2025 McDonald's AA Day 1 Recap
- Thread starter aboogieee
- Start date
Like the way Adams moves and Braylon and Adam’s look like they shoot it well. Reibe looks like he’s not as advanced but you can never tell by videos like these. I’ve thought this before by videos and for all I know, Reibe comes in and is the most successful one of the three.

Mullins looks different than I remember.

Not great comments about our guys. I kind of expect that. None of the 3 are definite one and done guys and all 3 need to get stronger.

The 5 star plus thing is dumb. That being said, this class is loaded at the top, so many big time players.Not great comments about our guys. I kind of expect that. None of the 3 are definite one and done guys and all 3 need to get stronger.

In line with what we have heard. Reibe a bit slow but creative. Adams a shooter but struggles to get his own due to body and not being super quick. Mullins probably just had a bad day, he is the real deal.Not great comments about our guys. I kind of expect that. None of the 3 are definite one and done guys and all 3 need to get stronger.

He is our new brand ambassador. Man he is big, he makes Mullins look like a Jr High School kid.

Our guys seem like the type to be good within our system but not as effective in a scrimmage with no plays or structure where one on one stuff is king. We need guys in the portal who can be good in this type of setting so when things break down at the end of the shot clock we have a couple guys who can get a bucket.

Adams talking about playing the 1 and the 2, that's good stuff.
Honestly, I remember when Castle was a MAA....He was sort of overshadowed in the non-structure stuff by guys like DJ Wagner, but once the structure came into play in college, he shined. I expect much of the same for our 4 guys. Not comparing any of them to Castle, but I suspect they will play very well within Hurley's system.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but we are getting four high BB IQ but limited athletically into a program that needs a heavy dose of athleticism. I mean everyone see this right. We need two not one score off the dribble players. I see everyone of these recruits seem to be anything but that.
So it makes sense that we would want our best athletic players staying then picking a few up in the portal. You cannot have enough guards that have the ability to get to the hoop and really I don’t care if they are 6’5” I just want them to be able to finish occasionally. 6’3” or bigger would be a bonus as long as they are fast/quick.

We need athleticism and quickness BAD. The staff knows this though. They know the roster wasn’t constructed correctly this season.

I don’t know what to think about this group to be honest and these reports aren’t the best, but it’s free flowing practice.
Mullins looks like an A+ shooter but I’m not sure what else he brings to the table. McNeeley was great last season in large part because he can do a little bit of everything. So even if his 3 was falling he could still find other ways to score and was solid defensively.
For Mullins if there’s stretches where his 3 isn’t falling what will he be able to provide?
Adams being slender and possibly asked to play the 1 doesn’t bode well IMO for instant impact his first year. Even though I like his game the best and he played well in this scrimmage. I’m just unsure how his high volume game and shot selection will fit on next years team as a freshman off the bench.
Reibe seems like he needs to get stronger. I wonder if next year is a year Singare may be ready to get playing time just in case.

Castle didn’t stand out scoring wise because that’s not his game, but the talent, passing ability, and decision making was evident.
Don't disagree, but we got 4 amazing recruits. I think there was a focus on kids with "great families" "high bball IQ" - and somehow that translated into slower players lol. Ultimately, you want the best combo like AJax or Castle.

The biggest “fish out of water” McDs game I ever saw from one of our guys was Rip Hamilton. Was maybe 2-8 shooting, looked frail, fell down a lot, and at one point stuffed himself on the rim when trying to dunk.
You know about the nattie 3 years later, and we aren’t that patient these days, but as a freshman midway through the year, he had to play point guard vs. No. 1 Kansas after Ricky Moore was suspended and had 24 points and 8 assists.
I stopped caring about the all star game circuit sometime around then.
