We could've rolled Xavier by 40 with LJ, PW and Ike leading us with career-highs in points
Let's save that for the BET.
We calmly grabbed our free beers and sauntered out. To add to the fun, we made T shirts that read "thanks for the memories... of kicking your AS#!" on the back along with a picture of a hand crushing an orange which we calmly unveiled in the final few minutes so the thousands of Cuse fans sitting behind us could enjoy. May have been the perfect day.--DaymondMyles
Love it...really like the class of 2015 as a follow-up to the class of 2014. 8 contributors with most expected to be around for 3-4 years. Great job staff!
I just watched a decent amount of the Carlisle - La Lumiere game (to see decent competition), and here's what I saw (granted, from one game sample set):
- Kaleb seems to be the MVP of the team, and plays a point forward role that includes bringing the ball up many times - He's a fairly good slasher, who likes to do a spin move toward the basket - He's a good not great finisher, and this is without any big post defender. Will definitely have to gain strength to get better here - I like his ballhandling ability and he seemed like a fairly good passer - Kaleb did make some outside shots, but seems much more comfortable driving to the hoop
Again, I'm saying this from watching one game, but I thought there's definitely potential here to contribute in spot minutes as a freshman, and more significantly thereafter.
What he brings:Johnson brings great size and versatility to the wing position. He is a matchup nightmare for smaller wing players. He is a finisher on the break and knocks down mid-range pull-ups, runners and floaters with excellent touch and body control.
He can handle the ball and not only make plays for himself, but can set the table and deliver the ball to open teammates as he attacks the defense and creates help situations with his ability to facilitate. Johnson will also be an asset on defense because he can be depended upon to guard multiple positions.
Rankin says he reminds him of a young Lamar Odom because of his versatility, Sounds good to me..

For those who have seen him...am I correct that he is somewhat like LJ in that he is an athletic slasher with a good handle? (Understand he is not as highly rated a recruit at this point in his career)
