Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 New England Recruiting Report discussing late bloomers. Jordan Geronimo, St. Paul’s – Geronimo is the obvious answer in the region and one of the better national candidates as well. He has all the physical tools, the innate character to keep developing, and still vast untapped potential. And while he’s already committed to Indiana, the reality is his level of recruitment was based more on his tools and potential coming out of the summer then it was his production or ability to already dominate a high-level game. In short, he may be barely scratching the surface. Stromboli, pumpfake and barrettballer 3 Quote

The word 'raw' may be applicable to Jordan. He's very athletic but not yet a baller if that makes sense. He'll be a good one to watch what Archie can do with him. And when I describe him as such, I don't mean to imply he's a project as was some of the kids who never saw the light of day under our former coaching staff. Demo and WayneFleekHoosier 2 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 St. Paul's lost its last regular season game 76-60 to St. Sebastian's. The recaps I rely on to provide you with Jordan's game stats are written by St. Paul's students. There is no mention of him in this particular recap. Quote

That's crazy for someone 6-6. Quote

IUc2016 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Lander throwing lobs to this kid should be fun to watch. I know it was highlights, but that was some impressive stuff all around. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Sota Hoosier Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Wait...this kid is beast. I haven’t paid attention to him at all but I’m impressed. I know the competition isn’t great but he could be a force for IU. Reminds me of OG the way he moves but his game is more advanced than OG’s was in HS. Quote
mdn82 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 I love the way he attacks. He is going to posterize someone early. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HinnyHoosier and jk34 2 Quote

The block at the 3:43 mark, Jesus, he doesn’t even gather. Incredible. Even if the kid’s game never fully develops, he’s gonna make some plays that people never stop talking about. chicagoHOOSIER 1 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 I commented some time back that at times it looks like he's loafing he's moving so effortlessly. I hope people don't get their expectations too high expecting a freshman of the year type season. He's far from a polished basketball player but if Archie and staff do their job, I think we've got a really good one. Napleshoosier, mdn82 and chicagoHOOSIER 3 Quote

I’m not sure how good of a player he’ll be especially early on, but I’m ecstatic for cupcake season to watch him yam on some poor kid from Directional State.

Solid defender in spurts. If he gives us 10 solid mpg next year I would be ecstatic. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Class of '66 Old Fart and HinnyHoosier 2 Quote

Has had monster games against some of the best high school teams in the nation. He will be our next OG. Highest upside of the entire class. He’s getting better very quickly.

hoosierbgh Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 He seems to have a nose for the ball, especially on rebounds. With the aggression on display in that vid he could be a dangerous player if he tightens up his handles considerably. Quote
