Chris Ledlum - A few clips

Seems like a more athletic Race.

I know he was mentioned a few pages ago, time to bring him back to the front.

 

I read that Coach Woodson has spoken to him so we are definitely interested. Staff knew his situation and that he had to go to the portal, so they were prepared.

Would love to see Reneau develop into that big wing that we hoped Race would be. He can score against bigs but if he were able to play alongside a 6'10" athletic big while knocking down jumpers... we'd be entering modern basketball!

Now to shoot more 3s and balance the offense

IMO, Reneau could probably develop into a somewhat effective wing but is a more natural 4 and would be better playing alongside a good shooting/scoring wing than being forced into that role himself.

Woodson and Kenya. Big/physical kid it seems. I like it.

I know he only shot 29% from 3 but his mechanics look pretty good.

Fardaws Aimaq back in the portal.

I read someone made a good comp that Max came in as a senior with poor shooting numbers and improved immensely. IT does look good.

I use big wing as the 4 and consider modern basketball more of having a PG (1) and big (5) with everything else almost interchangeable. Although, that doesn't always hold with wings playing more point and small ball having a big wing play the 5.

I'd like to see Reneau develop his shooting skills while maintaining his ability to score in the post. He could become difficult to guard and our offense could by more dynamic if that happens. I would hate to see Reneau be forced into a true big on the block which would place limitations on him and he offense.

I don't if we have a snowball's chance with Chris Ledlum, but for me two years of him would be a better formula for winning than any four/five star freshman we could bring in:

• 6'6" with long arms and physical. He's a full sized three. Perfect to pair with Banks or JG at the four and still have enough size.
• Can guard three positions.
• Former top 100 recruit
• Can create his own shot (that's a huge need for next year)
• Not just a Harvard kid  - third team Academic All-American. In other words, a seriously mature, smart, leader.

Two years of that kid? No wonder he's in very high demand.

I think he will make a visit here after finals week. Which is this week for Harvard

That would be absolutely awesome.

I thought Harvard had semesters and not quarters. If so, no way they're having finals mid March. Do you mean midterms? If he's visiting after finals it will be May.

You might be right, I just read that he is studying for finals this week and won't talk about recruiting until it's over

Josh Cohen's games against power 5 teams this year:

Butler:  37 minutes, 8/14 from the field, 7 rebounds, 18 points

Ohio State:  34 minutes, 8/16 from the field, 10 rebounds, 18 points

Miami (F):  38 minutes, 10/16 from the field, 9 rebounds, 30 points.

Three game totals:  109 minutes, 26/46 from the field, 26 rebounds, 66 points.

So doubt that B1G teams would be licking their chops.

Fair enough, that is good info. I've never heard of him before and was going off the video clip, which was embarrassingly bad, IMO.

Based on Harvard’s academic calendar, this is the last week of the first half of the term, and some courses only run half term (this is pretty typical at a large university). So Ledlum probably has a class or two that end this week.

Next week is their spring break.

Itd be sweet to lock him up asap
