I would love to see Cayo score 1000+ points next year. It is doable for him, more power to him!!
Who wants Cayo to score 1000 points?
- Thread starter Gallipoli
- Start date
would love to see it, would have to be one of few, if not only team to have 5 @1000 pt scorers on team. But W's more important!
Agreed, Nate is fine young man. Very polite with a comedic personality. He also has reinvented the UR rebound along with Tyler Burton.
I was trying to compare Nate to another professional player who was successful with limited outside shooting ability.
Though his personality is nothing like this player, his slashing style and rebounding ability reminds me of Dennis Rodman.
By Nate improving his free throw shooting he now is not an automatic target for fouling. He drives to basket as hard as anyone
and has learned several different moves in the lane. He is a warrior.

I've been a fan of Cayo's for years (just ask 97 
). I'm not seeing Rodman rebounding ability. Cayo picks up 12 boards per 100 possessions. Rodman averaged over 21 for his career in the NBA.

was a relentless rebounding machine on both ends of the court.
I realize you are trying to find someone who is a big man who can't shoot outside the paint as a comparison to Cayo, but comparing him to an all time great player like Rodman is probably a bit over the top. There are lots of run of the mill big guys in the NBA who can't shoot very well (well their used to be). I'll use one from my Sixer's fandom. Tyrone Hill. Good steady player, started on the Sixer's 2001 run to the Finals. Terrible looking outside shot but got a lot of workman like/hustle points and efforts. He was the 5th-or 6th option on that Sixer's team, much like Cayo is to us. Doesn't make his contributions unimportant but a Rodmanesque player, he is not.
And yes, 05 was right and I was wrong on Cayo being a player for us when he came on board. He has developed into a really solid A-10 level big man. He probably has improved his game at UR more than any player I can recall in recent memory.
Blind squirrel syndrome. Throw enough predictions out there and one has to come true.
I wasn't going to say that out loud but since you did.
You also nailed Gilyard being a special player for us on the day he signed.
97 - I do believe you were correct on Verbinskis, Schneider, Pistokache and quite a few other absolute reaches.
I am interested to see how Tomas fares at Lafayette, as it looks like he will be competing for PT with a kid I coached for a couple years in middle school.
Gilly - I was high on too - I thought his quickness and skill level was off the charts. Watching the little bit of video I have seen on Wilson, I am not seeing the elite skill level of Gilly. Much higher rated/pursued than Gilyard. Looks like a good/tough athlete but I don't see the high ceiling like you could see in KA, SDJ and Gilly highlights.

Like what I see with Wilson and think he will be a good contributor. Just not seeing the shot making ability, but that very well could be due to only seeing about 3 minutes of film
I believe 05 comments on Gilly was that the coaching staff was really excited when he signed. No idea on the comparison excitement level for Wilson, although he did have a higher offer list than Gilly did.
The reaches are pretty easy to spot. Just check out the level of other offers and similarly where they end up ranking in their regional/state all state teams and if they led their teams to and in the postseason. If we are signing guys with few other D-1 offers and don't make their all state/region teams at a high level, those should be two big red flags.
Wilson has the other offers, but I didn't see the recognition from local sports guy. Weir had a ton of low major offers and was purporting to have some big guys interested but seems to be getting the love on the state/local teams. So, I don't see any slam dunks in either of those guys, but neither had the double red flags that should be concerning either. Cautiously optimistic on both of those guys at present.
This thread needs to get back on track. And it needs some controversy. With that in mind, I would like to proclaim officially that, no, I have no interest in seeing Nathan Cayo score 1,000 points.
If I'm on the island already, then the trip already happened, so how can I enjoy it?
Anyway, I left off the end of my thoughts. I have no interest in seeing Nathan Cayo score 1,000 points in a game. It would take far too long. I've got things to do.
