Very good look for the staff.. This news jumps Brown to the top of my want list.. I agree...toughness and defense. Two important qualities to add to the other skilled offensive players we have.

From Scout, when asking their recruiting experts about most fun players to watch this summer: Brian Snow — For me it was Bruce Brown. Brown put a solid, but not elite, BABC squad on his back all summer and really played well. What makes Brown so much fun to watch is his non-stop motor and the incredible toughness that he brings to the floor every single time. Brown isn't a great shooter but knows how to score and, while he isn't a point guard, he makes others better. Overall he is just great to watch, and is the type of kid who helps a college team accumulate a lot of wins. www.scout.com/college/basketball/recruiting/story/1571506-roundtable-fun-factor

Sounds a lot like LJ Peak to me. Would be nice to get another player with that level of athleticism and motor.

Yes, yes, and yes. I am glad to see the staff pushing hard on this one.

I like what I have seen of this guy. Him and Mosley paired with Tre and Kaleb would give us a wealth of backcourt depth and skill.
Of course if Seventh Woods wants to come here you scrap that. You have to take a guy who can score at will like him.

Mosely is great but he's not a volume shooter and neither is Campbell. Once DSR heads to the NBA next year as a lottery pick we're going to need someone to replace his scoring, badly.

Campbell was definitely a volume shooter in Kenner games this summer! He was pulling up for 3s at every opportunity. Some games this worked very well, other times.... not so much. It will be interesting to see if he is nearly this aggressive in hunting his shots in real games this season.

But my hope is still that DSR returns to his trigger-happy soph year form and shoot whenever he has daylight. The spacing should be much improved.

DSR shot more threes in less minutes last year compared to his sophomore year.

DSR shot more threes in less minutes last year compared to his sophomore year. He also passed up on more threes, by percentage, this past year. Was also not talking strictly in reference to threes, I was thinking about hit midrange jumper too. Used to take more NBA jumpers as a soph, he was much more calculated as a junior.

A MOTOR IS IN You can teach someone how to shoot the ball, how to read a defense by watching game film, and how to guard the high ball screen, but one thing that you cannot teach is how to play hard. It might seem simple, but competing each and every possession can take a toll on someone, both physically and mentally. However, it seems that some of the more talented recruits in 2016 have made it a point to play hard each time out on the hardwood and because of it, are coveted that much further. Take for instance the likes of Bruce Brown, Thon Maker, Javin DeLaurier, Bam Adebayo, and Wenyen Gabriel. All five have become blueblood recruits and not just because of their ball skills in ability in scoring the basketball; hopefully that trends trickles down the younger classes in the coming years. hoopseen.com/index.php/news/headlines/item/3381-five-major-takeaways-from-the-class-of-2016

I think Kaleb is this kind of player, and it'd be nice to pick up another one for 2016...

We have had far too many players with significant roles over the last few years without those basic skills, and its pretty late in the game at that point to start developing them. We have also had a number of kids with the basics and the skills who for one reason or another have not competed with that word hard. Others who have those skills but without the natural athleticsm of others once they figured out how to compete have been more than adequate. I'm sorry it just drives me crazy when kids get to this level without basic defensive skill sets.
