Ian Schieffelin - 2021
- Thread starter spider23
- Start date
Yep, also picked up recent offers from BU and Charleston. Seeing some signs that academics may be important.
yes, this one is interesting. would think this guy is an ideal fit for our system and could thrive. Not a lot of chatter or Noah hype - but then again did not hear anything when we got the commitment from Dread. Hoping we are heavily involved as it is great to get a bunch of versatile wings, but we can really use a PF type that can bang and step out and shoot it.
My number one targets are Schieffelin and Gianni Thompson now. Hicks, Reynolds, and Johnson would all be great pick ups, but Schieffelin would be the perfect fit IMO.

I like this one too because of the skill set match. He doesn't have to be any more than an A-10 level player and he can be succesful here. I'd still take Gianni Thompson over him for sure, but the fit here looks good. That said, the bust potential on this one seems high to me too. The offers don't seem to match the skills which always gives me pause. But again, if we are going to be reaching, we are always best off reaching for a player who at least fits!
not sure what's not to like here. good size, tough, athletic, with range. looking for a negative but don't see it.

I have followed him on twitter for some time, he would be a huge get for our program. I see him heading to a P6 though interest in him is just growing weekly it seems..

Will be interesting to see if we are on his final list. This would be a great fit and combined with Weir would have the potential for our best front court tandem in some time. Only hope I have at this point is the fact that we were in early. Hope we are in the running still.

"in some time", meaning all the way back to Golden and Cayo.
Have grown to be a big Cayo fan, but Grant and Cayo are very good and very solid. Weir and Ian both have potential to be great or very good."in some time", meaning all the way back to Golden and Cayo.
I hope you're right but if Andre's about to score around 2,000 points, then every P6 program and most highly thought of mid majors need to fire their scouts.
Not so much worried about point totals but impact on winning and success. We have had a lot of great stats guys over the last 8 years. I think with the perimeter recruits in hand (Dji, Wilson, Nelson, Dread), a Weir/Schieffelin would give us interior firepower and defense to play with the big boys.
to me, Grant's a hall of fame Spider and the best center we've had. and in no way just a stat guy.
those are large shoes to fill. of course I hope Andre fills them.

Great to see us mentioned. Competition will be tough, and likely to have more big name suitors. Let's grab Ian and Hicks and we have our Fab Four - and we can sit on the last ship for a transfer.
Nelson, Dread, Hicks, Schieffelin following Wilson, Dji, and Andre would be a great two year run and have us fully loaded for the future - not to mention Connor and Tyler around for a couple more seasons with this group.

TJ was POY his senior year. Grant has had a great career, no doubt. I'm not sure I would go best center we've had. Certainly in consideration. TJ is the only one in my mind during my tenure rooting for the Spiders that would beat him out.
Geriot, I think would be right up there, if not for his ACL injury. Different player after that injury, still really good, but not like he was prior.
you're right. TJ was phenomenal. and our best through senior year. I hope Grant gets a full senior season to better compare. it's a shame he was gypped out of his junior year postseason.
Mike Winiecki was a heck of a center. He didn't have as much opportunity his first couple years from what I understand, but was 6th man on sweet 16 team, followed that up with first team all CAA. Strong, athletic - good two point shooter and FT shooter his senior season.
Yeah, that is my worry. Grant got no postseason his junior year and probably at best some abbreviated senior year. I know with COVID there is so much that sucks this year and basketball is a game, but these kids/young men have worked their asses off to have a potentially transformational senior year at UR, and it just sucks that it could taken from them by this.
It does suck for these kids. Wear a damn mask.
HoopSeen has updated their Georgia class of 2021 rankings, and Ian has moved up from 25th to 10th.
Other Spider targets on the list include Mutombo at #17 (very likely to pick G'town) and Durr at #40 (may not be in the mix anymore...been quiet and we already have two guards onboard). Former Spider targets on the list include Tucker at #5 (Xavier) and Shirley at #15 (South Alabama).

Ian has announced his top 5...us, Clemson, App State, Dayton, and VT.
Would be good to win this one obviously. Not just for how well he fits in, but this is the kind of list we lose out on the player almost all the time. Its no sin to be outrecruited by Duke etc. But the P5 on his list, we are better than right now and Dayton is a peer coming off a Top season. Winning this wold be a statement!
Ian is quite different from TJ and Grant; high motor, good shooter, very aggressive. Hope we get him.
