Woolfolk was 6'3 maybe 6'4 240lbs- I remember Tarrant being asked one time what if he was 6'6 or 6'7. His reply-"we wouldn't have him". David Robinson I believe said that Woolfolk was the most physical player he ever went up against even though he was 6 inches shorter
He gets his hand too far under ballNice practice video; remember Kevin Anderson coming off screens in a similar manner and hitting winning baskets. OSC
yeah, that's a carry ... if this was 1982.He gets his hand too far under ball
spiderman, you are right; times have changed! OSCyeah, that's a carry ... if this was 1982.
Yes, I was wrong. I'm sure he's never been called for that in high school how could he have if he's a Division 1 prospect. He's probably the second coming of Kevin Anderson.spiderman, you are right; times have changed! OSC
LongTime, as an old guy I can remember when just about every dribble by current players would have been called "palming" or "carrying" the ball. Of course, I seem to recall when there were jump balls at the foul lines. The game has changed tremendously over the last 60 years. BTW, I apologize for my optimism, just the way I have approached my life. OSCYes, I was wrong. I'm sure he's never been called for that in high school how could he have if he's a Division 1 prospect. He's probably the second coming of Kevin Anderson.
It will never be 1982 again and palming the basketball will never be called again because it makes for better basketball.
And I'm sure I'm the only one slightly nauseated by some of the false optimism on this board. I wish all our recruits the best... Just calling it like I see it.
He has a low release point on his shots, but moves left or right really well and of course he never misses!!Nice practice video; remember Kevin Anderson coming off screens in a similar manner and hitting winning baskets. OSC
Nope. This kid is really good and will be key late in games and against full court pressure. OSCRedshirt maybe?
Annap, FWIW, according to 247, Jacob is our 8th best recruit since 2000. OSCRedshirt maybe?
05, agree that it is an inexact science, but if you look at the top 8 on the list, save for Trey Davis, they are pretty impressive. OSCUlla, this isn't a dig on Gilyard at all, as I think he's going to be good for us, but 247 also has Chris Richard, Peter Thomas, Monte Sanders, Kevin Hovde ahead of SDJ. Harper is also behind Conor Smith.

So two games of 8-8 and 9-9. That will do...I only counted like 17 or so...
I think we can have too many good PGs. If we had 13 really good point guards our team probably wouldn't be too good.Nice to see we have gotten a PG who can step in for ShawnDre after this season, and who can clearly really handle the ball.
We cannot have too many good PG's on the team, so am always happy to see a good one commit early. Now, on to the one or two BIGs we can use to take over for TJ, at the C and PF positions.
SDJ is not even our PG now, that will be Khwan this year, with SDJ playing more 2 guard. And then we have Demonte as well as another good PG option. gilyard may be really good but he is coming into and already stacked and young crowd of guards. Meanwhile we have 2 players on roster who are legit low post options, which is at least 2 too few. Need more big men desperately.
Nice article. Very excited about this guy. While you can't teach height, quickness, jumping ability (I know you can improve these), I do think you can't teach the "it" factor either. This kid is confident and skilled and appears to have a strong desire to be very good. BTW I think Godwin has the same, but with Godwin seemingly out, I think this guy is the top guy in this recruiting class now. Very big get for our program.I can't emphasize enough how many good things I've heard about this kid.
I hope this helps take some of the sting away from losing Godwin.
