2020 Recruiting: Denver Anglin at Peach Jam

[ASweet3781]

Is it either or on Anglin vs Starling? Do we take both?

Offers > rankings. His offers speak for themselves.

Exactly. We see it every year where guys play really well in big tournaments or in big HS games against good comp and their rankings aren’t reflective of their play. I mean look no further than some likely all Big East preseason selections this year: Gillespie, Champagnie, Posh, Freemantle etc etc all way outperforming their rankings. Kid really seems like he can play and in the right college system will flourish.

 

[UconnU]

I’m just not sure how he would be used. 5’9 catch and shoot guys aren’t going to have any space in college to get their shot off. Starling is just as good of a shooter but is like 5 inches taller. Can dribble with either hand, can finish at the rim, can pull up from midrange, etc. Love his competitiveness though.

He has to want to come here though. Have no idea if that's the case. Might be where you take the first to commit.

Where are you getting 5’-9” from? 247 has him at 6’-2” which is what they list Starling at.

5'9"? I think you got bad info.

He's probably acutally 5'9 or 5'10. But Starling is probably 6'0, maybe 6'1. They always overestimate these guys heights.

Earlier in the thread or another, 429 or Ricker(both really good with reports) said he looked like he was the size of Boat. Probably where he got it from. No idea how tall kid is. Maybe somewhere in between?

Starling is 2-3 inches taller than Anglin. Anglin is Cole/Bazz-ish sized, maybe slightly smaller.

The truth is Starling has limited D1 transferrable skill other than shooting either. His handle is not good for his size. He is maybe the worst passer we've recruited since Hurley has been here. He literally struggles to move the ball on the perimeter vs decent competition. His finishing has improved, which is one reason why his ranking has skyrocketed recently.

Would I prefer Starling? Yep. But it's a lot closer than rankings (or you) would indicate. Anglin is the better shooter, better ballhandler, better passer. He's not as good at the rim, and is shorter.

He's not 5'9, he gets way up on his jump shot and has a crazy quick release. He'll have zero problem getting his shot off, just like Boat had zero problem getting his shot off.

either plus we still want karaban

Cusefan0307 on emmm.... the bad guys board indicated this today:​

"The Boneyard seems to think they are in good shape. That Stanford offer stood out. Must be a great student too."

Matrim?

 

[Hoophound]

I love Anglin. He will be a scorer wherever he goes. Really talented.

BFieldHusky already gave the thumbs up.

I should know better to read our board 1st. Yup, saw from BFieldHusky. Why do I go there and read their insanity? LOL!!!

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Just wonder what his thought process is with us having a similar type guard in CF, Jr coming in.

They aren't similar players--totally different roles and positions.

What position do you think CF Jr is versus Anglin's (I haven't watched much tape on the latter)?

Anglin is defending 1 and playing as a scoring PG. He may play off-ball some, if we keep recruiting wings that pass well, but he can only defend the 1. CJF is a 2/3 combo.

Gotchya. I have watched the CFJ tape quite a bit and I think he'll be much more of a 2 than a 3.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Those quads are pretty stout.

 

[Ajs120102]

Feels very posh Alexander to me. Not exactly a rankings star but just such great value. Don’t have the same skills but can bring a huge plus to the class

 

[rip7774]

What impressed me the most wasn't his skill set - which is quite developed on both offense and defense. It's his heart.

... in spite of the fact it was obvious the team was going to lose, Anglin continued to play 110% on every play and encouraged his team mates to do so as well. And he did it without scowling, any anger or any negative attributes we sometimes observe from players who put their all into a game knowing it's fruitless.

Thx For sharing!!!! From the 1st vid I saw of him I thought he was similar to Myles Powell, who I wanted badly. Bucket getters and snipers are so underrated by these services if they aren’t playing above the rim or oozing athleticism.

The traits you described about his attitude are so important!!! That’s the Glue to championship programs!!!

I was thinking the exact same thing. Posh was not ranked all that high and I would take him on my team any day of the week

That's funny, those quads are the first thing that jumped out at me too.
