Tarin Smith!

[Stinger92860]

i thought he also deserved his own thread. Very efficient performance, calm approach. 14 points and 6 assists in 30 minutes. What a great pickup. He had a nice baseline jumper off the dribble in the 2nd half. Just what is needed against the cuse zone. We have not had that in a while.

He is super reliable with the ball in his hands, and those reverse layups he was making all night are nearly impossible to guard.

Tarin Smith is a stud

He is a very smooth player. Doesn't look like he is trying that hard. Total difference from Anderson who always looked like he was playing too fast and not letting the game come to him.

I'm already sad we only have one year with him a la Shonn Miller. You knew it the first time you saw them.

But wow, Jalen and Rique will get the headlines, but this kid moves the ball and is fearless. FEARLESS!!! Kid was brought in to change culture and he's helped obviously, but had no idea he could ball like this!!!!

#GUARDU is back!

His mid-range jumper is money. Will open up passes underneath to the bigs when teams realize that he can pull up and hit that shot consistently and have to get out to contest.

Tarin is our glue guy. Efficient, mature, nice mid range game, crafty around the basket. He is a major pick up in the Kromah mold, but may actually do more things well.

best grad transfer we've had since Shonn

Everybody pisses on Grad Transfers, but when you get the right ones....

Shonn, Tarin, Kromah, and heck, even Gibbs, who through no fault of his own, was used wrong.

This kid is an outstanding addition. He is a basketball player. He can pass. He can handle the ball. He can score from all three levels. Most importantly, he is providing an unbelievable example for the rest of the guards to emulate. He will be sorely missed next year, but I am thrilled to have him for this year.

Yeah, I can't imagine any other team has recruited grad transfers as well.

I think this is right on the money. He is the kind of player who can give a team what it needs on any given night. Great pickup.
