That article talks about him having to sit out a year due to the transfer. Maybe he transferred twice in one season or something and that is the reason. I dunno but the article definitely says his sitting out for a year was due to transferhttps://auburn.rivals.com/news/powell-update-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second commitment in a week from a kid that’s missed a whole season of playing This one is different as he is back playing after his injury and does not look any worse for the time off. So I expect him to get better before we get him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,367 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Appears to be a great shooter ... I’ll trust u guys about having room to improve his technique. I have no knowledgeable basis regarding watching film but he was quicker than I expected. Seemed comfortable dribbling on film, was a lot longer than I assumed him to be. This may sound horrible but I’ll say it anyway ... I wasn’t expecting him to be that athletic ... I must assumed he wouldn’t be because he was a skinny white kid ... consider me impressed. ive said this before ... id love a mix of multi year “3 star” type kids with high upside all the way through the 1 or 2 year super stars we are just now looking to get. man, this is fun.

Will need to work on his release maybe. He seems to have a little play making to him. Pretty much Bryce Brown but he may shoot it a little better and could possibly have a better handle. He’s probably the first domino, it’s definitely nice to have a Tyler Herro type. We had great volume 3 pt shooters, but it’d be nice to have some more consistency going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it matters in Alabama why you move. But you better damn well actually live at the address you give.

Gene Loblaw 636 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 seems like that article is a bit misleading. It tries to imply that he was the 51st overall ranked player in the class, but he's actually the 51st ranked shooting guard in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if anybody else is comparing him to Brown but that's what I see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to his ranking history on 247, he was ranked 51st overall in early 2018 by 247 while the composite had him in the low 100s. Now they have him 171 and 229, respectively.

Herro was more actually like our guys you described he was pretty streaky. I do understand your point though and I agree with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a gym rat, lunch pail guy, with a high motor, who is heady and has a high basketball IQ, with intangibles and plays the game the right way. He also has deceptive speed, is sneaky athletic, and a grinder. He gets the most out of his abilities, has a lot of heart and is the kind of guy you want your daughter to date.
