Have you seen Gibson play on YouTube?

I would compare him to Bledson athletically, and Neese as a ball handler, and Larry as a shooter.

I guess we'll find out in November.
He’s a big guard (6’4”) with stat lines that anybody would drool over. Still have to see it work in D1 but this feels like somebody who could easily be our best player on any given night. #notascout but the first game that pops up on YouTube is also one of his worst shooting performances, based on the box score. Hard to imagine that somebody who even has a twinkle of NBA potential can’t also be a solid D1 player. Time will tell.
 
Trenton Gibson senior stats right here.
Sign me up for any player who knows how to get to the free throw line and makes as many attempts as Gibson.
Laid some real big eggs from 3 more than a few times… But clearly had the green light. Confidence doesn’t seem to be an issue.

This team has 6 seniors who might be easy to project getting the most minutes. Plus 7 undeclassmen. This team feels deep enough to platoon. In reality, we’ll probably see another year of 8-9 players getting most of the minutes from game to game.
I agree with the number in the rotation bc coach has said as much in regards to his coaching philosophy.

He is most definitely NOT an NBA prospect.

- Agreed with the Crawford statement.
- Martin probably will redshirt baring anything unforeseen.
- "We'll see if Gibson is good enough too be Larry's back up?" I'm a Larry fan; but no way did Gibson come here as a grad-transfer to back up Larry. If Larry makes another year of improvement to offensive game, he will be a very serviceable back-up in the MVC.
- Neese, Henry, McCauley are all going to be starting together more times than not this season. I think it becomes of more of question "who is ready to battle Stephens, because he is going to try take your minutes"
- Avila is a complete wildcard this season.
1. I'm really curious about the Crawford redshirting thing. Looking at him last season we basically all say he needed a redshirt year. I'm not looking at him like that. Multiple reports are that dude is putting in the work in the weight room and on the court. If that's the case then I REALLY hope he is the kind of dude that refuses to redshirt b/c he believes in himself (and his work) so much that he KNOWS he's taking someone's minutes next year. I know that's a dream, and there's no way for me to have any confidence that's a possibility. But that's my hope. In my humble opinion he has more upside than anyone on this roster with his size, length, handle, stroke, speed and twitch. If this dude puts it together he's gonna be trouble.
4. Disagree. Wanted to go all whoever that was (SSOM maybe?) and say if Neese starts 5 games this season I'll get off here forever, but there's too many new roster pieces to really know anything and I kinda like it here. I honestly don't see Neese as a starter for this team. I get what he's done, 1k point scorer and all that. I just don't see it. Usually i'd follow that up with "I hope I'm wrong" but I actually don't. If I'm wrong then the new (non big) guys aren't all that.

Yes - I am wanting more people to put their SycamorePride life on the line when they make certain statements - I think it would be so much more fun and would require people to actually think before they said something on here!

But just so we're clear - you don't think Neese is going to start 5 games this season? I tell you what... I will go all SSOM for you - I will take the over on 5 games and I will leave if it doesn't happen. (Serious injury doesn't count either...)

So I've got Cobie Barnes and Cooper Neese prop bets in play. Nice. Someone needs to give me more prop bets like this rather quickly - maybe we can have a prop bet thread where you put your entire username on the line. I'm thinking about also putting my line on JS actually getting a technical foul this year - he's rather chill but I'm thinking about taking the over on 1 technical foul.

Most of us have known who Gibson is for about a month. I’ll trust an NBA draft expert who says he has draft potential. Nothing guaranteed but a relatively high ceiling has been placed on him by people who get paid to do those things. Must be something about him to receive that type of assessment.

My week is ruined.

why even have a season this fall?
Maybe he can go to a junior college and become a Power five recruit with offers from a powerhouse like IUPU- Fort Wayne Like Barnes. AAANNNDDD he did have the honor to set in a chair right beside Lansing for a whole year. That alone should make him an NBA prospect, Right Hooper! LOL!
 
Yeah, because you have to enter the actual NCAA system that says you are available.

It’s such a clown show they should be able to create a social media like profile that says:

Hobbies:
Gender:
Social media handles:
Schools of interest:
How much NIL Money do you require:
What position do you want to play: Mervis - Walk-on please.
Strengths:
Weakness:
Favorite quote:
Favorite food:
Favorite drink:

Did you watch him play? So far, nobody but me has described his strengths and weaknesses and the opinions being expressed are from ignorance.

If you do watch him play, note his quickness, jump and handle.

Am I the only guy that researches our recruits on Youtube? I would certainly welcome differing opinions of someone that has actually watched him play a game.
