Keith Hornsby's impact

I saw this excerpt and got really excited. On another note, it's sad that I'm getting excited about a guy shooting free throws. It would just be nice to watch LSU consistently make them again.

His propensity to attack the basket saw him get to the free-throw line, where he shot 92.5 percent, good enough for second among all division one players. LSU as a team shot 66.9 percent last season and has since lost the only two players that surpassed 70-percent from the charity stripe (Andre Stringer and Shavon Coleman).

He's good. Always has been. Always will.
That's just the way it is. Some things will never change.

He's the person I am most excited about next year. I certainly have caught Hornsby fever. It's not just his FT shooting though. He has an excellent shot from outside and unlike Stringer who had a good shot outside, he is 6'4" and can elevate over defenders.

100% agree here. I also like the leadership role he has taken on. Also he's not a diminutive guard. No disrespect to Hickey and Stringer, but they were way undersized at 6' (if that).
How many years to we have Hornsby?

2 to play 2 I believe.

Still has 2 years I believe. (He had 3 years to play 2 and he redshirted last season)
Word out of camp is he is the team leader. Ask every player on the team and they will all say Keith is the guy who has taken the leadership role even though he has played 0 minutes.

Maybe he got caught up in the hyperbole, but I thought this quote from Jones was telling.
quote:
“There’s the old cliché that hard work pays off and I think in Keith’s case, there are great things in store for him,” said Jones. “He is one of the hardest workers that I have ever seen in the 30 years that I’ve been in Division I basketball.”

he's better than Stringer the moment he steps on the court. huge upgrade

Don't worry Broski, your not the only one thinking this

I'm also excited about his free-throw shooting, but that's just part of what I'm excited about. He can penetrate and kick (or get to the line - back to that 93% clip) and is a great all-around shooter with great range, plus great athleticism. He and Gray are going to be a really nice duo at guard for us. Though I wish we had a little more experienced depth at guard.
A lot of our success next year will hinge on how ready Big Elbert is to play the 5, IMHO. He appears to have shed a TON of weight.

With the additions of Hornsby, Gray, and Robinson, we should be a much more complete team this year. We'll be much harder to defend and assuming Robinson stays in shape we'll be very athletic.
We'll need Martin to pick up the outside shooting slack left by Coleman but Hornsby and Gray should also help there.

Ya think the starting lineup looks like this...
Gray
Hornsby
Mickey
Martin
Elbert
Or does Quarterman somehow start?

This team will be a lot tougher to defend for teams since two of our guards aren't so small. We have length across the board now and athleticism. This will be a seriously fun team to watch.
In the words of bart scott....CAN'T WAIT!

I'm hearing all the accolades to, from outsiders and insiders alike. But I heard alot of similar things about Quarterman too.
I certainly think he'll exceed Q's production from last year, but let's not build it up too much, let's give him some room to experience growth at a normal pace.
