Looks like the staff is prioritizing a ~4/5-man class, Cupps, Newton, Big TBD (Booker, Page), Dynamic Wing TBD (Power, Kaiser), and maybe another Guard TBD (Jackson, Harris-Smith)...as @Class of '66 Old Fartsays, these things generally work themselves out and the staff has a plan. lillurk and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

Plays so hard, but is also extremely smart. Have watched him play A LOT since he was a freshman, and he has gotten better and better. Saw him play several times during the DMV Live Events in June with his high school team, Paul VI. Their Assistant Coach, Lamar Butler, who played guard for the George Mason team who went to the final 4 back in 2006, started him at PG a few times and he was stellar.

Do you see him eventually evolving into a full-time point guard or as more of a secondary facilitator? Thank you for the kind words! Honestly, I will have to reserve judgment until I see him play more of the position this year. I will say that he looked great during the live period events against some good comp, but it will obviously be different playing point in the Big 10. He was able to push the pace and get what he wanted at will, but I'd like to see him in games where he needs to handle heavy full-court man pressure, enter the ball into the offense, and run the half-court offense in more methodical environments that will mimic close college games (some, not all). He's been in plenty of these over the first 3 years of his prep career playing a national schedule and in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference, but none really playing the point for extended periods. His team will be loaded this year, and they do have a pure PG on the roster, who he will undoubtedly split minutes at the point with, so it will be interesting. Sorry for the long-winded answer... I think the important thing to take away is that he is capable... He is capable of serving, at minimum, as a primary ballhandler who can spare a starting PG when needed, while also serving primarily as a secondary facilitator. Hope I answered that one okay...

mike vannice Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 OK note to self never question a Mike Woodson offer again.

These events are actually pretty tough on the kids They play a bunch of games over several days with nothing really to do in between. Mentally, they’re much better some games than others. TJ Power was the leading scorer at EYBL Session 4 and was arguably as good as anybody there. The kid shot 6-19 yesterday and looked completely toasted.

It was a concern when he was hired, but kids seem to like what he is selling. The new financial opportunity landscape probably helps, but I never thought he would connect the way he seems to be. We don't seem to have much problem getting kids on campus. Once on campus, anything is possible. lillurk, Class of '66 Old Fart and go iu bb 3 Quote
