Did anyone go to this? How did Rhett look?
Click to expand...

I will ask Coach Igel. He was at the work out running some drills with the players. Did not get to talk to him about Rhett today. He was talking about J.T. and Rhett on a list to fill the last five spot on the all star team. He figures the top nine are pretty much a given and there are maybe four spots for a lot of players to fight for.
 
I went. He showed me some good skills. I would like to see him work on his mid-range J. He is very good inside (shooting).

He has a chance because they need a forward.
My team is:
the 3 IU guys F G G
Harris G
Ronnie Johnson G
Dunham G
Burgett F-C
R J Hunter F
Olaniyan C
Joe Reed C
Yoho F
Smith F-C
Marrero F-C

I for one would love to see both Rhett and J.T. on the roster. Two smaller school kids would be a stretch.

Yes, I don't have an extreme amount of confidence in either of them, but Yoho showed a good touch at the top 40 (if that helps any).
It might help Smith of they are looking to add an inside player.

I know. I had him on my original list, but took him off because of lack of rep in Indy. He did a pretty good job at the top 40.

He's not better than Smith, but it's hard to compare a 3 and a 5.

does everything smith does (a lot of it better) and more against better compeitition. how did that head to head match up go last xmas?

o'leary played the 4 and posted up so comparison not that much of a stretch. much more diversified as a player.

Sunday, they played like a 5 and a 3. They would not have been interchangeable. Smith had to use some muscle to match up with the kids from Bowman Academy and his outside shot is obviously not what O'Leary's is.

all of which highlights o'leary's versatility. he can play the 3, 4 and in a pinch he was a 5. has a higher ceiling. faced better competition. his work ethic shows in the quantum leap he made last season, he will grow a couple more inches. continue to get stronger and improve his passing and ballhandling. no comparison.

how many of rhett's shots did he block the last two times they faced each other? a lot. if they are only going to pick one player from this part of the state then reward the best.

I would be very happy to see any of the three ( Smith, Yoho, or O'Leary). All are deserving of the honor in my book.

Ok. I'll play your game. Smith is going to grow 4 inches and gain 30 pounds and have a knock-down 3pt J.

Oh. Projecting, huh. So that's what you call it.

I was at the top 40, so I'm not projecting anything. Were you there?

i would have gone to the top 60. i've seen more of both players in real game situations than you.
