Watched Alabama/Vanderbilt last night.Alabama is a terrible outside shooting team also! BTW Vandy beat them pretty bad on their home court! How in the world did we beat that team?
 
I really admire how hard colt Ryan works at getting free for 3-point shots. He runs and runs in circles and cuts back against the defense and off screens.

To be a good shooter you need sound shooting mechanics and then PRACTICE, PRACTICe and more PRACTICE. I once read how many shots Larry Bird would take daily during the off season and it was in the hundreds.

Hopefully, a couple of this years redshirts are shooters because we sure need some.

Call up Rick Mount. He loves to tell everyone how to shoot! Along with how great of a shooter he was.

This is funny.When I was a kid I went to the Rick Mount Shooting School. I think he shot more shots than I did during instruction, and I was the one that was supposed to be learning and practicing.

Ha Ha me too at St. Joe.
It was a brag session for him. Really not that nice of a guy. But if you ask him he was the greatest. Oh and by the way did he tell you the story" I took a girl home from a date so he could play one on one' ? and the old ice cream payment for rebounding. It has been 15 years since that camp and i still remember that.

Same place, same stories. I took his instruction at the D1 camp at St. Joe...sounds like you did, as well. He made me feel inadequate becuase I didn't practice shooting for 4 hours every day like he did when he was my age at the time. I guess you aren't committed unless you do exactly as Rick Mount...WWRMD.
 
Mount's about 3 or 4 yrs. older than me, but because virtually all Purdue games were piped into the E-ville market during that era (Rex Mundi's 6'9" Tom Niemeier transferred back to Evansville after NOT initially cutting the mustard as a Boiler/he played HS ball w/ Bob Griese, who also played basketball @ PU - Purdue also signed E-ville IN All-staters Larry Weatherford (6'3" G/Bosse) and Bobby Ford (6'7" F/North).

Mount was one helluva shooter, regardless of his ego. If they'd had the 3 point shot back then, he'd averaged 40+ pts/gm. I doubt if he ever lifted a weight in the off-season, and his body was very fragile...built much like ISU's JAKE ODUM. He couldn't stay within 10' of the guy he was guarding, thus his extremely short NBA career. Defense was not a part of his hoop vernacular.
