What separated McIntosh was his court vision and leadership. Those and plus he played with 4 other D-1 college athletes on his high school team. That does not hurt at all for sure. He saw the floor as well as any player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 What if I told you McIntosh was 2-4 against IU in his career? Not that I'm against taking a kid that would bring serious work ethic and not to proud to sit and work his way into minutes over 2 or 3 years.

He at least got invited by some NBA teams for a look. Since Yogi who have we had. Surround him with talent IU had and he would have been very good player for IU TO answer your question hopefully Lander 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith is special and that's an understatement. I think CAM makes a huge mistake if this guy isn't wearing candy stripes.

Not seen enough to say but I have seen enough of BS to say if we don't offer I feel it will be a huge mistake.

Attitude issues well before his fathers passing, and it’s worse now. Pray he figures it out. I had a good friend who I played sports with. His dad passed away. We must have been sophomores so around 15 as I recall. He punched a kid out in the middle of a game. I was shocked. But another friend and teammate reminded me that his dad had just died a couple of months earlier. I’m not excusing any of it but that’s a very tough thing for a young man to go through and getting angry at the world can be a byproduct.

I remember my sophomore year that our high school team had a player that lost his mother. Where the problem came was in the sectional against New castle and one of the New castle players talked trash about our players mother dying. After that happened it got real chippy and one of our players shoved the guy who was talking when he was going up for a layup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Braden had 30/9/9 last night and Westfield won first conference title ever in 4A. I know why some coaches including IU aren't offering but man this kid can play. I'll be a fan wherever he ends up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Archie was at Dayton this kid would be a priority. He is the type of kid Archie won with and the type that IU is missing in upper classmen. I think some freshman have it but we need more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that he is not Jordy Hulls but playing for the team you WANT to play for is special. Would Jordy have been the same player at another school. Maybe or maybe playing in state at home for a school you LOVE. I know he dreamed of playing for Duke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Has this kid grown any? Still 5'10"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because Syracuse zone/length messed up our short guys (Yogi/Hulls) but I told myself after that game we can no longer have under 6 foot guards....and I battle that thought every time I see a kid like this play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar size it appears. Smith plays against higher level talent than Boyd did in HS. At Iowa, Boyd became a 10 pt, 2 assist guy by his Jr-Sr years, but never shot a high %. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braden is better in all facets of the game including leadership at the same time and like you said against much better competition. Darn it. Now I'm going back to wanting this kid in an IU uniform badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
