Subject: Yo '06-- Sammet's team mate, Junior Russll
In reply to: SCU06 's message, "Sammet" on 00:26:50 12/24/04 Fri

What's your take on this kid? The descriptions in the Merc and S. Cruz Sentinel make him out as a pretty explosive playmaker/scorer, despite being undersized. Do you think he has D1 skills? I posited this on Prep West and am curious. Help at the point is always welcome, especially looking at next year, when only Angley will be there.

Great playmaker at the high school level but he looks better than he really is because of the talent surrounding him. Also SC has not really played anyone with a great pg, yeah they played Serra but Chaz Thomas did not play because of an illness, a great matchup would be Shiller vs Russell, have to wait for CCS championships though. If we wanted a bay area point guard who can step in right away then we should be looking at Chaz Thomas (best shooter in nor cal according to Nor Cal Preps and great playmaker but often shys away from contact) from Serra HS or Trae Clark from Newark Memioral HS (more of a real pg than Thomas, slasher, great passer and can shoot it from 3 but no mid range game.

Why did we not get involved in the Drew Shiller sweepstakes, he could step right in and be a stud? I think we need to do a better job or recuriting kids in our own backyard.

Some other names from Nor Cal include Chris Blackwood from Campolindo, Hiram Thompsom from Oak Ridge, and Joe Everly from San Marin all pgs who rank in the top 10 in Nor Cal and project to play college ball.

Definately not a D1 player, good hs player, team plays in a weak league and he is the only one who can play at Peidmot so his stats are inflated. On rivals it has Santa Clara looking at 4 pgs. Two 2 star prospects and 2 that don't have any stars.

Listened to the archieved "DD Show"; while being appropriately cryptic (per NCAA rules), Davey said they recruited another guard and were looking at trying to get a Juco guard who can step in. I know they were looking at HS senior Omar Leary from Oregon (I think.)
Calvin Johnson is supposed to be talented and expected to contribute early, but replacing Bailey and KB will put a lot of pressure on the backourt. Hopefully Johnson, Angley, and Rohe can get some help and step up. A little added weight and agressiveness from Denison would help too.

Leary is a 2 star listed prospect and he is 5-10 155. He has USD, Bosie St and us listed in his top 3 but so far no one has offered him.

From a rather reliable source, I understand that SCU simply stopped recruiting Shiller. No idea why.

What the hell was the staff thinking? We need a pg next year.

JUNIOR RUSSELL is a great high school point guard who cannot shoot and will over penetrate versus other good players. He looks great against under skilled kids in the Santa cruz league, but cannot dominate guys who can actually play and handle the basketball like at the Division Level. No one would guard him in college and he would be a constant penetrater looking to pass all the time (think, way smaller Jason Gaines from USF)
