Could BYU use a 54% three point shooter?

mjmill

5'11 Probably not

Not ideal size but the kid is a true point with big time handles, very quick.

mjmill

1/18/21 3:00pm

We need guards bad. Why not give him an offer if his handles are as good as you

bigbossbyu

Painfully, many of those highlights were against our HS team

Could not disagree more adamantly on Connor — As a freshman he was way ahead

Utah offered him a PWO 2 weeks ago.

mjmill

1/18/21 3:00pm

I wouldn't mind BYU offering him a PWO spot either based on the highlights.

ldssdl

1/18/21 3:03pm

Yeah. Too bad we couldn't have gotten in there first.

SinkingQuffa

He has been hearing from quite a few coaches ranging from WCC, MWC, Big Sky, Ivy

mjmill

1/18/21 3:11pm

Do we know if he's on the BYU coaches' radar at least? Is there a way to refer

ldssdl

1/18/21 3:13pm

Nobody at BYU has reached out yet, no. I have emailed Coach Fueger about him

mjmill

1/18/21 3:15pm

Dang I read 6’11” the first time

Nuke

1/18/21 8:05pm

His game reminds me of Jimmer. Is he LDS? Or has plans to be?

ldssdl

1/18/21 3:00pm

He is LDS, yes

mjmill

1/18/21 3:01pm

I'd take his shooting ability & handles right now, absolutely.

SinkingQuffa

1/18/21 3:03pm

Only if he wears body tights

CougarCanuck76

I like his film. He plays bigger than his size.

Tripod

1/18/21 3:12pm

Short and not D1 quick. PWO, maybe. Scholie no.

Archaea

1/18/21 3:13pm

Very good shooter. May not even be 5'11".

lightmann

1/18/21 3:22pm

Neither is Averette. I'd still take him. So long

SinkingQuffa

1/18/21 3:26pm

This young man appears to be a much better shooter than Averette. I'd take him too. But it would be a wait and see on

lightmann

1/18/21 3:39pm

I can certainly see why teams want him as a walkon. His competition

SinkingQuffa

1/18/21 4:09pm

This dude is no where close to Averette in terms of athleticism

LakeshowCougs

1/18/21 4:52pm

I kinda assumed that, but I'd like to see more film of him.

SinkingQuffa

1/18/21 4:57pm

He would not be able to get his shot off against D1 players.

Archaea

1/18/21 5:05pm

Can he defend? We have plenty of PWO’s who can shoot, but if they can’t defend

NowIsTheTime

1/18/21 3:30pm

2.2 steals per game

Archaea

Lots of not called reaching fouls.

Boring

1/18/21 6:44pm

I watched the kid play in person at the start of the season in their Jamboree.

UMWolverine

Like a smaller Nick Emery

mokelembembe

1/18/21 3:36pm

His handles look better. I wish Nick had been a PG.

SinkingQuffa

1/18/21 4:29pm

Not much smaller...

icecougar

1/18/21 11:37pm

Wish he was 6’4”

Bullrider

1/18/21 3:58pm

Maybe he can go on a mission and grow a few more inches.

ldssdl

1/18/21 3:59pm

His competition is what worries me

LakeshowCougs

1/18/21 4:50pm

Same competition level Connor Harding and Kolby Lee played against

mjmill

1/18/21 4:50pm

Yeah Connor Harding & Colby Lee are over 6 ft tall. I got the chance to watch

LakeshowCougs

1/18/21 4:54pm

Connor made a name for himself in AAU

dk4

1/19/21 10:20am

Not big enough and not athletic enough

izzle

1/18/21 4:58pm

Isn't Barrcello over 50%

Beetdiggercoug

1/18/21 5:52pm

Weak competition. Did he play AAU ball? My guess he did and is a serviceable

gp232

1/18/21 6:55pm

Only if he can dunk at that same percentage. 🙂

OldFogey

1/18/21 6:56pm

I don’t want him if I can’t pronounce his first name. Too many consonants!

TheoHux

1/18/21 8:24pm

Quick shooter. Looks pretty good. BYU should at least keep him on their radar.

Countcougula

Sounds a bit like Dantley Walker from a few years ago that BYU passed on:

NewMexiCoug

Played some pick up ball with him one summer morning at Lincoln High School.

LakeshowCougs

1/18/21 9:20pm

Didn't he have a 75 pt game in HS?

SinkingQuffa

1/18/21 10:32pm

Yeah he did. I went to one of his games and left at halftime. He was a good

LakeshowCougs

1/18/21 10:50pm

Understood. How did he fare at UNLV? I remember seeing him in 1st year back from

SinkingQuffa

1/19/21 5:15am

He played minimally. I don’t think they gave him a fair shot. Ended up at

LakeshowCougs

1/19/21 7:15am

Played against him in 7th and 8th grade. Kid was amazing at the time

bigbossbyu

1/18/21 11:31pm

Man you are a young buck!

LakeshowCougs

1/18/21 11:33pm

54% great but doesn’t always mean transition will be same at D1 level
