Not overly athletic but very well coached fundamentally. Has good game around basket, keeps the ball high, not putting it on the floor unnecessarily.

Should work on his left hand game around basket. At the very least lay it in lefty/shield with right. There's a couple plays around the 1 min and again at 3:11 mark in highlight where he would have benefitted, maybe added and one. Seems to play hard on D which is great. Looked to have really exceptional mid range as well.

I'd say his fundamentals/size equal great opportunities to play early, get better and eventually be an exceptional player.

Really nice pick up by Miles and Co. there. Exciting, exciting start to the '14 class.

Ill ad to what Sandhills has said a bit

Like he said, he keeps the ball high, but like....really high. On those O boards he wouldn't bring the ball down at all, instead immediately going up for a shot. That's great, most young big men bring that ball down low and that leads to getting stripped a lot by the guards

Seems to use speed more than power, when he gets the ball in the post he usually spins immediately for a jumper or layup instead of trying to powerfully back his man down....this isn't a bad thing because he has a great stroke on his shot.

Fades away on his shots a little more than necessary, and seems to somewhat shy away from contact in general, though it looked like he can go up with power when necessary.

On the topic of being powerful when necessary he seemed pretty damn good at finishing through contact and finishing in crowds

Overall a very fundamentally sound big man, which is rare in high school centers as usually there coach says "just go out there and block shots" so you see them flailing wildly.

Another guy that a lot of people don't know about is Terran Petteway.

I know man. I cant believe it. Shit could get wild really quick.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

If Gilmore ends up committing......oohhhh boy

We just got our first rivals 150 player in the history of Nebrasketball a day ago and now we're looking at an even more highly touted player coming here.


There is something potentially special brewing in Lincoln.

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

We are becoming a basketball skool

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

It is funny that there are NBA teams jealous of what we have in terms of arena and facilities......

And here we haven't done a cot damn thing in the history of the sport

It's exciting as long as we don't look forward to bball because we suck at football.

What Smiles is doing is exciting. What Bo is doing? Well let's say it takes a little more patience there.

Expectations for the two are sooo much different. If Miles can make an NCAA tournament as a 16 seed, Nebraskan's would be happy. If Bo takes Nebraska to the Pin Stripe Bowl they'll be calling for his head.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I see what you're saying HISL...

I've been a life long diehard Husker Basketball fan so I guess I didn't see it like that at first, but honestly it could turn into that. There are a lot of fair-weather Husker fans..........most of them also happen to be Creighton Basketball fans......don't know if that is a coincidence or not.

Those folks will start supporting the Basketball team now, just watch.

 

[Red_Alert]

Oh, and lel 2 talking Nebrasketball in mid-August.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

A couple of years ago I think I was starting Basketball threads on here and responding to myself.

Now we're discussing it as a family 2 weeks before kickoff.
