Moose is horrible, OMG.

Maybe he's just out of shape and lazy and gets horrible when he's tired. Either way, there is nothing impressive at all about that video.

He's a euro big. He will take time to develop (if he doesn't get frank'd first), but he has a skill set.

His skill set appears to be just standing in the center of the paint on defense with his hands on his hips and jumping with a 2 inch vertical so he can rack up blocks on 6' guys. He's also pretty good at turning around to get a rebound after the ball has already bounced over his head and giving up wide open shots because he is way too fat and lazy to ever leave the paint. If this guy is ready to play basketball before he is a junior, we should just go ahead and triple Greenawalt's salary.

Meh. By this point in time recruits know what they are getting into with Frank. And players are generally allowed to play like their coaches allow them to play at all levels of basketball.

Do you think it really looks like he is capable of playing how Frank would like him to play? I would love to be wrong here.

With his body type, yes. I don't necessarily think how a kid plays in high school or AAU translates to how they will/can play in college. I think you are putting too much stock into some youtube game clips.

That was a high school all star game.

X2. He's lost on the court. Smaller players race past him, shoot over him, etc. Hopefully he ends up at a JuCo or finishing school...or back in Europe

And you CAN take good things away from this. Beasley was in this exact same game and had 50 points or something from bombing threes. The only real impressive thing was that he could bomb threes. I wouldn't worry about Latar Chakuels not playing hard when he gets here.

that's reassuring. I was worried that lamyus chavatikus wasn't a hustle/jyc type.

He seems somewhat aware there's a basketball game going on around him. Kind of like a bumper in a pinball game with silver balls racing all around him, occasionally bouncing off.

I mean he played for Central Michigan before hand. Does he really count as a "juco" prospect?

jtksu · « **Reply #2871 on:** February 18, 2012, 11:46:31 AM »

Lots of dudes transfer to a juco from a 4 yr school.

yeah, me too. i didn't like him when kstate was recruiting him. and i still don't think he was ready to contribute this year. but he's skilled, he can play. with reasonable off-season improvement, i wouldn't be surprised to see him eat a lot of irving and spradling's minutes next year.
