Since I only saw him in about 5 plays, tough to make anything out on that video. Agreed. I was there last night so I saw the game, but agree highlights don’t show a lot. He does stand around lot in the video and watches on defense/rebounding. It’s always better to watch whole game poor coaching. Hi...

Slim, you may THINK you know more, but you don’t. That’s neither here nor there, just stop shittin on the KID. Keyword... KID! You don’t have to be high on him or even think he has potential, but you’ve gone beyond overboard....let’s be adults about this now. If we resurgent the Balanc thread and s...

Slim

Let me clarify so you can stop using my name to bolster your argument ramster. Before I begin, I respect you and your opinion. We can have a civil debate here. I saw Wood 7-10 times between his freshman and junior season. He never stood out to me. However, I am not a scout or talent evaluator. I ca...

The most polarizing 4* recruit in the modern Keaney Blue era, by far. And it just continues. I honestly see credence on both sides, the fans who want to hope for the best and let's be honest signing an early 4* is good for the program from PR and perception perspective, regardless if he lives up to...

How do you think Dan Hurley and the team and recruits felt about Jim Baron 2.0 thread when only 2 of us were saying to let the season play out? Remember it was not just Slim, it was DC_Rams as well. He changed to trust Cox but still has his doubts. From what you say nothing negative should ever be ...

Slim

Relax The guy is being celebrated from his performance against a team with 4 players 6’ tall and below I’d like to see him play AAU ball this summer but he is not playing. Not sure what justifying responses means. DeMatha’s Summer League is as good or better than AAU ball. Just looking at the roste...

Then why didn’t you post or chime in when Wood scores 36 last week. You were pretty quiet then No agenda you say, not trolling you say I was at the games tonight as well.

How is Matt Balanc doing in practice for the powerhouse Quinnipiac?

He’s doing great. Thanks for asking he’s healthy and ready to go.

Five players for Landon. Wow. Interesting that no one on other team scored more than 19 points when they scored 100 points. Good to see you have moved on Slim.

Wow, Earl Timberlake is one of the best players in the DMV. That makes NO sense. Ace is a good ball player, but I personally believe he is very overrated where he is currently ranked.

Noel has improved ton over the last year. He continues to get better. Going against 2019 big Qudus Wahab who's going to Georgetown has helped Brown. They played together last year and competed in practice against one another. He has great size.

I don’t know the details on Wood. I don’t like the jumping around. I think stating 4 HS is a little misleading when he didn’t play at some of them. It is my understanding that he played for BCC High School the last two high school seasons and will play his Sr year there as well. So three high schoo...

Slim, it sounds like you are on the defensive and taking things personal, not other posters. You sound like a broken record every post with ur 4 HS and 6 AAU, to DC’s point we get it.

I respect the concern. Even from Slim. However, Slim had Matt Balanc as a major contributor on a good D1 team. We are waiting to see Matt’s results at Quinnipiac. He was also very high on Yazzy Gultekin who signed with VTech and has followed Buzz to Texas A&M - let’s see how he does. I will tak...

Slim

I wasn’t a Mading fan and saw him play a good deal. No way Wood is comparable to Mading. Mading was 6’11” playing against weak non circuit AAU teams. The next tallest player in the court was 6’5” and he did next to nothing (stat lines with 2 points). I agree rankings can be off but Mading was rated...

Slim

He has only played one weekend of AAU in the Spring avg 13 mins/game. I trust Cox as an evaluator/recruiter. This was his recruit. Elijah has the skills. Rhody needs him to be productive 2 1/2 years from now (start of 21-22 season). Plenty of time for him to develop and mature. Excuses you can live...

What coaches love him? He was real bad this HS season, and check his stats this year on UAA with District WAWG during April pd in KC. He’s nothing like Jeff D.

My story isn’t changing. Not impressed with the kid. I don’t get paid the big bucks though. Chances are high we will end up with this kid this weekend. However, because the times I’ve seen him on the circuit, I wasn’t impressed, but that doesn’t mean that automatically disqualify him as a 4* recrui...

Slim

Over. Rated. Period. Wait and see. Correct. Truly overhyped. Struggling against D3 type talent. Avg maybe 7pts, and living off of early hype because he was 6”6 freshman. Imo not D1 player unless he improves. Played the other night & went scoreless against weak competition and D3 kid gave him 30...

Broke his leg last year and missed all spring and summer, so he took redshirt year. Yes he will be very good player.

I have seen him play. Approximately 5 games this July. He didn’t do much for several games in lower level AAU events. I wish the kid the best.

He still needs to develop. Let’s see where he commits and signs.

Have you seen him play ? If so this summer? Also, doesn’t every kid need development? Just asking

Slim

This shocks me. Yeezy has cut his list to final four. It’s not that Rhody isn’t included because they backed off. It is that he has four higher major schools. Nebraska, TCU, Georgetown & Northwestern. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmqr5IJBJxh/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=31dmp72tygge Tho...
