Kid committed to Tulsa last Friday and had planned on starting classes today (Mid-term transfer) Some issues surfaced and he couldn't get them resolved.

Great find Cooley! Can he shoot?

Ani, Ani Ani fi who?

NT03 · January 15, 2013

Went to Huntington Prep.

Heard that he was given a pre-visit suspension.

But seriously, I hope he is a basketball player, not just an athlete.

EDIT: I guess we know that either Norris or Casimino is definitely out. And that is a good thing.

Looks like a pretty nice stroke...I think he would be a good addition. Cooley, NT03, Tasty et al thoughts?

Could he walk on and play immediately ?

UNT90 · January 15, 2013

Just from that video, he needs to work on his left hand going to the basket. Nice looking stroke, though.

He dribbled with his left hand, moved to his left just three times in this video to set up his jumper, and you take that he needs to work on his left hand going to the basket? Not sure I follow.

Watch when he drives to the basket. Uses the right hand every time when on the left side if the basket. You can get away with that in high school, but not in college. I don't know how old the video is, so he may have improved that in JC.

But, in the video, he definitely is uncomfortable using the left around the rim.

Guess I don't see that in a one minute video where he drives to the basket once, uses his body to shield the defender and shoots with his right hand.

He has a nice shot, which is something we need.

It's actually twice, with him choosing to go the the right side for a dunk the third time.

The one you talk about is not him using his body to protect the shot. There is more body to protect the shot if you shoot with the left hand in that situation.

The other one you missed was when he gets a rebound and then uses the right hand awkwardly on the left side of the basket.

As far as going to his left, the only thing I saw him do is take one to three dribbles left to set up his shot. Not exactly showing off a left handed dribble there.

Again, I don't know how old this video is, so we may be talking about non-issues. And he does look to have an outside stroke, which is what we need more than anything right now.
