Solid post Ceharv. I’ll add some analysis.
Centers are very interesting as they all bring something different to the Bonnies.
— Noah, it is probably time to accept he is not playing with the Bonnies. GoBonnies never announced an official signing.
— Anquan is a slender athletic big man. By far Anquan has the most upside of the bigs. Here is an incredible stat to show his exciting upside. First 13 games at FDU, Anquan averaged 3.3 ppg. Last 13 games he averaged 12.2 ppg. With his upside, Anquan is my choice as starting center.
— Chad at 6’10 and 280 pounds is Schmidt’s heaviest center. Amadi is small in comparison at 250 pounds. Chad is very productive when he is on the court. For 40 minutes Chad led the team in scoring and was 2nd in rebounds. Is conditioning the reason why Chad played just 13.8 minutes per game for a bad Morgan State team? Morgan State NET is 300. Of the incoming big men, Chad had the most blocks at 27, which is impressive considering his limited playing time (barely plays a third of a game). Chad's blocks indicates he is a good athlete at 280 pounds.
— Max played a total of 21 minutes in 2 years at Pitt. As a freshman he was a backup center to Karim. Despite his minimal stats at Pitt, Max is a strong and very athletic big man. He received 3 P-6 offers. There are many P-6 recruits, who sat the bench and then transferred and saw their PT and stats improve significantly.
Forwards are few in numbers.
— Yann is Schmidt’s recruit who had by far the most P-6 offers. Jamie Shaw named Yann the top defensive player of Flyin’ to the Hoop Top Gun Showcase. This tournament had several high rated recruits. Adam Zagoria said Yann improved his 3 point shot to NBA range. He shot a very impressive 65% from the field. Has a very impressive build for a freshman. Have to figure Yann will be a starter.
— Barry at 17 ppg is the 2nd leading scorer for Putnam the #1 prep school. Kyle and Osun averaged 10 ppg and were the tied as the 3rd leading scorers for Putnam. Something I was surprised to discover about Barry was his impressive 3 point shooting as a junior in high school. He made 40% of his 3 pointers. 3 point shot is a significant part of his game as 24% of his shots were behind the arc. Barry is thin and athletic.
— Justin is my choice as top returning player. I think he is being over looked. Justin improved the most of any player I saw during practices. At the beginning Justin rarely scored. Just prior to start of the season, Justin would have practices where he was one of the leading scorer for the reserves. For the reserves in half court sets, Justin by far had the most highlight drives to the basket. Of the 3 returning players, Justin was the best at creating his own shot. Justin would have practices where his shot looked good and then have practices where he struggled with his shot. The good news is Justin has been putting in the time to improve his shot. Of the players I’ve seen this year, by far Justin has been working out the most in the Reilly Center. His shot looks significantly improved.
Guards, there are 3 quality guards.
— Daryl is my way too early choice as leading scorer for the Bonnies. Only incoming player who led his team in scoring. Incredible NCAA tournament, highlighted by his 27 points in eliminating Kentucky is very impressive.
— Moses stats and film, reminds me of Jaren Holmes. A strong shooting guard, who likes taking it to the basket. Free throw attempts is a great indicator of a guard's effectiveness in taking ball to the basket. Jaren led the Bonnies with 4.4 free throws a game. Moses averaged 4.1 per game. Moses 36.1% 3 point shooting is significantly better than Jaren’s.
— Kyrell as a freshman was the 2nd leading scorer for Holy Cross at 13.0 ppg. Like Anquan, Kyrell has impressive upside. He really picked it up in the 2nd half of his season. Kyrell averaged 17.1 ppg in his last 13 games. I don't think backup PG is a concern with Daryl and Moses both being listed as combo guards when they were being recruited out of high school.
