BBall Recruiting Thread 2k20 - Watson/Adams - Gibson/Bailey ('20) & James ('21) Gone

Just kidding.

He's the #171 recruit nationally, #23 nationally at Center, and the #4 overall recruit in KY.
 
He absolutely is no athletic marvel but does have a good skill set for a big man. No way he has just an 11" vert, on his video I swear he must have gotten 15" off the ground :beer:
Regardless it takes a person with great courage to commit to Dan man. so welcome, I guess
 
Here's a kid I've been following that might be of interest to Wake. https://www.indystar.com/story/spor...etball-brilliance-starts-his-head/4650000002/

Luke Brown. Class of 21 I believe.

A little note from the article:

Last summer, at a high school coaching clinic at Noblesville, Jerry Hoover was speaking about shooting and brought Luke for a demonstration: five spots on the floor behind the 3-point arc, 10 shots from each spot. With coaches around the state listening to Hoover and watching Brown in the background, the Blackford sophomore hit 47 of 50. Seriously.

Earlier this season in the Blackford gym, Brown and 6-3 Bruins senior guard Brandon Stroble (14.3 ppg) took turns shooting 3-pointers, 10 at a time, until they had attempted 100.

Luke Brown made 96.

Wow. He must have a long offer list...unless he is 5'5" or so.

He's short, but is supposedly 6'2" now. Mostly mid-majors. Not sure if he lacks athleticism.

From what I have seen of ACC basketball this season there are far more good athletes than there are really good shooters. Obviously a player must be able to get his shot off, but there is a lack of players who are clutch from 3. Last night I believe Duke hit 1 or 2 of about 25.

Good point. I'd like to get a pure shooter in at some point. This kid is also a really slick ball handler. He led Indiana in scoring and assists. I'm drawing a blank on the name, but he's got handles and passing like the kid that went to State and transferred to Butler that was from the Winston area.

He ended up being just a so-so college player, but was still a lot better than what we had at Wake in many cases.

Girard on Syracuse will be the best shooter in the ACC over the next few years.

Wake has had its share of athletes who couldn't shoot over the years.

L.D. and Ish come to mind.

Tyler Lewis was at State, correct? Then transferred?

The Chase kid we had from WVa went on to BYU and did pretty well, IIRC...

Been a long time since we've had Randolph, Rutland, Downey, Gray, Teague-type scorers....
 
It’s been 10 years since so many things but you’d think we would at least have had a reliable guard scorer in that stretch. Not even necessarily an all-ACC type. Just a guy who can get his shot off multiple ways with decent percentages (42/37/78 or so).

If he signs, find tapes of Duke's offense when they had JJ Reddick. Multiple screens until JJ got a clean look.
