This should answer the question of whether JT3 is ready to change his Os perception.....

Markquis Nowell, the 5-6, 145-pound guard from the NJ Playaz, says George Washington, Seton Hall and Georgetown are among the schools recruiting him the hardest, but also mentioned VCU. As for his height, he said, "God gave me what he gave me so I feel I have to play with a chip on my shoulder and that's what I do every time I step on the court."..

I know it might not be popular (and it's ironic since I am short myself), but I really don't love our recruitment of small guards. Now, maybe Nowell is such a unique and rare talent that he's worth pursuing, but as good as someone like this might be, they create defensive problems that aren't easily addressed.

IDK, 2003, many smaller guards play successfully at major programs. I don't think it should be an issue, as long as one doesn't have a team full of them. But I do understand your point.

Have we ever pursued a shorter guard? Just wondering. However, I don't agree with the sentiment. If you can play the game you can play the game at whatever height. Yes, your supporting staff must be able to balance. I am old enough to remember Spud Web and Muggsy Bogues. Spud Web even went on to win the slam dunk competition one year.

Now, maybe Nowell is such a unique and rare talent that he's worth pursuing, but as good as someone like this might be, they create defensive problems that aren't easily addressed. Sounds exactly like page 1 of the Chris Lykes thread all over again. Smaller PG's with elite quickness have proven their ability over and over to be highly impactful in D1 college basketball. Also very very few college teams have the patience and awareness of how to take advantage of offensive mismatches on the court consistently. Lastly if you want to play at a high tempo in both the open court and half court smaller guards with elite quickness can be a tremendous asset. Very very few Chris Dunn's out there (size, length, elite quickness and speed). The ideal situation is to have a bigger PG (6'3"+) on the roster along with a smallish PG so that if an opponent is taking advantage of the mismatch or for situational advantages. In in terms of Markquis Nowell, he can flat out play. The only question I have about his game is can his smaller frame handle the physicality. Chris Lykes has a thicker frame and build then Nowell. With the 18 class being so weak especially at the PG position, I'm glad to see the staff has identified Nowell early enough to be one of the first high major programs to offer. Coach Broadus has been seen watching him during this July live period. Nothing is lost with the staff offering and tracking Nowell early.

I don't have a problem with the staff identifying shorter point guards that might have an impact. I think that there are plenty of guys who can be very good college players who otherwise have no shot at the NBA because of size and physical limitations. All that being said, there's a difference between a 6'0 or 6'1 guard, and somebody who is 5'8, too. The fact that Mugsey Bogues and Spud Webb are basically the go-to names when it comes to smaller guards shows how few of them are out there.

We don't need them to be pro players, just good college players. There are lots of smaller players in college that play quite effectively. I wouldn't mind a Mo Watson on our squad.

Maybe he's still growing? He can flat out shoot no matter how tall he is.

Markquis Nowell (2018/N.J. Playaz) A Harlem native, Nowell is just the latest in a line of guards out to prove one thing: size doesn’t matter. At just 5-7 and 145 pounds, Nowell is often the smallest player on the court, whether he’s playing with Bishop Loughlin (N.Y.) or with the Playaz on Nike’s EYBL circuit. But he doesn’t let that bother him in the slightest. “I’ve got to be the best guard out there because of my height,” he said. “So that’s what I’m trying to prove.” In helping the Playaz 17s to a win over the Jersey Shore Warriors, Nowell had a game-high 22-points, knocking down four 3-pointers to show off his shooting range. That follows up on an impressive Peach Jam, where he averaged 26.7 ppg in pool play for the Playaz 16s, including a 34-point outing against Each 1 Teach 1 (Fl.); he still managed to average 5.3 apg during that span. So far, he has offers from George Washington, VCU, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Rutgers and Minnesota, with schools like Michigan and Villanova starting to call around. “It’s a blessing, some of my dream schools are calling for me,” he said. “Just have to keep working.” A muscular lead guard, he’s got a great drive-and-kick ability that squares well with the rest of the Playaz’ uptempo backcourt, and is a top-end finisher as well. www.cityofbasketballlove.com/news_article/show/671810?referrer_id=1566508

Isn't he like 5'10"?

Though Markquis Nowell is listed at just 5-foot-8, 160 pounds, all it takes is one electrifying pass or smooth pull-up three-pointer from Bishop Loughlin’s (NY) point guard to alleviate concerns over his pint-sized frame. Many high-majors share those same sentiments. Nowell, a Class of 2018 four-star recruit, is hearing mostly from Michigan, California, Seton Hall, Minnesota, Georgetown, and VCU of late. www.zagsblog.com/2017/01/09/recruiting-roundup-markquis-nowell-kofi-cockburn/
