Bailey7878 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Forgetting Damezi Anderson...he's going to have a huge impact for us next year. He's a player that can create his own shot, score with ease, and a great shooter. We lack each one of those with this team right now. He's gonna be an immediate impact guy and if he's playing along side Romeo with Phinisee running the show. We're gonna have one of the best backcourts in the B1G.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appWell then his ranking is off because usually guys ranked where he is aren't instant impact players. He should be ranked top 50 if what you say is true.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Quote

He is a shooter. Rankings mean NOTHING taco corp, HooHooHoo22, Hoosierfan2017 and 1 other 4 Quote
mamasa Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Columbus East at New Albany tonight. I think we’re gonna see Romeo just raise hell this last part of the seasonEast is an odd team. I’ve seen them play so well, and play like Boys Club C-team. No real leader other than Drew Johnson but he can be as much as a liability as an asset.

Hoosier Guy Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 It baffles me when people say rankings don’t matter. You’ve got to be able to recruit high level players to win at a high level Iugradman, Doctor Jones and Never Daunted 3 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appThat's more of what I mean. I shouldn't have said they mean nothing, but they are just numbers. Nobody knows how they will perform at the next level. Stupid to say this guy is ranked below 50, so he won't be of immediate impact. Quote

Especially since we are kind of depending on Phinisee to make an impact. Trey Burke is my favorite example of this btw akinnaird24 and cljones1979 2 Quote
Hoosier Guy Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Phinisee is a top player. Rankings don’t show it. But he’s playing like an All-American and that’s all that matters Quote

You’ve got to be able to recruit high level players to win at a high level You do. But that has nothing to do with an individual player out performing his "ranking". Kelan Martin was ranked 140th Shelvin Mack was 290th Kamar Baldwin ranked 155 Morgan, OG. All 4 ranked lower than Anderson and all had definite impacts as FR. Don't tell me about OG and Morgans avgs as FR.. they were big time impactful. Anderson can be either of those impact wise, it'd be huge. BGleas 1 Quote

Every one of those guys will make an impact. I trust in Archie as a coach to get the best out of them. Those kids are winners too. They know what it takes. I’m completely comfortable with those guys contributing next season Quote

Rankings mean NOTHINGNo but this delusion that these freshmen are going to have this instant impact gets played out every recruiting class. It rarely pans out except for the top 20 guys.

The freshman will have to make an instant impact. Phinisee and Hunter will probably start most games. Rankings usually have ~ the top 15 guys that you know will come in and change the dynamic of a team, but after that, it's a guessing game. I guess I just think Damezi has a chance to be an instant contributor because he can shoot and the current team doesn't have many guys who can. Iugradman 1 Quote
akinnaird24 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Romeo on the other hand, let him come lead this team from the start. I can picture Phinisee throwing dimes to Romeo already. Quote
CR3AMnCR1MS0N Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 I guess my grandpa is at Romeo's game today and said he's scored 16 in the span of 3 minutes. CSP 1 Quote
