We need Mr Geronimo to be a DeAndre Hunter type player. Kid looks like he has a good wing span

And we need Leal and Galloway to be Guy and Jerome

Reminds me a little bit of Sam Thompson from Ohio State ~5 years ago. Not sure if that’s a compliment or not, but it looks like Thompson is in the Hornets organization now, so maybe it is.

St. Paul’s beaten by Brewster Academy — didn’t see score.  Geronimo 21 pts.  8 reb.   2 blocks.  2 assists.

Watched most of the stream. There was no announcer and the scoreboard was in the corner and pretty much unreadable, but it was a beating. Brewster has a team of D-1 kids and St Paul’s has 1. But Geronimo was the best athlete on the floor, better even than Clarke, just not as skilled or polished. Blocked Clarke twice at the rim, 1 was called a foul but looked clean, and Cross once. One of the quickest leapers I have ever seen. Just remarkable. Also made 3 open 3’’s. Release looks really clean, but is a hair slow at this point. Forced a lot of stuff off the bounce, no surprise given his team, and turned it over maybe half a dozen times. Not worried about that at all. Very impressive tool kit. 1 other thing: the camera wasn’t near the court, but Geronimo looked taller than Clarke, who I’ve always seen listed at 6’7”. Wonder if the kid is still growing.

Awesome stuff

We need him to be a point guard, knock down shooter or center:)

He might be great for us, I just don’t understand how this recruiting class solves our needs

It is a little puzzling because all three look to be either a shooting guard or a wing.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

St. Paul’s beaten by Brewster Academy Geronimo 21 pts. Including 3-3s.    8 reb.   2 blocks.  2 assists.

St. Paul’ beaten by Vermont Academy. 71-69.  Both weekend games a part of Hoophall Classic.  Geronimo 21 pts including 4-3s.  Also 9 reb.

NOTE:  Event used college 3-point line

Seems like a kid that might be ready to contribute year 1. God I hope so

Maybe not, and we won’t really need him to. We should be returning our top eight players.

Green?  And we are gonna need somebody to hit some 3s next year. 

[HoosierAloha]

I don’t see him getting run in front of Smith and Hunter. If he can somehow play to two he might get some minutes.

If he can hit 3s and not screw up on defense he should start. 

[HoosierTrav]

I follow his pg’s dad on Twitter. He posts video of the games from floor level. Kid is developing nicely. Maybe the highest ceiling of any player I’ve ever seen. Very good from 3, lockdown defender and out of this world athleticism. Dude can damn near get his head above the rim from a flat footed start. We will like him a lot. I was skeptical of him at first but he’s starting to put it together against some really high level competition.

There's been some talk here that Justin might try to finish his undergrad in three years, then play his final season elsewhere as a grad transfer. Not sure if that'll happen, but it's been mentioned  ...

Not trying to be an @$$ but I would be happy with that. We need someone who can stretch the floor at his position. Jerome Hunter is our future at the spot. He seems to be coming along. 

[Brass Cannon]

I still think we are best served with Smith moving to the 4. 
 

Phinisee

Guard that can hit a shot and play D 

Wing the can hit a shot and play D

Smith 

TJD

 

At this point I don’t really care who fills in those two spots

Completely agree. I haven’t looked at numbers so this could be completely wrong, but I think our best lineups are when only have 2 of TJD, Brunk, and Smith in at one time.

I thinkHunter is slowing coming along, think it would help him a lot to get more minutes to get in rhythm. Would eventually love to see a lineup of:
1 - Rob
2 -Armaan
3 - Hunter
4 - Smith
5 - TJD

Sorry, just don't see leaving a big that averages close to 10/10 per game, provides leadership and plays his heart out every game off of the floor. Brunk stays out there.

I'd like to see Brunk's starts be matchup dependent. We need him when other teams have good bigs, but against smaller lineups I like Justin at the 4. The depth on the front line should allow us to play whichever 2 of the 3 bigs are playing well. That's of course assuming Hunter makes the jump and becomes a good option at the 3 next year. Would allow us to add shooting without sacrificing much size.
