Damezi finished with 35 points in Riley's opening night win over Laporte.

Game was never in doubt and the final score was 89-38.  Small extract from the Laporte newspaper's summary:

In the second quarter, Anderson nailed 4 of 5 three-pointers, and he scored 16 in the period.   Anderson had 27 of his game-high 35 points in the first half.  He sat out for stretches of the third, and the whole fourth quarter.  On the night, Anderson finished 8 for 9 behind the arc.

Yup! Not to derail the thread about Anderson, but what I love about this class and what Archie is doing is that while Garland would have been a great get, and Langford will obviously be great get if IU lands him and those guys would certainly accelerate things, between Smith and Durham and the guys currently in the '18 class, that is a really, really nice foundation to build on. 

Don't get me wrong, Archie is going to have to land the big fish consistently, and maybe it starts with Langford or maybe the '19 class, but the foundation is already in place for a really strong team in a year or two.

Not counting RL yet is Damezi the best shooter on the team next year?

Yeah it's hard not to get excited about Damezi!!!  He's a natural scorer.  He can definitely play full speed, and has excellent length.  He gets a rep as an outside shooter, but I think that's more a function of his ability to get open and knock it down than it is what he's able to do.  When you watch him, he's got great instincts and timing to sneak off to an open, unguarded shot and receive the pass.  Very heady player.  And another excellent kid with very good demeanor.  I'm thrilled he's a Hoosier.

Why was Notre Dame not a serious factor in his recruitment? 

Found this on NDInsider.   Whatever the reasons, it sounds to me like ND simply didn't have any interest in Damezi or it was clear early on that Damezi had zero interest in ND.

Comment From Dwight 

I read the SBT article on Damezi Anderson, well written. Is he even remotely considered by Brey & staff? I would think a local kid could help put bodies in seats.

11:48

Tom Noie (South Bend Tribune): 

Dwight:

Thanks for the shout-out....Anderson's a good kid and really special talent.

But.....

Isn't this program way, way, way beyond having to recruit local guys to get people to games? The last three years isn't enough?

Mike Brey attended one of Anderson's games last winter, but other schools (notably Purdue) were further down the recruiting road with him.

Peegs saying that Damezi was at the game last night. Very impressive to make that drive from South Bend on a (very late) school night. Kid definitely seems enthusiastic about being a Hoosier.

Did he sit with Rob and Trayce?
