Nice to see, although I'm starting to get worried that expectations are getting out of whack. I expect him to rebound and block some shots. College is often a big adjustment for big men and I expect there will be some bad games as he adjusts to the speed and athleticism of the opposition.

He is very athletic and graceful, but he's also very thin.
I wonder how he'll hold up to the banging underneath the boards, as
the season wears on?
He also has a raw offensive game, which will come along in time.
Bigs develop slower than guards.

Wow, not too many mid-major kids in that top 30, and we get one, and the A-10 has two ....there are maybe two others, Gonzaga and San Diego State (are they BCS football?)
And the big east only has one.

I agree with Iggy that Hare will be up and down this year. His build and raw offensive game will lead him to struggle at times, but his athleticism and skill set will always show great promise for the future.

This brings up a question, who on the staff is going to teach him to play like a big-man. The Hurley boys were guards, along with Preston. Does Carr have big-man teaching experience??

Maybe we can bring Larry Farmer in for a seminar on post play.
That guy brought out the best in some players.

Re: CBS Sports: Top 30 Freshman Most Likely to Make an Impac
I want to see Hare play defense, rebound and crash the offensive boards. His points will come from putbacks and alleyoops. I can't wait to see him as he adds some muscle to his frame. He is very athletic for a 6"10" guy, can really get off the floor. Hopefully he will develop a couple of post moves and a 10 foot jumper. I think his value this year will be on defense, but he'll have to stay out of foul trouble too.

I was worried about foul trouble too. Should be very interesting!

I'm thinking, they turn nik's back to the basket as Rhody's main offensive post presence from the 3 spot and some from the 4 spot and other 4's and 5's (Hare, Aaman...) work off screens to get free, until their post play develops some. Otherwise, I'd be willing to bet Hare doesn't disappoint in the least, lets face it nobody who has been paying attention to date expects him to be canning fade away jumpers from the elbow just yet.

That Kid and Play look is Nerhlens Noel, not Hare.

Oops. I saw the pic and the threat topic. Noel looks like a surefire member of the Kentucky one and done club. It's kind of sad that a school can bring in a bunch of top recruits, win big and have them leave in a year.
Of course if URI could do that, I'd probably change my viewpoint.

Love him or hate him, Calipari is amazing.
He takes the best recruits, and gets them to buy into
the team concept.
This can't be easy, since the egos in these kids must be as big as all
outdoors.
Of course, he can also sell that almost all his first five goes in the first round of the NBA draft.

Re: CBS Sports: Top 30 Freshman Most Likely to Make an Impac
I like his attitude. That also confirms what most of us thought. Yes, he was a Preston recruit, but it was the coaching change that was the last deciding factor in his recruitment.ace wrote:Smart kid!
