re: LSU Basketball Recruiting Thread - OLD THREAD PLEASE STICKY NEW ONE

I haven't seen any kind of midrange game from him on video, but he seems to have a nice touch for a 7 footer from 3, and he can certainly dunk with authority.

A shot blocking 7 footer that can rebound, dunk, and shoot 3's????

Yes please.

Modern analytics show that the mid range game is the least efficient shot at both college and pro levels. (There are rare player exceptions). The current game focuses on shots within 6 feet of the basket, the three point line, and the free throw line.

I'm not worried about his mid range shots. I'm more focused on his free throw shooting. The majority of his scoring in his freshman college year will be close to the hoop and at the free throw line.

It's a big, but manageable loss for them. They have a transfer from Cleveland State who will likely start at PG for them, but they lose Kerry Blackshear Jr. They have a lot of talent from their last two classes that will need to take their next step if they want to survive in the SEC.

I don't think Nembhard would get a waiver, but he would be a nice bridge to give Wade another year for Cook and Gaines once Smart eventually leaves, which is hopefully not before this season because we need him

Will said he dominated in practice against Emmitt, Days, Watford and Manning

He also said Hyatt was a sharp shooter from 3. And then he hit the side of the backboard a few times this year.

Let’s let it play out.

Look, the numbers don't lie with Hyatt's 3 point shooting last year, but he looks like he has a sweet stroke to me. I think he just needs confidence, and if he is able to hold onto his scholarship, he could very well turn into a sharp shooter for us. Remember, Tim Quarterman was hot garbage his freshman year, then turned into a really good player for LSU.

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell people

Yeah, I don't disagree with you here. I thought about the eligibility thing when I posted. But it just seems odd that a player of his caliber and potential would w/draw from the draft only to transfer from a quality program where he had been starting the past 2 season to another program to have to sit a year before playing again, which would push his ability to go pro an inevitable 2 years more.

Curious what is going on here and if there is something that Nembhard knows or has been told regarding the ability to transfer and get a waiver allowing him to play immediately. If not, then something had to be really wrong at UF for him to delay his career a year and chance to turn pro another 2 years.

Some UF fans say Nembhard just wasnt what Mike White wanted from his PG which I guess I don't get because white made him a starter right away as a freshman 2 years ago and nobody played more minutes than Nembhard on the roster this past season either. So not sure I buy White didnt think he fit in with the offense by playing him the most of anyone on the roster...

Even with 5 star Tre Mann coming in and Glover at PG Nembhard led the team in minutes last season.

I think Nembhard wanted to go pro early and just wasnt happy with his draft position the past few years so hes getting a new system to play in, to get a different look. White hasnt been the best from a development standpoint at UF.

Really not sure what's going on there, strange situation all around, clearly Nembhard is frustrated with something but UF fans seem to think they're better off without him and Appleby/Mann will be better.

He's really quiet with his recruitment and things are going to be very weird with the 2021 class due to no summer ball, but I'd imagine we're very much in it.

Anyone else constantly hitting F5 on Twitter today?

8/11 CB's for Cisse are for the good guys and all CB's since he announced he was reclassifying are for the good guys.
