Might be the least impressive highlight tape I've seen. Maybe it's a disservice to him, maybe not. All I saw were a bunch of layup put backs against much smaller competition. I didn't see any shooting. I didn't see much athleticism above the rim. Maybe a different tape would prove me wrong.
Chevez Goodwin - Power forward
- Thread starter Ulla1
- Start date
Our bigs have been great at stealing the ball. TA, TJ, DT and ANO were the top 4 A10 big men (6'7+) in terms steal percentage. TA has the 11th best steal percentage in all of the A10, DT was 13th. TJ also had the highest assist rate in the A10 for 6'7+ players. These are important skills for big men to have on Richmond teams. Maybe our system leads to big men getting steals, maybe we teach technique that generate steals, maybe we recruit players who are naturally good stealers?
I trust the staff more than posters here, especially since all we have is one video to go off of. The video wasn't particularly impressive, but it doesn't necessarily reflect Chevez' talent. As with most high school players, you don't know how good they will actually be until they step on the court and play the college game. From what I have read he may be a good shooter from range which is another thing we traditionally look for in a big man.

I'm not exactly sure what people are expecting to see from a 16yo that's 6'8" that has not even grazed his physical potential yet. "He needs to put on weight" ... no shit!
The kid can run, he can catch and he can dribble. At 6'8" at 16, that's pretty good to me. And I can promise you, the 6'8" 16yo's that do alot more than that have Coaches Cal and K and Roy W watching their games.

Another big man the Spiders had offered, Jeriah Horne, cut his list to six schools and the Spiders are not on it.
"My six schools are DePaul, Kansas State, Iowa State, Nebraska, Wichita State and Pepperdine,” Horne said. “

totally agree with Mo, but also ... I'm not buying the 190. no way. maybe that site hasn't updated his size. looks plenty big with room to grow. this site with picture has him at 6'9" 210 from this past April.

Here is a nice article about Chevez. The Spiders are in his final list and expects to take an official visit in September. Seems like Chevez has a great attitude and big up side.

Well said, Mo!

all about upside here. the most unfinished project of the target videos we've watched, just coming into his own this summer. high boom or bust factor. I like that multiple sources mention his motor.
sounds like he's got his head on straight, too. surprised though, that with offers just starting to come in that he's already narrowing it down. works well for us. I like our chances, love them actually, if we get him on campus for a visit. sounds like he wants to decide in the fall. a lot of late bloomers like this want to wait for the highest offer to come in, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
this is the kind of big I like taking a chance on.

I live less than an hour from Chevez and will go see him play this winter. I will send notes and vids of his games.
