Peter Kiss

I haven't really seen that many people talking about Kisses game.

Just watching three videos, what stands out most about him:

1High focus during the game. Has a look that he stays in the game for the full forty minutes.
2Has a varied level of shot selection. Surprisingly for his size he takes a lt of his shots in and less than a foot from the paint.
3 He takes proper cuts to create space. Old school tactics. You don't see as many people doing this these days. Often in hoops I see a lot of proper spacing with little actually cutting. People are very dependent on the kick out pass. Kiss working for his shots will allow him to get better ones.
4 With the Rutgers staff, Kisses game will probably get better. He could use increased size, especially in the big. He definitely needs more strength.

I am not quite sure I see the ultra athleticism in all of his games. He picks the right pace to play with and made decisions correctly without his pace dictating his decision making. He does not come off lightning quick. I think his turnovers would decrease on the Banks.

Overall, he has a good game. His level of competitiveness would make any team better, but especially the Rutgers Basketball program. It would be a nice addition.

Maac to Big ten would be a jump, but I think with proper strength added, Kiss could make it and would contribute near what he was at QP and higher because of his saavy play. He is sneaky.

After proving he was efficient for the MAAC, I like to think he wanted to see a greater level of play. I could see him getting a long very well with the staff on the Banks. Looking at the risk, I think with a kid like Kiss it is a very sound risk, not the type of player to transfer one or two times after Rutgers.

Hopefully the staff can land him.

Rutgers has now lost 3 players from last seasons squad.The priority should be filling the scholarships with players that can play this season and not with transfers to sit out a year.

It will always be a mix. You have to be able to adjust, see different opportunities.

2 years play for 3 years scholarship is different. 3 years play for 4 years scholarship is something else. Kiss is the right risk.

If we should lose one more player to transfer I would not mind if we brought in 2 guys to help us for next year and Kiss who could sit out next year. The more I see of Kiss I like him. I think he could be a nice addition for us but I also realize that we need at least 2 new players for immediate help for the coming season. I think we need a grad transfer center and a shooter for the coming season.

As of now:

We lost Gettys, Johnson & Laurent and we had one scholarship open as we only had 12 on scholarship this past season..

We have added Baket & Souf Mensah. We should have 2 open ships now but if we lose one more player we would have 3 open ships which I could see us adding 2 more players for the coming season and possibly Kiss as a third who could sit out a year.

The priority should be good players.
By your comment it seems 2017-18 isn't that important.I also think good players could be misconstrued as to talking about character versus skill set.Rutgers needs shooters above anything else and not more complementary type players who might meet your definition of good players.Winning matters now for Pikiell to keep the positive media attention received last year.Fans in favor of patience should know by now that such a course of action hasn't worked for the mens basketball program the last 26 years.

I have did not say that next year is not important, like Higgins said, it is a mix.
 
Just realized kiss is supposed to visit this weekend but it's also a live period. I know UA has a session in NYC but the other sneaker circuits are in other states. Wonder how this is going to work with the coaches have to go out and see the future guys we are recruiting.
 
Do the all blacks have a basketball team?

NZ does, but they're actually called the Tall Blacks. Second row players (locks and flankers) are tall enough to play bball (6'4" to 6'8"), but they'd be better suited to playing DE.

Marquis Webb played in NZ for a year for the Wellington team. Super popular among his teammates (I'm friends with the dad of one of the players.)
