DooleyBull06 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Slight digression but we need to be more assertive recruiting our own state. I know downstate will be hard but we gotta keep local Buffalo and Rochester talent. I really get irked seeing kids from Rochester perform well at other MAC schools. Time to establish local pipelines. Williams and Blocker are great examples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Had a pretty brutal year for a poor Rice team. Could hardly get on the floor. I've been the biggest advocate for local recruiting, but I'm not sure he's of the quality we're seeking to get back to the level we all want. Maybe someone knows more about the details of his season?

Coach at Rice didn't play freshman even in mop up time mostly due to Covid super senior returnees. At the end of the year NH elected to have surgery on a nagging injury. At IMG he was the starting PG and exhibited lock down defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouting report out of high school was tough defender. We need that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the year NH elected to have surgery on a nagging injury. At IMG he was the starting PG and exhibited lock down defense. Thanks for the perspective. What was the nagging injury? I suppose with how many scholarships we have open and the fact that you can never have enough ball-handling guards, he could find a spot here. My comment stands about needing to keep the quality of recruits up. We had the top end talent to make it happen this year, but not the depth. Granted there are always under the radar gems, but we should be chasing guys at the level of Ceaser to Rondo and above. We've seen plenty of impact freshman in the MAC in recent years, so Hutchins' failure to make his mark at Rice does give me pause that he would be an impact player here. I found a couple comments on their board https://csnbbs.com/thread-914714-page-11.html Quote Hutchins does, in the end, enter the portal. Means we have one scholarship left. Absolutely needs, and I mean needs, to be spent on an attacking/slashing/scoring guard. Sucks that Hutchins didn't pan out. Was a very unconventional, but welcome, Pera guard recruit. One of only a couple guys in the past few years that came out of HS with the reputation of attacker rather than shooter. Hope he gets healthy, finds his quickness again, and finds a good program. Quote Why not a point guard? I don’t know the playing style of Mason and that Chicago guard, but if they are slashers, then I think we are good in that regard. You were always higher on Hutchins than I was. I never saw that potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah Hutchins- EXTREMELY cocky and arrogant because he was a big deal in high school. Can play defense but can’t score efficiently at all. Especially not at the college level.

His timeline seems strange to me though. De-commit from a school across the country. Join a school on the other side of the state. Transfer to the home town team. What does this contraction say to pro teams, as he goes into his final tuneup? Personally I’d be looking for players who continue to expand. Not just their abilities, but also their comfort levels.
