Thanks for the kind words guys. To be honest, it's not too hard since, I think I mentioned this earlier, I'm always looking at this stuff anyway. I figured there has to be at least some people here who would be interested in having it passed along like this so I do it. On the flip side, I don't at all pay any attention to football recruiting or the spring game/practices, but I am interested in knowing about some things because once football season starts up, I'm all in on that team until basketball starts up.

So, I like to read that area of content a lot, just so I go into the season knowing who the receivers are or the running backs, since those positions are kinda fluid from year to year.

As for making the guys sound better than they are, well....I like to just give the stats and keep my opinions out of it. I did think about Johnson and some way to spin him positively. It was just hard to get past that free throw percentage.

But, if I were to think about him on next year's Huskies, I see him as a bigger version of Daow who doesn't shoot as well from the outside but rebounds better. And I think Daow is a fantastic rebounder. Most of rebounding is anticipation and work and Daow has that in spades. He's got a knack for rebounds. He's just not that big of a guy.

So, I don't see Johnson as a starter, but I could see him as a role player who eats minutes and provides a spark on the boards. I'm guessing he's a decent defender as most guys with that profile are, but I really have no idea. I mean, the guy was pulling down 6.5 offensive rebounds a game (I'm betting that most of his 9.5 ppg came on putbacks). That's a lot. Even in JUCO. He led his team in both Offensive rebounds and total rebounds. The guy knows his strength (presumably) and guys like that are valuable in a deep rotation. If you limit your opponent's scoring chances and eliminate second chance points, you have an advantage.

Nevertheless, the Huskies need scoring and without German, they're going to struggle. Finding a Dante Thorpe in JUCO isn't easy and NIU/Montgomery kind of hit the lottery with him. They have some potential scorers on the team but nothing established that we can count on. If German stays gone (I don't expect him back) the team is really going to look different next year in how they play.

Anyway, this comment/post is becoming more than I intended it to be. Thanks again for the kind words!
