2016 PG Shamorie Ponds (St. John's Commit)

[McKinney's Neighbor]

In any event, I bet the pumpers will be talking themselves into the JUCO PG that commits to CU in February.

What's this supposed to mean? There are plenty of quality guards in the transfer and JUCO markets. Four year players are a great commodity, but right now we're not hitting on the one's we're interested in.
I'd much rather take a high major player from the transfer or JUCO route who only has two years than a mid major four year guy.

Let them have their day in the sun. We struck out, and here comes the tidal wave. Predictable.

However, when Milliken or Albert blows up in a game, they'll be on here, shining that player's shoes.

Oy!

This article says Ponds and his high school buddy Rasheem Dunn who's balling out at St. Francis, were a package deal and on their way to Creighton. Distance from NYC and family seemed to be the wrench in those plans.

Dunn's line for St. Francis this year, 15ppg - 5.7rpg - 2.3apg - 1.2spg. Not a great 3P% or FG% but having Ponds and a player like Dunn would have been nice.

LMAO. Way to make this season worse, Hilltop

Talent identification was spot on, in this case.

All due respect HTA, never have understood these posts, Russell Westbrook posts, etc. Being "close" in recruiting or in life is kind of sad.

I always assumed we were a distant 3rd, that Providence was ahead of us in the end.
