SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

& then see how many go on to D1 competition.

It's not a gimme at that height, by any means. Most guys that height are too slow & stiff. Even the thin, well conditioned guys. There's usually a genetic price for being that tall.

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 am not putting Isaac down but rather your comments on BYU starters is out of

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

SinkingQuffa

1/15/22 2:34am

Yes that is helpful. Now it is understandable why so many 4 stars never make it

87cougs

1/15/22 12:20pm

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

SinkingQuffa

1/15/22 1:07pm

Not true. Most likely do more than not.

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

87cougs

1/15/22 2:41pm

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

SinkingQuffa

Agreed

Spencer to NCAA: you can kiss my fully Johnson heinie.

SinkingQuffa

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

Johnson ain't coming. Ever.

Do you have inside knowledge of this?

TADOW

Basis or source for stating so emphatically? TIA

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

Waluigi

1/14/22 10:20pm

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

Big Daddy D

1/14/22 10:25pm

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…

Totally agree with you JPal !

CCookie

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

1/15/22 8:30am

Both aren’t good enough to play

Blue2thebone

1/15/22 10:14am

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