He is my pick for the guy that blows up this year after transferring.Guy looks like a player to me.

You make it sound like it’s their job and they have more invested in it than we do.I trust our staffs’ evaluation of these guys than anyone who gets to see YouTube videos. The coaches are lifers. They have been sizing up who can play and who can’t since they started playing pickup ball. They’ve done/are doing their due diligence. They will take the best guy who will have us.
Kentucky thinks so, too. Freeman is a stud. At one point there was talk of him testing the NBA.Guy looks like a player to me.
On the one hand, he’ll also have teammates far more equipped to help take some of the defensive attention away from him. They were obviously overmatched against those schools.
On the other hand, it’s disappointing that someone we’re entrusting to be our main decision maker/maybe main scorer couldn’t even lead his team to victory against the likes of the MAAC. It’s obviously a team game and he wouldn’t be the first good player to play for a losing team but you would kinda think if your primary ball handler/scorer is ACC starter caliber, you’d have more success than they did against frankly terrible D1 teams.
we've been missing on point guards since what ? ENNIS ? and you trust our coaches evaluations ?I trust our staffs’ evaluation of these guys
He is the worst passer I have ever seen here. I do not understand this JJ plays PG at all.I don’t see any PG or even combo in JJ’s game. He is a scoring guard, always has been, nothing wrong with that. Is what it is though.
Westry was working out pre practice at one I attended in January. He looked very good then. He wasn’t practicing with team - just solo working out but he looked like he was nearly at full health then. Obviously big difference between contact and solo drills but he seemed near full speed then. seemed like they were extra cautious with him and just preserved the year of eligibility vs wasting him for a few games at the end. I think he’s a difference maker. He’s a big physical guard who can do a lot.maybe westry has been fully healthy in practice and outperforming the other players who were given the talk?
hmm interesting...personally yeah cant see it as "wasting" a yearWestry was working out pre practice at one I attended in January. He looked very good then.

I keep hearing this but have seen zero evidence of this except by the recruiting experts here. The same crew that said Marek would run the point at times.Believe it or not, Westry was projected as a PG coming out of HS and JJ was listed as SG. Realistically they’re both probably combo guards.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Westry get some run at PG. He did have issues with turnovers, so he’ll only get run there if he can control the ball and limit his turnovers.
The main culprit for that is gonewe've been missing on point guards since what ? ENNIS ? and you trust our coaches evaluations ?
Who has missed 2 years, you can't count on someone like that.Westry was working out pre practice at one I attended in January. He looked very good then.

Can he? Sure. Should he? No.
I think we all need to start coming to grips with the fact our PG position won’t be great and won’t fix the inherent issues with the lineup Red’s building.
If he can't find a freaking PG, I will be very disappointed. I mean, come on. He was a star point guard. How can he not get a decent guy?
Some might say they have Leffew too many concerns.I think everyone is a bit too panicky over the possibility of getting Leffew.
You’re not 100% wrong, but this is largely the same staff that thought Peter Carey, Justin Taylor and Hima could compete in the ACC. They have been better on guards but I wouldn’t say their talent eval infallible.I trust our staffs’ evaluation of these guys than anyone who gets to see YouTube videos. The coaches are lifers. They have been sizing up who can play and who can’t since they started playing pickup ball. They’ve done/are doing their due diligence. They will take the best guy who will have us.
I don’t think the concerns are misplaced, he’s not really a PG… at least, not with those awful turnover stats and bare bones assist numbers.I think everyone is a bit too panicky over the possibility of getting Leffew.
Yes. Seton Hall is poverty.So, on the Kadary will enter the portal rumors - does anyone know why? Is he looking for the biggest NIL payday?

Hmmmm
Also saw he averaged 3 TO's a game, don't think that's too good based on his assist average.
You guys are awfully pickyAlso saw he averaged 3 TO's a game, don't think that's too good based on his assist average.
