IMO he's a 4 in our system, but his insistence on playing 2/3 could cause issues. With so much turnover and youth on the roster next year, I'm not sure it's the best fit for our situation. I'd love to be wrong though. We are going to tell him whatever he wants to hear but he will be playing the Chuma role when it comes down to it if he does come to AU. He has even talked about AU recruiting him for said position as well. Selling him on the next Chuma. So we are being open and honest with him. A 4 in AU system is not banging down in the post anyways as we gleefully all know. WOOOOOOO!!!!! So he will be on the perimeter so poppa brown CAN CHIIILLLLLLLLL OUT! hahaha. He fits in really well as a uber athletic stretch 4 in BRUUUUUUUCE system. He is perfect for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually ran Jared, Bryce, and Dunbar and JVon and Samir as their backups at 1/2/3 last year. He played the position Danjel has played all season.

THe beauty of CHUUUUUUUUUUUMA he was so versatile and could just easily play the 3 and the 4 and even guard positions 2-4. MAAAANNNN I miss that dude. He was so fun to watch.

Was looking recently because of a discussion on the bunker and realized he had 69 steals last year... BY HIMSELF! That’s more than the top two guys combined this year. He was so much more disruptive than we probably realized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce was def our best defender the previous season but man oh man Chuma took it to another level last year!!!! He absolutely was our best defender! Our very own personal swiss army knife who could do it all! Cannot wait to start watching him in the NBA next season! WOOOOO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I think Bryce had a really tough job with how good guard play was/is in the SEC. The absolute worst teams in the SEC still can scrap out one that can score his ass off. I dont remember well enough to say Bryce was a better defender but he always impressed me w how good he could be with his physical deficiencies for a 2 guard. Chuma was about as smart as any defender on this level but he also was more physically gifted than anyone he matched up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude Chuma could guard 1s as well. I thought Pearl was slightly over hyping his d until I saw him switch on Tennesses point guard in the regular season final last year when we beat UT at home. Expected him to get blown by, but nope, Chuma could actually hang. That's when I knew Bruce's hype of his d was legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwillMac6 20,607 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 ASU mod on 247 said a few days ago that Rutgers is very unlikely and it is down to ASU and AU. He said ASU is probaly leading right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomstick 1,315 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I still have this feeling that the longer this goes, the better it is for us. He announced he was committing soon right after his trip to Rutgers. Until that point, ASU had momentum and Rutgers seemed to pull it all away with the visit. But we've always been lurking and always been a finalist, even without a visit for quite some time. He may not pick us, but I think we have a much better chance now than we did two weeks ago.

Still trying to figure out why ASU is such a big draw for him? Is it a coach? To go all the way out west from NJ, to a conference that is not currently one of the big 3 or 4(ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC), and play seems strange..

That and there being a pretty good campus life in a warm climate might have some allure to a kid who's been living in NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
