This kid is excited to be coming to IU. Putting on weight, working on his game. Says he might play some 4... good interview, nice to see a kid with so much enthusiasm. 

 

 

 

It's also on ITH.

I watched the Inside The Hall interview of Max yesterday. He comes off cocky as hell and I love it. Reminds me a little bit of Will in that sense.

That's exactly type of guy I want him to be for this team. The white guy who ticks every non-IU fan off.

 

I really want to see a Shee-Wat combo. Sheehey's attitude with Watford's ability to play the 4 and still shoot lights out.

Maybe I tend to pull for the underdogs too much, but this is the kid I want to see blow up. <br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Same here. I think his attitude can take him a long way. Seems like he's willing to get better.

I see lots of trailing threes in his future (tea leaves with some coffee grounds mixed in)

Anyone know how to say Max's last name correctly?  Like the Phonetics of Hoetzel ?

Max Pretzel
Max Hot-Sail

Max Gazelle
just joking...

[ElectricBoogaloo 4,307]

He looks like Gigantor Bieber.

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

He looks like Gigantor Bieber.

So, we start calling him the "Big Bieb" then?

[Hutch89 2,939]

haha, that would mean he would transfer asap.  can't slander his name with biebs lol

I just checked that vid out. It's the same interview that was on Indy Star for anyone who doesn't have access there.

I loved his attitude in the interview. I liked how he's already warned RoJo that the 3pt contest will be won by himself. Talking some trash and he hasn't even got to Btown yet. Love it.

If you haven't yet, go check out his twitter. His bio reads "6'8 with a flamethrower". Not sure what that means, but I read it as "I'm about to get a lot of buckets for the glory of old IU".

6'8" with the ability to get hot while shooting. You have to shoot a flamethrower.

California attitude for sure. He seems really confident and we all could use some of that right now. I want guys who say "I will be on the floor because..." in an interview. Let the big dog eat. 

[RoadToZion 373]

Yup. We need a prick on our team and I hope he fills that role nicely. I'm saying that genuinely too. Every team needs someone on their team like that. I just hope he's good enough to get time on the floor.

I want this dude to come in and be cockiest man on the court.

[BlueDevil 8,687]

Cockiness also leads to competition in practice. No spot is guaranteed on next years squad based on this past year.

I was at the night of future stars thing tonight watching him and RJ. Max shot it very well in the 3pt shoot out, and RJ looked good too. However... No way he's 6'8". He looked noticeably smaller when standing next to the 6'9" & 6'10" kids. They listed him at 6'7" at this event and I'd say that's close, but he might be as small as 6'6" and a half. Just my guess.

[CampHoosier 3,697]

Some places measure with shoes on, some off. So every kid has an inaccurate height.
