Florida transfer Noah Locke

[MDHuskFan]

His body, shiftiness, and breakdown ability is BAdams level. I don't see the quickness needed to break his man down. His athleticism nothing special. His shooting is so-so with a low release point, and his defense not good. He is basically BAdams and Eric Ayala combined into one player.

Compare these point guards to the ones we had under Calhoun and you tell me which one of them you would take over what we had before. None. I would take Jalen Adams over our current group of point guards too.

If you want to edit this, I’ll remind you. He’s not a NJ PG

Yikes, you post so much nonsense.

his 'magic' is a direct function of his outstanding and highly superior bball iq.
his body is more than adequate to accomplish the things his brain tells him to do.
listen closely to coach geno's evaluation for paige as it mostly centers on her unique ability to see things ahead of the rest of us mere mortals.
here's an audio of paigebrain dialogue:
'if they do this, then they'll prolly do that next. i'll just saunter over there, and steal that pass when they do that.'
will rasool continue to be that when he moves up to a faster paced game? idk for certain, but i highly expect it as brains travel very well.

im hearing UNC is making a push...

 

[Huskymagic]

You're talking about the consensus top 50 recruit who was by far the best player in Pennsylvania and was the captain of one of the best high school teams in the country for multiple years right? The one that we beat out Villanova to get? Dear God, get some help.

We did not beat out Nova. They prioritized a 3 star recruit in Brizzi over him despite Sool being iterally in their backyard.

Hopefully, Sool outplays my expectations of him. I don’t see him being what we need at the highest level.

Paige was the number 1 recruit out of high school. That’s a big difference.

Sool is a high IQ player but I don’t see breakdown ability, body is awkward, defense is not the best and his motor is unremarkable.

It's hard to take player analysis seriously from the guy that thinks Polley is Reggie Miller and is the answer to every problem. He is a top 65 player basically everywhere. Does that guarantee anything? Of course not, but I will take their opinion over random message board guy any day.

I’m pretty sure he’s like 12 years old.

So basically, what you're saying is that Sool's motor is like your opinion of him. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I am really not sure what else can explain it, especially in game Chat.

I think it's more than just the numbers. Historically our point guards weren't always the complete player, didn't always have the gaudy numbers but they had something that couldn't be quantified. KEA, Talik, Kemba, Bazz all had it. Their games weren't complete when they came into the program. Sool being a captain of a winning high school program is a piece of the package. Outside of RJ, this program is void of leadership. This is what is going to put us over the edge instead of folding like a cheap suit when RJ leaves the game after hitting his head on the floor.

I trust Dan Hurley in this one. It's not going to be pretty at first but I think the tools are there.

 

[Umami Zen]

Give Sool two years with Coach Mike to work on building his body up and working on his explosion/fast twitch muscles.

Has got the rest of the package that you want in a PG

 

[ChocRaisins]

Just look at the last few years of the players who were MVP of the PCL to see the level of high school conference Diggins has been playing in. Ryan Daly was MVP, Isaiah Wong was MVP, Collin Gillespie was MVP and Diggins was MVP....twice.

Well the good news is to hear this from you I feel much better about his abilities now. He's not even a Jersey guard and you can't find anything good about him, so I'm guessing he's going to make an impact on or program immediately. Thanks for the confidence boost!

Has Locke completed all his Zoom calls? Any idea how his call with UConn went?

Did the staff get him Blaze pizza?

You probably would have given the same scouting report on Shabazz Napier, and added in a shot at his height.

 

[UCDaveD]

Blaze Pizza is HOT TRASH.

But the Blaze Strategy is hot fire.

Seemed like the writing was on the wall here. What we got for backup options?!?!?!

In Locke’s defense, players who transfer want minutes. He’d come here and be a 3-pt specialist, possibly get starter minutes if he can play defense, but he wouldn’t be THE guy.
