Jamal Hunt Jr.
- Thread starter RU-Choppin-Ohio
- Start date
Yeah, don't let me get to you...lol. I can have an opinion as much as the next guy. I do welcome him...as a walk on.
I want walk ons to help the team during practices by simulating opponents. I don't see us playing many 5'10" guards in the B1G.
Now with that said, watch, he'll beat out Sanders as a starter and make 1st team All B1G. :)

Next year this board will overreact when Jamal decides to turn pro and go into a panic mode [winking]
Except that your opinion is that nobody except you are allowed to have a correct opinion about any recruit when the truth is, like the most of us, all you have is Google. Sorry but I've asked you specific questions about recruits and you literally just spout off lines from an Internet article. Stop acting like you know how good these kids are. We've seen it here many times in the past, where people pretend to be amateur recruiting experts, and you're just repeating history again.
OK guy lol. Point is posters were analyzing his game to justify him being our next offer which was laughable. Its pretty clear that he is a walk on and I am thankful for his contribution.
With Hobbs and Knight on board, the days of offering the "Justin Goode" types should be over.

I think of Tim Hardaway who at 5'10" had a long and very successful NBA career. And there have been others.
I'm sorry, but point out where anybody mentioned him having an offer? All I saw were people asking curious questions. Nowhere did anybody suggest he should get a schollie. So please explain how you jumped to that conclusion? I get it. You like to be the "recruit" guy.
At any rate as Jamal is a walk-on for us, I welcome him to the team just as you have. Just leave out the other BS.
He was listed at 5'9" but probably couldn't measure an honest 5'7" if he was wearing thick soled sneakers. Led the BE in steals for multiple seasons. Kobe Bryant, about ten years into his NBA career called Linehan the best defender he's ever played against. And Linehan never played in the NBA.
Nothing lost in letting the kid walk on. Not sure what the refugee from the football board is complaining about, other than simply flaming.

Read the article by 24/7 that he hasn't even spoke to coach Pikiell yet and usually the head coach offers PWO spots based on recommendation of the staff so is he really a preferred walk on or a kid seeking some attention and is just going to go out when the team holds walkon tryouts which are required by the school even though they don't take anyone. Batie is the only kid who was selected in recent years. Just very confused about this situation.
...why are you calling our walk on some kid just seeking attention? He's going to Rutgers...that's all that matters.
How big was Khalid El Amin? had to be well under 6
How about Geoff Billett? he was under 6. (I won't mention the traitorous one)

Why is everyone mentioning his height? I started the thread and all I said was, " I don't think Rutgers needs a 5 10 PG. I said that because we already have 3 guards 6'2" and under. My preference is that we get some taller guards, like 6'4 and 6'5 guys with length and long arms on the roster. I'll take 6'6" Maishe Dailey.....when he closes out on a shooter he can alter shots. A Big problem last year was 4 guards under 6'3 closing out on shooters.
No one said a 5 10" PG could not be very good in college.

I'm confused by the negativity around an apparently solid walk on.
Closing out, seems to be a lost art these days. Also, sometimes I question it.
Seth Curry can't, but Steph Curry can.
Actually, and this'll start an argument, Steph Curry has been good since he entered the league, really good the last three seasons, and phenomenal for about a year and a half. Wouldn't be on my all NBA team yet.
