He got North MVP. Dominating performance. He was also 2 of 8 from the free throw line, so he should fit in well at Auburn. j/k lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,402 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I attended a game that Wiley played ... He nailed the vast majority of his FT's ... The opponent basically did a hack-a-shac on him and he was something like 13/15 at the line, or so it seemed. I hope this is an aberration and not the game I watched.

That's what I noted in the UL17 play....but if he brings rebounding and shot blocking to Auburn....I'm good with the FT issues for a while.

I have seen him play on TV a couple of times, once with Spain Park and once with the USA team and he was perfect from the line both games. Granted it was only 4-6 FTs, but he looked comfortable shooting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,066 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I hope we have enough sense to be all over that khalil Johnson guy who plays for Cleveland Alabama. I really really do.

Just triple checked. Not a name I heard of for the 2017 class from AU's perspective. We have 2 committed now in Wiley & Mitchell The staff would like to have 4 total and the class mostly done before the November signing period. They are looking at signing a shooting guard & a forward for the last 2 spots. For the shooter they want & feel they will get 1 of 4* Herb Jones of Moundville, AL (6'7, 183) or 4* Efias Harden from Atlanta (6'4, 170). For the big they are going after & feel like they will land 1 of 4* Chuma Okeke of Fairburn, Ga (6'7, 225), 4* Alex Reese of Pelham (6'9, 225), 4* Rayshaun Hammonds of Norcross, Ga (6'7, 190), or 4* Garrison Brooks of Auburn (6'9, 215). Apparently Brooks has had a great Summer so far. I think the staff is most confident about Harden & Okeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,066 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 That khalil Johnson kid had like 8 assists the North/South game. Very nice outside shot. If he can handle the ball you have a perfect back court mate to pair with our smaller guards. You put him up there at Syracuse I bet Boheim can make him an NBA pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,066 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 From everything I read it seems like Jones is a bammer lean? After watching film on both KJ looks to have a better handle, more shooting range and a better defender than HJ. But of course I don't know the variables between the two films such as opponent strength or whatnot. But he's probably not on our radar, and that's a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80Tiger 899 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 2 trains of thought on the transfer to me. 1. He is going to get his grades in order to be able to get in next year, OR he is trying to upgrade the talent he faces to be one and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain kids going to play. Everybody knew my cousin was paying D1 since he was in 7th grade. But the different schools and curriculums and all that, bout time you hunt down all the credits if some class wasn't up to par it's too late to make it up and you thought you were good because you made a B in the class two years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,402 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The portion of the quote that I found interesting was the comment something to the effect of him not being developed at Spain park ... I don't know if that was a shot at the coach or Bham competition ... Although Spain park did play some out of town folks/tourneys where they were beaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Listening to radio yesterday, I think it was more of a shot to talent on his team at SP. They were talking about how there was not a lot of talent on his team and all the other teams SP played this year would end up just triple teaming him without worry of the other guys.

Although Spain park did play some out of town folks/tourneys where they were beaten I think it is a shot at the coach, and an accurate one at that. The coach they let go last year is/was way better at developing players. He just had bad luck in that 2 of the 4 games they lost that year, Wiley was out with an illness. One of those happened to be in the area finals. The old coach took Muscle Shoals to the state championship game this year after they only won 10 or so games the previous year. The Wiley's were very upset when the coach was let go. He'd still be at SP if the coach was there. Neal Barker is the old coach currently coaching at Muscle Shoals.
