Totes magotes, ElectricBoogaloo. I think videos don't do him justice. Everyone that sees him play in person comes away convinced he's ready. I saw him at Forum Tipoff, and compared to the other players, he does really stand out. Much larger overall, built for this. Kind of thicker, more durable looking. And yes, it's weird to talk like this.

I know it's not cool to direct traffic to a competing site, but the video ITH just posted of RP against Zionsville is pretty good. The production quality of the game is better than most high school game, some great slow-mo replays of Phinisee driving.

Man has some guns. Can't imagine what a summer in the weight room will do for him.

Just watched the highlights of the Zionsville game.

Let this young man push the ball up the floor whenever he feels like it. And clear a path, people!

Apparently Phinisee is a good “Phinisher”. Lol!

Patient enough to read the floor in sets, keeps his eyes on the rim when he finishes, textbook vertical jumpshot, 85% from the line, proficient with both hands... Yeah, we’re getting a good one. I’d say his main area of focus as far as his game is concerned is taking a more direct line on his drives.

For those that have seen him in person, how is his floor vision? I can see him reading the defense but there are only a couple clips that show what I would consider to be above-average vision. Does he do that consistently/naturally or is it something he’ll have to learn when he picks up the offense?

So his game isn't all finessey?

In other words, he's opposite of Newkirk :)

From Nick Baumgart: still waiting on stats from final gm, but Robert Phinisee 29.3ppg, 6.8rpg, 5.9 apg, 3.8 spg, shooting 56/37/85 vs 48th toughest SOS in state almost off charts.

Phinisee on the recruiting trail... in Seymour today to get with Romeo & TJD

Get them on board Robert!

ap2345 · March 10, 2018

He is possibly the best recruiter that IU has over the next 4 years.

If it weren't for Romeo, in many other years Robert would be a strong candidate for Mr. Basketball.

On the heels of USPS post immediately above, this from Doyel and the Indy Star from last night's Hoosier Reunion All-Star Classic played at Knightstown. It's not solely about Phinisee but also includes Doyel's conversation with Romeo.
