MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[scottiedoug]

This recruit may not be an average guy, Killer!

Not a post player, though.  It's Jerms year to score some points and maybe some of the young'uns will step it up to give a credible inside game.

I have know about this player for awhile. Coach said he is more athletic than Sidney and has better physical body than Sid as a freshman. They say he is the real deal. Remember fellas no matter what it takes time to adapt to the college game. Learning Coach Lambert's system is not as some may think, especially on defense!

I did a little research on this kid and talked to my Georgia High School basketball source and from what I hear this kid is quite a player.  However, in my research i found that this kid's team finished 9 games under .500, which means they were not very good.  This kid should be a steal at the D3 level though.  How do the Scots go into GA and get this kid?

For my friend ScottieDoug, here is the link that shows some of Maryville's recruits.  Oglethorpe and Mississippi College have gotten recruits out of Georgia.

Killer:  I heard from someone who saw Watson's team play a couple of years ago that they play serious defense, so perhaps he comes at least understanding how important it is.

let's not get to excited about what is coming in b/c it will tough for the guys that are already in the program to find playing time at the perimeter

Q
Alex
Jared
Eric Anderson
Brady Neal

There are already 5 players for three spots and three sub spots and that does not include the Bobo factor if he gets back in good graces.  Next year will be a tough year to get time on the perimeter as a freshman, but there will be plenty of it in the post for a good player

I would hope that Oglethorpe would be able to get recruits out of Georgia.  They are located in Atlanta.  I still hear no talk over who the Panthers and the Lions have coming in next year.  Its like the board is just a Maryville board, we might as well just start a message board on the Scots website and just post on there.

JohnnyBrave:  If we did that, we would lose some of our best sources of corrections (aka, old_lion, wilburt, d3ball, Coach Haynes....).  Not to mention Ralph.

Matt:  If any of these newbies can shoot and hit from outside, esp. without BoBo, I'll bet they/he will play.  Watson and Brown have shot really well for percentage in HS.  Of the ones you mention, Alex and Brady seem like shooters but I do not know about Jared and Eric.  And Q will play no matter what for other reasons and if his shot gets better, a bonus.  Without Bobby and Bradley, shooting from the perimeter seems like a bigger deal than with them.

Wilburt:  Thanks for the link.

Wilburt:  Thanks for the link.

Scottiedoug you are welcome my friend.

Perimeter shooting is a lot more difficult without a dominant big man.  It is interesting, there are a couple more names that i will not mention at this point, but they might surface at a later date.  Unfortunately, most of the recruiting news is perimeter oriented.  We need some big guys and lots of them

Our best sources of corrections???

If I didn't know you were a nice guy, I'd take that as an insult. But since I do, I'm going to interpret it as a compliment ... not sure how I'm going to do that ... I guess it has something to do with our being virtual well springs of insight and relevent information ... yeah, that's the ticket ... 

From the Grubby One:

We need some big guys and lots of them

Don't we all, Matt? Don't we all ...

[coachwgh]

We don't all need a big man.  You could settle for 6'2" post players and wallow in mediocrity....well I guess we do all need big guys.  There should be a mass release posted to our website in about a week or so that will satisfy the recriuting vultures.  We have 9 committed currently and hopefully that will go to 11.  Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

I think replacing Golden and Blair is impossible much like trying to stop Jake Baldwin next year

[scottiedoug]

Old_lion:  As I suspected you would, you did correctly interpret.
