2025 Recruiting: Hudson Greer

[auror]

I get the sense that Montverde recruited him talking about being the next McNeeley and now he wants to keep it going.

the subscription recruiting sites must hate Cue_the_music at this point, glad he's around to give us the relevant info

This guy doesn’t appear to be a bad shooter.

I don’t think a guy takes and makes these types of high level shots in their offense if he’s a bad shooter. And he’s an athlete.

 

[awy]

a lot of reputed good shooters shot horribly at peach jam, may just be a get used to tougher competition thing. his shooting numbers on a larger sample seems good.

He's just not. Calling him a horrible shooter is just plain incorrect. He will shoot somewhere between 30-40 % from deep, and apparently has throughout his HS career (i think getting stuck on HS stats is a fools game though). Nice release, But he's more of a Detlef Shrempf driver who can hit the 3 than a McNeeley type.

I agree.

I think his shooting has been underrated and athleticism overrated after watching a few games.

I suspect he'll shoot >32% from distance year 1, and I also don't see a particularly gifted all-around athlete. Certainly not a defining attribute like Jackson or Solo. Closer to idk... Ross? Not a bad athlete, I just don't see it being a stand-out at our level.

Wait, 5 days ago you were the one saying he's a "horrible" shooter. So saying he's an underrated shooter now does not compute

Look at both my posts. That was just based on EYBL #s and scouting reports. Before I watched him. I'd call him a better than fine, but less than great shooter right now.

Y'all take my word for gospel way too much. Until I write multiple paragraphs on a kid, I don't know anything first-hand.

 

[FreeKlaiber]

Im not taking your word as gospel at all.

I called out your aggressively bad take at the time, calling him "a horrible shooter."

Might want to quote the post if you want a response bucko.

I don't have access to this whole article, but he's making some noise this summer it seems:

USA Basketball experience sparked more Duke interest for Hudson Greer

A strong spring and summer string of performances plus time spent with Team USA and a transfer to a fertile Duke recruiting ground could lead to more mutual interest for one of high school basketball's elite wing athletes.

[Mr. French]

This is from late May from Zags blog:

Greer is a athletic wing who plays above the rim and heralded for his three-way scoring ability. He has a fast pace to the game, running the floor well and nailing transition jumpers.


He says his style will be a factor during recruitment, and certain schools play into that.


“Just getting up and down [the floor],” he said. “That’s why I really like Arizona, Creighton, and Alabama; that’s why I like them a lot. shoot the three a lot and get downhill and get my guys open.”

Also...

While he prepares for the college game, Greer will also have to get ready for a new level of high school basketball with Kevin Boyle and Montverde Academy.


“Me going to Monteverde, I feel like that was the best thing for me,” he said. “Just hearing the talks about how hard his practices are, how much of an amazing coach he is, and playing his guys in winning positions.”


“For instance, Liam McNeeley with UConn,” he concluded. “I could see myself filling that role for them, being a great shooter and underrated passer.”

From what I'm seeing he's got pretty much everything, but is a horrible shooter. Montverde should tighten that up.

This one?

 

[husky429]

This one?

Yeah and I watched a few games a disagreed with what I read before. Next.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I like his shooting form, that's all I got.

 

[temery]

But UConn has an interest so let's not trash the kid.

Fair enough. I interpreted your choice of the word seeing in the first post as you watching, not reading in regards to his shooting.

It's not that hard dude. Rather than fighting people calling you out, just say "I was wrong" and move on with your life.

 

[awy]

it's legit to note that he did not shoot well, same with Darius Adams. the scouting, physicality and increased athleticism of the competition may seriously impact their game situation shooting and that can indicate an area for improvement. just look at Purdue's good shooters in the championship game. they are not bad shooters, but could be exposed a bit in that situation.

This one?

Silly facts......meaningless on the Boneyard

He's the resident expert on this board, so he's never wrong. Even when he literally takes two sides of an argument

I'm going to assume he ignored me, because now his posts have disappeared for me.

We're all wrong sometimes, myself included for sure. Getting mad at everyone else when you're called out for it seems an odd choice.

UConn: “When I went to USA Camp in April, we watched the Final Four games and I found myself just watching Coach [Danny] Hurley coaching. He’s a fun guy to watch and very energetic on the basketball court. With him, he’s that coach you really want behind your back because you know he’s going to be there for you. I think one of the best things with him is how hard his practices are, from what I’ve seen, and him being a great guy as well.”
