Glad you put Wade towards the top as far as potential. The excitement for this
guy (if healthy obviously) should be through the roof. After hearing the story of his knee injury I have a newfound hope for him to be a major contributor

My evaluation of our roster--based on what I
think
I know (VERY limited):

Up to this point Knell is one of the worst shooters on the team (33%/27% FG/3-pt). Certainly far from 2nd best.
SingleStrapBackpack
5/27/20 11:38pm
No doubt. I gave him a pass as an RM — & leaned on his HS stuff
SinkingQuffa
5/27/20 11:43pm
Yeah, I'm pulling for him, too. We have some really great players so I think he's gonna have to improve a lot to see

Harward may lead the team in scoring. Barcello/Harding both shot over 40% from 3

I'll be honest. Our scoring situation doesn't have me too excited.
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 12:00am
Baxter, Haarms, Lee, etc. could make inside scoring interesting, and that's
TailgateU
5/28/20 8:28am
I don't see any of those guys being able to generate a shot in the paint
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 11:00am
I agree
puntersarepeople
5/28/20 11:05am
And I really hope Pope can find a way to get our guys to buy in.
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 11:13am
I do like having a go to person that can get the team points
Dr T-bone
5/28/20 9:21am
I don't know if I'd say any of those guys are "high end" athletes. Not for D1
Blueto
5/27/20 11:39pm
Baxter and George are IMO
puntersarepeople
5/28/20 9:08am
Is that opinion only based on the fact that they are on BYUs team?
Pretorian
5/28/20 9:20am
The opinion is based on high end athletes.
Blueto
5/28/20 9:23am
Rrrrright.... so how are you saying Baxter & George are not high end....
Pretorian
5/28/20 9:25am
Haven't seen George but Baxter I wouldn't say is a high end athlete. Very good
Blueto
5/28/20 9:36am
I think you underrate his lateral quickness and vertical
puntersarepeople
5/28/20 9:39am
Probably. But I have seen him play. It hasn't manifested on the court yet.
Blueto
5/28/20 9:45am
I think it definitely has
puntersarepeople
5/28/20 10:12am
I was talking in terms of measurables (& therefore potential). He's got
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 10:04am
So long as D1 isn't confined to Blue Bloods, sure they are.
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 9:28am
Erickson is an inch or two taller than Barcello IIRC
SingleStrapBackpack
5/28/20 9:45am
I don't believe Barcello is his listed 6'2. If he's over 6'1 barefoot
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 10:11am
Yeah, no way is AB 6'3". Erickson looks noticeably bigger to me.
SingleStrapBackpack
5/28/20 10:33am
I think that's pretty accurate
ayfan
5/27/20 11:41pm
Thanx, man. Baxter could be a very effective scorer in a pic-n-roll
SinkingQuffa
5/27/20 11:48pm
I think you’re way underestimating Harward
inertiaman
5/28/20 4:12am
I underestimated the entire team last year.
TailgateU
5/28/20 8:29am
I hope so. He's got great leverage & some decent paint skills on O
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 1:09pm
There are just so many new names, one thing that gave our last team extra juice
Pretorian
5/28/20 5:02am
As far as shooting is concerned, I would actually put your bottom 2 as my top 2
kC Cougar
5/28/20 6:13am
I was considering their dynamics as shooters, as well. Alex has

Glad you put Wade towards the top as far as potential. The excitement for this
jarvisjack32

I'd say the opposite. He barely played in his one year at Gonzaga, and has had many injuries since.
Turnpike Lane
5/28/20 9:48am
I tend to strongly lean this way regarding this season. His HS tape reveals
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 10:25am
I’d put Lowell on the best shooter list
puntersarepeople
5/28/20 9:10am
I hope so too. His highlights last year suggest he might be that good.
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 10:14am
Yeah I think we are okay. About as good as we ever have been defensively
archie
5/28/20 9:29am
I think we'll be fine scoring points. Will probably be more inside-focused this year but we have plenty of shooters.
SingleStrapBackpack
5/28/20 9:47am
I Would Beg to Differ...
CougarMagic
5/28/20 11:51am
Thanx, man. We agree more than we disagree, & based on my own limited knowledge
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 12:06pm
Haarms is gonna struggle playing perimeter D more than Lowell
puntersarepeople
5/28/20 12:44pm
Not according to his Purdue footage. He looks great on the perimeter.
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 12:56pm
His lateral speed is okay
puntersarepeople
5/28/20 1:09pm
I agree at least somewhat. I hope his straight-line speed isn't too poor
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 1:12pm
you left Lowell off your list of 5 best shooters
icecougar
5/28/20 1:51pm
That's reasonable, ice. I was trying to be kind to Knell & Wade's potential
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 2:00pm
I agree with you and think Lowell will be one of our "go-to" guys in scoring...
icecougar
5/28/20 5:23pm
I mostly agree. I think you might underestimate Johnson’s athleticism, though.
Zastava
5/28/20 3:28pm
Thanx. That'd be music to my eyes. I've really seen very little film on him.
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 3:33pm
He’s not quite as big
puntersarepeople
5/28/20 4:45pm
Harding is definitely bigger and stronger than Johnson.
Zastava
5/28/20 5:08pm
Also...regarding your ranking of athletes...
icecougar
5/28/20 3:41pm
Good analysis. There's a lot that goes into making a good "athlete," ultimately.
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 3:56pm
if Gavin can improve his strength I could see him being in that high end...
icecougar
5/28/20 5:45pm
Baxter is very fast. He's usually in the top 2 in the team in sprints.
ayfan
5/28/20 3:56pm
Not surprised considering his mom. His 6-foot sis was also a collegiate sprinter
SinkingQuffa
5/28/20 3:59pm
Yeah Baxter moves very well
puntersarepeople
5/28/20 4:48pm
Amazingly good. He needed a coach to dribble-drill him crazy as a kid
