If Van Leer is as good a shooter as hyped,


I have no doubt the kid can shoot it. But there's a difference between being great at a game of HORSE and great with a D1 defender in your face.

I have no hope for Puryear. Nothing against him personally, I just hate the tweener wing/post players. They aren't big enough to bang in the post and aren't athletic enough to be a wing.


Add to the fact that we have a ton of those types already. Teki/Allen/Gant and hell, J3 is about that type of player.

I'm not as down on these kids as you are. I have watched a few games when they went up against other players going to power conference schools, and they have more than held their own.
VanLeer ran the kid from JC that's going to Indiana out the gym in one of those games. He was clearly the better player.
Just aren't many freshman that will come in and be stars right away. Most of next years improvement is going to come from current player staying, hitting the gym and weight room, or from JUCO transfers.
