Illini Zip Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I see similarities to Tyler Cheese's game. https://twitter.com/MICHAEL_WYNN2/status/1257383041841930240 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 One of Groce's many metaphors or Grocisms is "Steel sharpens Steel". Who knows how it will translate on game day, but this roster is loaded with talent top to bottom. Granted some players are still early in their development, but there are the makings for some crazy good battles in practice. Go Zips!!!

Zipmeister Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I'm thinking his one game suspension to start off 2020 convinced him his dwindling minutes weren't likely to increase if he stayed put. Hope things work out for him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I'd say he speaks English. He would quickly become academically ineligible if he didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams like Concord, South Carolina Upstate and Southern are more like Silly Putty than steel. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 It will be interesting to see just how challenging an OOC schedule Groce puts together for this years team. When does the OOC schedule get released usually? Obviously, the virus has messed everything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you spoken to him? Your second sentence is exactly why I asked the question. The good news is that all is not lost if a player does not speak English. There are way too many cases where an individual's skill set was pretty much limited to basketball and a tenuous grasp of the English language.(my favorite was the guy who disclosed that he could not read after graduating from Creighton). And yet academic advisors were able to find enough basket-weaving classes to keep these individuals eligible for four years. But, the advisor's task would be more complicated if the player does not speak English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was more so getting at is I can't imagine Groce would recruit someone that would have little to no chance of staying academically eligible.

Illini Zip Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 It's slow so I thought I would share a highlight video I just found of Maishe Dailey as a high school senior. His time at Iowa was not very productive. Not exactly sure why. He does have a slender build for being 6'-7" and might have had trouble with the physical play of the Big Ten. As mentioned on this board before, Maishe actually played some point guard for Iowa. I think he could play positions 1-4 for us, even play point-forward. Yes, there is such a thing where with LCJ on the court Maishe could bring the ball up the court and initiate the offense himself. I am thinking he is likely to pick up for X at the wing and Ali will back him up (Damn, I liked X. Cool guy, great player). https://www.hudl.com/video/3/3482320/5721dcfdc124573b548627dc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Maishe play free and run & gun and I'll bet he has a really good year for us. He was one of the best players in NEO his senior season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe bigjim's point was that Wynn's production at WF was anemic. I don't see where bigjim said you couldn't decide for yourself what good news is to you.

clarkwgriswold Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'll take very ACC and Big 10 "failure" the Zips can get. If you can get recruited into one of those schools, the reality is that you are well above the curve of the average MAC talent. Keep them coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get recruited into one of those schools, the reality is that you are well above the curve of the average MAC talent. Keep them coming. Good news. We can replace all the guards on the Zips roster with the 9 ACC/BIG guards still not showing a target school on the transfer portal. Unfortunately there are no centers available from the ACC/BIG and only 2 forwards. Interestingly, they show Wynn leaving WF, but don't as yet show Wynn going to the Zips.

He has better distributing vision than Cheese, but definitely has Tyler's aggressiveness and quick shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) His form certainly reminds me of Tyler. I hope he's got half Tyler's game. Apparently he originally committed to ECU. Rivals^^ had him ranked as a 3-star SG prospect with offers from ECU, Siena, Florida Atlantic, James Madison, Southern Miss, Southeastern Louisiana, UMass, Charlotte, and Southern Utah.
