Teddy Allen 2017 (Transfer, Wichita State Commit)

[mredle]

Groselle was an Altman recruit. All of the others were at least a threat to shoot the 3. No one there was a 12% 3 point shooter. No one there was a 22% 3 point shooter. Maybe we get there at 32%.

Thanks for playing.

Is this correct? I always understood that Geoff was recruited by Lutz and was one of the 3 freshmen from Texas that he brought to CU after Dana left for Oregon.

True, I stand corrected. That was at the beginning when Mac was just transitioning to his new letitfly offense to match his personnel.

I know the staff wants talent wherever they can find it, no matter the position. Teddy has talent.

Damn lack of reading comprehension skills claims another victim. Let me try to help you out.

The poster said "Sadly, Mac doesn’t recruit anyone who’s (sic) best skill isn’t shooting." I was responding to that, and it applies to those players (argument could be made against Harrell being included, but I'd still say shooting wasn't his "best skill"). I'm not comparing any of them to Allen. I'm responding to the statement.

Good try on the Altman jab. Dead wrong, but good effort!

Patton shot 13% from 3-point range in high school.
Geoffrey Groselle shot 0% from 3-point range in high school.

So, you were literally wrong about every point you tried to make. And you were condescending while doing so. That's something else. Thanks for playing.

Teddy has talent. Teddy also has the ability to rip apart team chemistry, or become so isolated from teammates and sullen that his talent isn't very productive. Maybe Mac thinks he could make it work. Most coaches do. But, if you consider the types of personalities that Huggins has coached over the years, and he couldn't make it work, and you consider Mac's experience at ISU, then I would be really, really surprised if we bit (which of course means squat). I dont' know Teddy. I know there was more to it than didn't get along with the coaches.

Yes we all know he has attitude problems but we don’t know the reason for sure thats why he’s transferring. For all we know he just wants to be closer to home. (Arizona)

seems he was in Huggins' doghouse for not giving 100% on defense. Slow, undersized for not having any shooting ability, but he had a knack for scoring around the basket. I would be more interested if we didn't already have Damien Jefferson, whose player profile sounds quite similar (besides the defensive effort thing).

Headed to Wichita St.

Weird. Gregg had to sign a ton of guys this spring. Zoned in on 4 guys for his final scholly and all declined. Allen got to town 6 hours ago on his first visit. Allen will have 7 others in his class when he is eligible.

i actually think that's a great pickup for greggggg. teddy could do some serious damage in the AAC.
