Or “dominate D1 ball”. It’s tough for a kid when he gets a high rating just because they are tall and don’t have the skills. Not everyone can be a project in hopes they develop. So many never make it to that ceiling. I wonder if it is they are closer to it from the beginning and shouldn’t be raised just because they are tall. Height doesn’t alway make u for talent.

Pope needs to try to get Isaac Johnson and Mady Sissoko in the portal.

Are they both in portal? Can’t try if they aren’t.

I’m not sure either is worth a scholarship at this point.

Problem with Mady is he was/is a project, those guys shouldn't go to the top

I think Pope disagrees w you in a second if either becomes available.

Good way to land on probation.

I’m saying hope they put their names in because of lack of playing time.

They probably aren't playing for a reason.

Could say the same of most of our starters if they were on the same rosters.

It appears that Isaac has three centers currentlyin front of him in playing time

All four of those Duck players you speak of are true 5s

I think you are confusing recruiting rating w/ readiness to dominate D1 ball

Guys hardly ever get a high rating just for being tall.

SinkingQuffa

Not true. Most likely do more than not.

Go find all the 6'9 + kids playing prep ball in Utah right now

Yes the percentage is very high compared to the 5’10” player. It is definitely a

Yeah, height's a factor. So are speed & hops.

I haven't been impressed by either one. Might need to aim higher

Do you have inside knowledge of this?

I read Isaac Johnson as Jonathan Isaac... I need to get some sleep.

Waluigi

Isaac is long but plays small. Not nearly tough enough for what we need.

Big hands & soft touch, too. Enter coach Burgess.

SinkingQuffa

1/14/22 11:55pm

I don’t know about those guys, but we’ll definitely need to get bigger/longer…

what if Pope rejected Barcello for the same criticisms listed above ?

CCookie

1/15/22 8:17am

Pope needs to get the best BIGs available in the portal. Not necessarily those two.

Wingnut

Both aren’t good enough to play

What wouldn't Pope give to have Haarms back this year?
