Landers Nolley officially visiting 9/29

[UConnStats]

FWIW, Nolley has grown to 6'7 and will be a SF, so this doesn't have anything to do with Mathis. He's a sniper too. #72 on ESPN.



We haven't heard much about Ricky Moore this summer, but I'm sure he's a huge reason why we got this OV.

 

[GotNets?]

It'd be great to find another hidden gem wing like Lamb from GA. I watched a little tape on him, plus saw some numbers, and he looks like he could have what it takes... I'd be surprised if he didn't know Lamb's story.

 

[UConnStats]

Mucius is a better athlete, and upside is why he's ranked so highly, but statistically Nolley has been much better in the EYBL. Helps when you shoot 50% from 3 in Nike and Adidas play over the summer.

Nolley played for Nike South Beach, who at one point gave us Zach Brown. It also means he was teammates with my guy Michael Devoe, who will likely give us an OV too.

Only watched the first half can shoot it I guess. But man nothing going on the other end to speak of, no D and no crashing boards, had one opportunity to box out and didn't bother just left. It's not an AAU game and it seems to be a huge local rivalry yet I'm concerned with effort. Only one game I know but wow, give me something on D.

 

[Kembacity]

if only his name was Kevin Nolley, that would be funnier than us having two mama diarras

 

[upstater]

He is either 6'4" or 6'7".

Mau?

Wow, some impressive scoring/3pt numbers from the Adidas Championships

Not only shot 56% from 3, but A:TO ratio was over 1, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game, 75% free throw shooting.

Compare Terry Larrier's college numbers: 27% from 3, A:TO 0.6, 3.2 rebounds, 0.5 steals, 70% free throw shooting.

This guy has a really nice shot. Smooth, effortless. His hands are so integral to his shot.

 

[husky429]

Watched the whole video--why, I don't know.

Looked to me like he had 15 points and 3 assists, but who knows what else they cut out.

He has a SWEET looking shot, I understand why he did so well in AAU this summer. He made 3 3's in the first quarter, I believe, and the other team really had to adjust to that.

Nice enough handle against inferior competition of course. Decent passing.

Definitely closer to 6'6 or 6'7 than 6'4 or 6'5. He's built a lot like the SF's we've been recruiting.

I'd definitely take him. Hard to say no to 6'7 shooters.

He looked really, really lost on defense though. Slow and wasn't anticipating well, and this is a highlight video! It might be a conditioning thing, because I can't imagine the kid wasn't trying hard in that gym. Place was packed and crazy.

 

[Fishy]

Don't give a F about his defense.

He can score. They can work on the details later.

Just like with Vance!

 

[JSM1970]

Quicker, much better handle shooting stroke than VJ

Just like with Vance!

 

[Burnsbros23]

Love this kid. He played his Sophomore year in Chicago was 6'4 could shoot but was inconsistent. He's grown to at least 6'6 now and has improved a lot. Love that we're in on him. And he was not bad defensively as a sophomore.

Like that we're targeting kids maybe slightly under the radar from the blue bloods. I love this kid. Mathis looks Legit. Carey looks Legit. We're going to need Carlton to be decent or some bigs.

You coach in the Chicago area?

 

[Burnsbros23]

You coach in the Chicago area?

Yeah AAU in that area.

 

[Fishy]

Wait a second, was my great joke about what if his name was Kevin Nolley deleted?

Was that considered bullying? this place is astounding...

I'm guessing someone get the joke.

 

[Kmba2Rmemba]

Yeah AAU in that area.

Glad to know we've got a direct AAU source on this board. Love your inputs on these recruits, so keep the good intel coming

 

[kansashusky]

I've seen both him and IM play. Would much prefer Landers. Better skillset, and plays way harder.

Lock up Carrigan and Nolley in September, hopefully Mathis tomorrow, with another solid player down the line, and you're looking at a very strong class.

Also want Carey

Just like with Vance!

But what's his father like? These are the real important questions....
