Having shoulders & elbows higher off the floor does give you rebounding advantages prob even greater than larger hands.

SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

Wingspans & hand size are still big deals, though. Fouss definitely plays tall for his height — & strength, wingspan & hand-size are surely to blame more than his so-called leaping ability.

Did Egor play mostly outside or did he attack the rim?

Big Daddy D

Jun 29, 12:34pm

He shot the 3 if he was open but otherwise pretty much attacked the basket.

Byufloridaguy

How did 3gor’s 3 look?

VinnyBYU

Jun 29, 1:52pm

Didn’t force anything but knocked down most of the open looks. I was surprised

I live a few miles from the Annex... is it a thing that I can stop by and watch

Was Egor quick enough to beat people off the dribble? Same with Catchings?

Mostlyaccurate

Jun 29, 12:12pm

Both looked quick. Catchings seemed like he could get his shot off

Can we get volunteers to rotate and watch on a daily basis

What time was that? Curious if it's a set time on specific days?

This was just free play today. No coaches

How did Hall compare to them?

byuchocolatemilk

Jun 29, 1:53pm

Hall shot pretty well but didn’t drive to the basket much.

Name of recruit who was playing?

VinnyBYU

Jun 29, 1:53pm

Not sure. One of the guys said he was a high school kid. Had short hair that

Was it dean rueckert from timpview? Sounds like it would match his discription

Trevhisk

My bet is Dean Rueckert - see pics in link

VinnyBYU

I don’t think so. This kid had real short hair.

Keita undersized vs Davies

Jun 29, 1:56pm

That's more about the way Keita is built. More of a 6'8 big. We don't have

He has a 7’4” wingspan

That’s according to aUte fan post on Ute Hub. Haven’t seen that supported any…

Missi and Dickinson were the only 2 who gave us those kinds of issues last year

puntersarepeople

Jun 29, 8:09pm

We agree. Fine in most games. More concern if BYU faced an Edey & Clingan in B12

Purdue will be in our tournament this year with another 7 footer

Jun 29, 9:04pm

Yep. I'm thinking about heading to San Diego for that tourney.

Forzaitalia

Jun 29, 9:57pm

"outa the gym" per Fowler. Just not see'n that. Fouss is quick, but a leaper or an above-average athlete he is not.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 29, 9:39pm

How do you define above avg athlete?

icecougar

Jun 30, 5:03pm

Yeah, I'm talk'n D1 standard. Fouss is obviously an athletic beast compared to the average man his size (very few men

Wingspans aren't that relevant in the post when you're getting backed down and all leveraged up trying to

Wouldn’t being short make it easier to have leverage

We might get destroyed down low.

karatekid

Jun 29, 2:19pm

"destroyed". We weren't destroyed last season with less length and hops. Why the cynicism?

CLCougar

Jun 29, 2:35pm

Davies is a 10 year pro and would be the best player in the NCAA at this point

puntersarepeople

Jun 29, 2:42pm

This is true. I wish Davies didn’t get in trouble ugh what if

karatekid

Jun 29, 2:49pm

Still waiting for a cogent explanation why you used the word of maybe getting destroyed this season when we weren't last

CLCougar

Jun 29, 9:10pm

Probably the best resource our players have to play against

LeonMarek

Jun 29, 2:49pm

Davies is 6’10” at most so if keita is undersized against him? Not good

if that's all we've got to worry about, will be fine.
