordan Egelseder, Jess Settles, Nick Collison (2A), and Klay Edwards had no business playing big time college basketball...

Until I see the proof, I'm going on the understanding that this is your personal % that you deemed fitting for the sake of debate.

I don't have statistical proof to back up my 90% claim but I would say that I follow college recruiting much more than the average person (sadly :wink:).

Look at conference standings and compare standings by where the school has ranked in recruiting the previous couple years. It is almost identical 90% of the time (nope I can't back up that stat either)

Give me stats, or give me tacos.
 
He has a slow shot idk if that will hurt him, but it could. People say he has range, but thats bc he has a slow shot... I didnt see him hit the 3 with a guy in his face who could tell the flavor of his gum he was so close...thats how BIG12 teams play D, so im not sure he will be a gr8 player could b wrong but thats how I see it.
