theeagleman5 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Word looks like a seriously good shooter...TheEagleman assumes that he is a two guard......how many points did he average last season?........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Wood looks like a good shooter. His shooting form is a bit unorthodox - he falls forward instead of going straight up. As long as it goes in the hoop I guess it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 TheEagleman also thought that his shooting motion is a bit unusual....not sure it will work in D-1 ball where there are quicker and taller defenders who can block that type of shot.......maybe we will see first hand at Mabee Center next year?....

Old Titan Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Couple of things I like about this guy: • long arms • good mechanics on the shot (the lunging-forward-for-distance thing is nothing a little work in the weight room won't fix) • he's a November freshman signee from Texas - when was the last time we had one of those?

ORUTerry Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I agree that his shooting form looks good; maybe the lunging forward thing could attract fouls. I also like that he has some size and is a Texas recruit that signed early. That means one less recruit we have to 'sweat' about. We lose Niles and DBH next year - so we have a replacement for Warren. Now we just need a big guy to take the place of Bell-Holter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLO_Gold Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Excited about this kid. Maybe the coaches are anticipating a nice inside/out game with Kaufman and Word. He has a pretty slow release, but like OT alluded to, there's a lot to be said for player development. Glad he's on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeagleman5 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 This team is starting to take shape for 2013-14......the DoMo-Craion-DBH-Niles era is just about over......with 0 NCAA appearances to show for it.......time to ramp it up.....
