Played Class 1A and a lot of the opponents looked to be 4-5 inches shorter than Chastain. Pretty easy to get jumpers off when not being guarded by 6'5 to 6'8 opponents. Was not impressed with the two videos I viewed.
That was his first one... That kind of opened the flood gates for everyone else.
You realize we were going to take another one or two 2016 players while still actively looking for transfers & have schollies for 2017? Jeeze dude get a grip.
Flood gates for everyone else? I'm sure he will get 250 major offers by end of day, as in March 30.
In some regards. But if this were true guys like Doug McDermott and Jimmer Fredette would be tearing up the NBA. Whatever level you are at, projecting to the next level is all about how your skills translate. For high school kids playing against D1 talent in high school or AAU it is much easier to project. Something as simple as not having a quick first step or shooting trigger can render a prolific scorer at one level completely useless at the next. Baseball players become lifetime minor leaguers because while they can consistently crush 90 mph fastballs 450 feet they can never hit the big league curve.
As critical as I believe the 2017 and 2018 recruiting classes to be, I think the concept of banking the 2016 schollies is a bit overrated. Out of the 3 open spots for 2016, if you bring in 2 more freshman and a 1 year grad transfer, you will still likely clear 3-5 spots for 2017 - Kendall, Grad transfer, Biggie and/or Haas going pro, and likely another annual unanticipated transfer. The only possible upside of carrying less than a full deck of scholarship players in 2016-17 is to enhance your playing time pitch to the 2017 and 2018 recruits. There will be room for them when all is said and done regardless.
He scored 21 pts in the championship game. The whole team had 38. He's got decent hops. They beat a very good Chicago Leo team who should've been in the 3A tournament. Leo is a private school and plays a lot of 3A schools.
He will ind up at Wisc. if they offer. Wisc. has a history of recruiting average white bball players and they become damm good.
That adds some clarity. Thanks. I absolutely don't see Haas going early (supported by the article about AJ's draft chances) and I really don't see Biggie going after two years. But one NEVER knows. I just would prefer having a solid player at the right position with two years experience at PU over the more or less same players coming in as a freshman. If we bank, we won't have that player with two years experience.
It's a highlight video but I'm a little stoked. 6'6" and can dribble. I have no idea of his passing, but he can get to the rim AND has range. He is athletic enough to play, has enough length, can get to the rim, has range, 6'6" and a good student. He can elevate on his jump shot...although at times it appears his guide hand follows the ball more than I like. Soooooo, why not the offers because this video shows some things and I assume he was seen in AAU UNLESS he just now had that light go off. I would need to see Bane more, but this kid is pretty versatile...
I like this video as well. Shows some great athleticism on the defense end. Kid has hops.
yeah, saw that and the impromptu dunk contest between team members. I can see some robbie in some areas, but wish I could see him pass more. Robbie played PG in high school and that really helped him become who he was. I just don't understand how this kid has been hidden "UNLESS" he is one of those players that the light just now came on. Great find..I'll stay tuned to this situation ...
I'm PROFILING - he goes to Butler or Northwestern and eats us up his Jr. and Sr. years.
I saw a pump fake, shoulder lead into a jumper, a penetrate and step-back to a jumpt shot, a shot with a hand coming right to his eye, and a jumper quick enough that the def never left his feet (aceepting the level of competition). As Reese says, can he pass? Does he even look to pass (since he scored 21 out of 38 points)? Does he rebound? They say he plays D?
Off of video alone I would take this kid over Bane. Has BIG athleticism and love the dribble pull up. There is attractive look to his game. Needs a left hand. State Champ and a winner no matter what class.
MxDermott's doing well with the Bulls this year. Kid can flat stroke it, and is more athletic than you probably think.
I've only watched highlight videos, but from the videos I've seen, it is easier to see how Chastain's game translates to the Big Ten than Bane's. Bane certainly looks like a creative scorer, but most of his shots in the highlight videos have a low release point and I'm not sure that I see the quickness in the videos to compensate.
they don't need to show his misses...they all look the same with none going through the net. Nothing to learn there
