ORUTerry Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Will be interested to see him in live D-1 action. No judgements good or bad from me till then. I agree that our enthusiasm should be tempered by the fact that he has not played D-1 basketball yet and that he is a freshman.... but his statistics (and the YouTube viedos) indicate he has ability. And the level of competition he faced in practice at the Patterson School as well as other prep schools was pretty stout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 From the Tulsa World website: ORU basketball: Eagles sign guard By MIKE BROWN World Sports Writer Published: 4/16/2009 1:32 PM The Oral Roberts basketball team played without a true point guard last season. As things stand now, the Golden Eagles will play with two in 2009-10. Hunter McClintock, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound, left-handed guard from Burlington, N.C., signed to play for ORU on Thursday. “I love passing the ball,” McClintock said. “It makes me feel like I’ve scored when somebody else scores after I’ve passed them the ball.” continued....ORU Basketball: Eagles Sign Guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeagleman5 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 TheEagleman loves this signing of a true PG who can pass the ball as well as be an outside threat....with Pearson starting, McClintock can hopefully get some valuable experience as a Freshman off the bench....with Stokes and Rogers at 2-guard and Morrison at the 3 or a swing position...we are really going to be improved in the backcourt this next season....obviously, a lot is going to depend on the maturation of Ford and DBH.....

darrenj Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hopefully they can add one more in the next week or so and i think that would wrap it up for the year. Don't usually hear about transfers until the summer once school is out. There sure are a lot out there right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU GRAD Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I know we have talked about some recruit possibilities in the past but has anyone heard if Deaque Montreal is in the mix? This would put us over the top. Just checking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOLO_Gold Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I know we have talked about some recruit possibilities in the past but has anyone heard if Deaque Montreal is in the mix? This would put us over the top. Just checking I've been following Montreal's recruiting and it seems he's leaning towards UCF, I believe....maybe it is USF. Last I've heard he's making visits to Boise State and Arkansas to make his final decision. Would have been a good one to snatch up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakeflip1 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I think I got a lil carried away with the whole stats thing. His stats looked great minus the FT shooting, but its hard to tell weather stats can tell the whole story on a kid who plays on a mediocre NJCAA team. I could be wrong but maybe the offer was made to him as a "Plan B" in case Hunter didn't sign. I just feel like we have enough PG's. On the other hand, you really can't have to many pg's. Maybe coach plans on putting hunter at the 2 and they want another seasoned backup for Pearson and Holdmen. The only stats I could really find on him were in the 5 game season tourney and some general stats on the NJCAA website.

Dr. Cornelius Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I know the popular adage is "take the best player" but with Pearson and Hunter would we be off looking for a wing/forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU GRAD Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I would be happy to add one big and this point guard. Let Hunter play the two and then we have a great back up for the point with some experience. That gives us two at each position with one combo guard to help in the backcourt. That is my take. This year will be very interesting to say the least. A 6'8" power forward would be great and especially if he is a juco with some experience.

OKC Eagle Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hunter averaged 11.2 points shooting 58% from 3. That tells me he is very good at selecting shots (which will be a new concept for us). Obviously he had a great supporting cast at Patterson and did not need to shoot much. Let's hope the average does not come down too much if he is needed to shoot a little more. Welcome to ORU, Hunter. You picked one of the most exciting times in ORU history to come and it is THE place to be right now for more reasons than just basketball.
