RE: Men's Basketball Recruiting: 2018
So, Nukesquad. Have you heard anymore about the 6'10" kid on campus for a visit?
Is he the kid that was reported to be coming to our UAB game and was looking at them too? Or a different player ?

Go start another thread topic that people want to discuss. The boards have been pretty dead the last couple days... at least there is some discussion.

Maybe you could start a thread called "Complaining About Other People's Posts While Not Adding Anything of Value To the Conversation"

I get it. Just like your multiple posts on walks ons in the football recruiting thread when you didn’t even know the rules? And you kept bitching and bitching and posting and posting about something you were absolutely clueless about. Is that what you mean about not adding anything of value?

WOW. I would've looked into it a little more before posting this. Not a great look.

Thought I did. I'll own it. My bad. My apologies MBlue.

Trey is crucial in our system where we sometimes rely on an inside out type offense. In addition, many times defensively you need the proto-typical Center to enforce the lane and be a rim protector.

Been unable to post since the weekend as I had to make a quick trip to South Dakota. Back home now and have caught up today with the comments on this topic.

Having read over them I would add this ...

Sure any team can find a way to be successful by playing any of several types of systems - i.e. slow paced work the clock defensive style, fast break full court pressure style, bomb away with sharp shooters from the 3 point line style, defend rebound and pound the ball inside using inside strength style, etc.

Which of those best describes the style that we have seen from coach Jones at ODU? From what I have seen it is nearest to being a combination of the first and last styles that I have listed. That said, unless he decides to suddenly change his approach to playing basketball we have to assume that from year to year he will basically be following the same concepts that he has demonstrated in recent years. If that holds true then his best chance to be successful is to have -

1). A big center that can defend, rebound, and score in the low post (a Trey Porter or Frank Hassell type). If they do that and can also shoot from outside then that would be even better (a Gerald Lee).

2). A power forward that can defend, rebound, and score against the opposing power forward and also help defend off his man against the opposing big man (a Brandan Stith type). If they can also shoot from outside then that would be even better (an Alex Laughton type - note*** Alex would also fit the bill for the big center).

3). A small forward that can defend, rebound, make foul shots, and score against the opposing small forward and also help defend off his man inside (a Petey Sessoms type). This player should be able to knock down the 3 point shot with 30%+ accuracy (preferably closer to 40% than 30%).

4). A shooting guard that can defend, handle the ball with the dribble, make foul shots, and knock down the 3 point shot with 30%+ accuracy (preferably closer to 40% than 30%) - (a Kent Bazemore or Mike Jones type).

5). A point guard that can defend, handle the ball with the dribble, set up his teammates, make foul shots and knock down the 3 point shot with 30%+ accuracy (preferably closer to 40% than 30%) - (a Dave Twardzik or Trey Freeman type).

Additionally the team that would best make Jeff successful would have adequate backups on the bench - guys like David Harvey, Chris Cooper, Valdas Vasylius, Trian Iliadis, and Brandon Johnson).

Obviously I am not expecting that coach Jones can gather such an assortment all on the same team. If he could then we would all be singing his praises. My point is that until we see evidence that Jones has changed his style of play more than just a small tweak or two then he needs a big man to anchor his defense and to provide a post presence on the offensive end. Whether the guy is 6'5" Giles, or 7'-3" Giles, he still has to provide the needed qualities to fit Jones's style of play, and under those circumstances the bigger guy will pretty much always have an easier time of successfully accomplishing that.

Absolutely....you do understand that Giles opinions are somewhat questionable????

So did we get out recruited by Jax State or is this a sign we passed on a center because he wasn’t that great ?

Don't know the answer, but I'm hoping and thinking that it is the later.

Not sure. Doesn't show that we offered.

Posted from mobile device. Hopefully it's coherent.

This article states: “I would love to play abroad,” he said, adding he holds offers from Old Dominion and Hofstra with interest from Cal Poly, Princeton, UMass, UAB, UC Santa Barbara and San Diego.

https://scout.com/college/basketball/rec...-105823739

Seems strange to me. Every school on that list would appear to be a better choice than Jacksonville State for basketball.

True, but Jacksonville State may have been able to offer and immediate starting spot. I am sure our coaching staff was honest with him.

It is also a fluid process. Sometimes offers come and go. (obviously moreso for the lower ranked kids than the higher ranked kids) Add in some schools may have wanted him to redshirt and develop, etc.

I have no inside information that it happened on this one, but I've also know of times where schools offer, the kid comes and visits, and the school is the one that doesn't like the visit and pulls offer.

And maybe he just liked what he saw there better than what he saw here. They've got 18 wins thus far, so it's not like they don't have success. I'm sure our staff is still working on several bigs.
