Class of 2014 Kaleb Joseph..,,

[Trueblue25]

After watching the recent vids of Kaleb in this thread, he reminded me most of one of our arch-rivals - Kemba Walker.

I'll take it.

Looking forward to the guard rotation next year with Cooney, The Creator, Buss, and KJoII.

And then, Malachi rolling in with the possibility of all aforementioned still around? Scary good.

Yes, sir! I am a Buss believer - that wingspan, once he figures out how to play the zone efficiently, will be a nightmare for opponents.

Edit: This is a game from last season - forgot to check timestamp.

There's a ton more recaps of Kaleb's recent play but here's a small sample, from mid December.
http://www.newenglandrecruitingrepo.../Scholar-Roundball-Classic-Saturday-Recap.php
"Cushing 61 Champlain St. Lambert 55

Champlain came out ready to go, opening up an early lead and maintaining it for the vast majority of regulation, but the defending Class AA champions made a run late with Kaleb Joseph scoring 8 of his game high 20 points in the final three minutes of regulation. Joseph knocked down four threes while Jalen Adams chipped in with 15 points."

Hard to get full box scores of Cushing, but this site is one of the best for New England recruits.
Go Kaleb!

@PaulBiancardi Is Kaleb Joseph good enough to start at point guard for Syracuse next year in case Tyler Ennis declares for the Draft?

"He is from a physical standpoint. Joseph (Nashua, N.H./Cushing Academy) has good speed in the open floor to push the ball on missed shots and turnovers. His versatility as a point guard will serve him well. Down the road, the 6-foot-3 Joseph can be a strong defender as well.

The learning curve will be understanding the nuances of the position, which usually takes years. Tyler Ennis has been outstanding in both the physical and mental portion of being a high-level point guard. Right now, Ennis is projected to be a middle-to-late first-round draft pick in the NBA. I believe his draft position will only creep higher."

Does this mean we can have...you know.. transition again?

I don't want to lose Ennis but if transition means we start every year going 17- 0 and make it to the final four I will take it.

You meant a NC, didn't you?

Yes, but I didn't want to seem to cocky.

Is it just me, or does Kaleb bear somewhat of a facial resemblance to John Wallace?

Ok, I'll give you that picture, besides that I disagree

This video is bad...but worth it for the Joseph drive and dish at the 4:50 mark.

Kaleb Joseph talks about learning from Tyler Ennis next season. Question is will he ever get the opportunity though?

 

[BludOrange]

stole this off one of the recruiting sites.

Jalen Adams was the main show for Cushing on Sunday, but he wasn't the entire show. Syracuse bound four-star point guard Kaleb Joseph and St. Bonaventure wing signee Idris Taqqee were both outstanding as well. Currently ranked No. 55 in the class of 2014, Joseph made another push for a bump in the rankings with an efficient 17 points and eight assists. Taqqee supplied the energy, willingness to do the dirty work and some solid jump shooting and transition finishing to finish with 19 points nine rebounds.

also had this about adams...

Adams is an explosive scorer

During the summer, Ashburnham (Mass.) Cushing combo guard Jalen Adams, showed some serious flashes playing with Mass Rivals. Because of that, the junior was ranked No. 41 nationally in the class of 2015.

The last time saw Adams he had a tough outing. During November's National Prep Showcase he couldn't buy a shot and was a bit out of control. Sunday at the Hoophall, Adams was electrifying. The super athletic 6-foot-1 scorer went for 32 points, 3 assists, five rebounds and three steals while making 12 of his 20 field goal attempts.

Exactly how Adams went about scoring his buckets was most impressive. He made jumpers from deep but where he really excelled was attacking the rim. Adams has as quick a first step as there is in the class of 2015 and is a big time leaper who can finish from all angles once he gets into traffic. His game is all about speed and there are few capable of matching him.

The four-star prospect can be slightly out of control at times, but it is tough to have any issue with a player so aggressive who constantly puts pressure on defenses. Adams has emerged as a major priority for Conneticut and head coach Kevin Ollie was very visible watching him Sunday.

Others involved in the chase for Kansa State, Providence, Syracuse, Boston College, Minnesota, Maryland and more.

Did we have any coaches at this game, prospects on both sides?

Nah, you're really the only one who looks like JW.

 

[Francis03]

Game was on Friday. So obviously no chance of anybody from SU being there when travelling to Miami for the game yesterday.

 

[BludOrange]

Here is an article about his coach. I like the fact he has handled/coached some other good players.
