Class of '66 Old Fart Posted October 2, 2020 Author Posted October 2, 2020 Worth a read. It had been 10 months. That’s what the doctor said. Based on the size of the break, the injury most likely had been around for a while. For the last 10 months, there’s a good chance that Dravyn Gibbs-Lawhorn played on a fractured right foot. That means the 21 points per game Gibbs-Lawhorn averaged last season as a freshman at McCutcheon High School was on a broken foot. That means the 31 points he dropped in a game with Indiana Elite this summer was on a broken foot. https://www.insidethehall.com/2020/10/02/the-potential-of-2023-guard-dravyn-gibbs-lawhorn-and-his-impressive-freshman-season/?fbclid=IwAR1nxHEsDlurGuCrAawGN3YMf25bzlO0Q40Mv07Qw0iUF3JLNtV6ByBzj78 HoosierAloha, ray and WayneFleekHoosier 3 Quote

Well, if he follows the Jalen Washington path to upward mobility he should be a top 5 kid by this time next year. Class of '66 Old Fart 1 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted November 24, 2020 Author Posted November 24, 2020 Leaving McCutcheon for prep school Real Salt Lake Basketball Academy in Utah, From the Lafayette Journal & Courier - McCutcheon was riding a wave of good fortune in its backcourt. After four years of Robert Phinisee, now a point guard for the Indiana Hoosiers, there was a one-year gap before Dravyn Gibbs-Lawhorn. The dynamic scorer put on one show after another last year as a freshman with his long-range shooting and an equally impressive mid-range game along with the ability to get to the basket and soar over defenders. It lasted one season. Gibbs-Lawhorn will leave McCutcheon for prep school Real Salt Lake Basketball Academy in Utah, he announced Tuesday. Following a freshman season where Gibbs-Lawhorn averaged 21 points per game, he received college offers from Indiana and Purdue with interest from Michigan State, Xavier, Cincinnati and Butler, according to recruiting service Rivals.com. Gibbs-Lawhorn, who starred in a Gatorade commercial that began airing early in March, suffered a foot injury that was going to cost him the 2020-21 high school season. He has not been cleared to play, but his rehab is ahead of schedule, Gibbs-Lawhorn's father Ben Gibbs said. The differing basketball schedule at Real Salt Lake Academy will allow Gibbs-Lawhorn to come back before its season ends. Real Salt Lake Academy is a first-year program coached by David Evans, previously coach at Wasatch Academy in Utah. Gibbs-Lawhorn plays for the Indiana Elite AAU program. He will remain at Real Salt Lake Academy for the duration of his high school career, according to his father. JaybobHoosier 1 Quote

Archie is so unique that you are kind of drawn to it. You don't hear anyone calling Painter by his first name, and so on. When I interviewed Dra this summer he was very much a "yes sir" "no sir" kind of kid. Demo, GloryDays, mamasa and 6 others 9 Quote

So FWIW..... https://www.prospectiveinsight.com/post/dra-gibbs-lawhorn It’s possible there are other reasons the staff backed off but size/length are a clear emphasis. Clearly this is a talented player but it wouldn’t surprise me if Woody’s staffs mostly avoid smaller guards based on everything we’ve seen Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted September 22, 2021 Author Posted September 22, 2021 Comment on Gibbs-Lawhorn following last weekend's DT Academy event in Norcross, GA. The Indiana-native is prepping in Utah and immediately popped out during drills, he’s got a great-looking jump shot that soars and cuts the net, in 3 on 3 drill work he was unstoppable and took much of that into gameplay Sunday where he was able to take anyone there off the bounce (and there were some serious defenders in the gym) and was tremendous out in the open floor, can play it smooth or get off the deck in a hurry around the basket, holds Indiana and Purdue offers from his home state and that list is going to expand rapidly.
