USA Today: Sanders is Class of 2015's most entertaining hoops star
- Thread starter PiscatawayMike
- Start date
The program doesn't need a guy with fancy dribbles 25 feet from the basket. The entertaining I want to see is making the extra pass, getting stops on D, and getting 51%+ of 50/50 balls. The last thing this team and program needs are individuals. Now if he can penetrate and kick for an open 3......
My favorite Scarlet Knight of all time is Marquis Webb so you can see my basketball tastes are a bit odd.

I am with you Fig. If Sanders comes in and is doing crossovers to get out of a break, watch out.
Nonetheless, i think he comes in and does the right thing. Might take a couple of games though. Need to limit turnovers off the bat though next year.

We are going to roll him the ball and see what he has
Williams and Foreman are two pieces. if we get one more piece out that class with Sanders...we are getting on track

Let's not lose sight of the fact Bishop Daniels can be entertaining and oozes raw talent. I hope they develop chemistry and play no more than 30 MPG!!!!!
Its my understanding Sanders has not yet been cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse. Accordingly, if that is accurate there absolutely are questions regarding his eligibility. As someone who has attended multiple high schools at multiple times that is frequently a situation that results in delays by the Clearinghouse. I have also not seen or heard anything definitive whether he has taken or achieved an acceptable SAT score.
Fig, Sanders and Daniels in spurts would be awesome on a break.
For long periods though, the turnover rate would be high. If Sanders comes in and and has 2-3 turnovers a game, that would be incredible. Think of IW though, he's averaging a lot of turnovers per game. Nonetheless, Sanders under coaching is pretty impressive. Seems to really respect the learning process as one video showed.
Sanders, Williams would help us keep possession. Williams has the least turnovers on the team with kids who actually played. We need to keep possession.
A full roster, let's hope EJ uses it.
Bdodger, i think BK has stated he is doing well. Let's hope for the best.

As Rutgers fans, it goes without saying we all hope Sanders will be an all-around player and playmaker.
The truth is, Sanders is the type of performer many hoops fans are attracted to. The things he's able to do on a basketball court will bring notoriety (and eyeballs) to RU games. You don't get almost...

Piscataway, totally hear what you're saying but those two things win games. Easy buckets. No pressure buckets at the line.
Nonetheless, you're spot on with Sanders being a player that can bring excitement to the RAC. Us fans are ready to make noise, we just need a reason. Can't start a chant when you're down 14 points. It's tough there.

You can't clear the clearinghouse if you are still in HS. You would
hope he had his previous schools send in official transcripts to ensure
the process is completed quickly once he receives his final
transcripts. I'm sure he did not mean to get you guys all excited.

I will say that with him and Bishop Daniels, RU will have two of the most ridiculously athletic guards I have seen on the same team. Ridiculous.
I agree though about making the extra pass etc. I also want to see the guy receiving the extra pass be ready for it...

Would rather see a video of him shooting a 15 foot jumper, free throws and a three point shot...
Unfortunately people are so impressed with Dunks these days.
Mcknight, i hear you but not every guard has a complete game before college. I still think hell do well here. I think we should tamper out expectations so we're not dissipointed. 6 ppg and 3 assist per game would be pretty awesome.
I don't think him alone will be the savior for RU hoops next year. We bring back more capable defenders and more kids who are known to shoot. The team should be okay.

Thanks Slate. Sometimes the board gets a little too white and forgets that it is still a game not an accounting class...
A month or so ago someone posted a link to a video featuring Corey working out with a hoops trainer. He was putting in good work. his jumper looked good - square, fluid, repeatable form. The fundamentals are there.
I'm sure his approach to B1G play will differ from AAU.

Here is the video I linked a while ago with Corey training.
Anyone that believes he is not coachable or cannot shoot should watch. And this is not just shooting around in a gym, this is fatigue basketball training.
From all the videos I have seen of Corey, he can dribble, pass, shoot, and is very athletic. I can do without the "flare", lets see how he does at the next level before we decide he can't do this or that.

Holy Sh_t! Watched the video, the kid is incredibly quick and could join the globe trotters right know. RU is fortunate to have something exciting to look forward to. He will be a game- changer and I'll bet anything he can shoot too!
I will be more impressive if he does all this dunking against B1G opposition. I'm guessing he will have to shoot from the perimeter more at the college level. Almost everybody at that level is quick and can jump.
I would like to know your sources. Because my sources say he's going to be here, and if you want because one of those sources is a mod on the premium site I'll have him post on this thread.
Its nothing personal to you Bdodger but I have looked everywhere and sent emails and talked to people and the only place that has said that there is any issue with Sanders eligibility is this message board.

Seels - I do not claim to have any sources on this issue. All I stated was that Sanders has attended multiple high schools in multiple years. That makes the Clearinghouse issue more complex because it requires the individual to make certain that all of these schools submit the required paperwork on his behalf. If you are no longer attending the school it can make that process more difficult. NJ4Life accurately clarified my earlier post as he correctly pointed out an athlete cannot be cleared until final transcripts are in. My initial post was poorly written. I also did not make any claims as to the player's SAT test I mereky noted that whether he has ever taken the test or received a qualifying score has been the subject on this board. I merely sought an answer. To date no one has responded or affirmatively stated that the SAT test has been taken and is not an issue. Remember that despite the fact that Sanders is a highly ranked player there was little recruiting interest in him in relationship to his talent. That is a red flag in my view.
In sum, I have no idea whether Sanders will qualify. Simply pointed out potential red flags. Hopefully it works out for us.
And no, didn't take your post personally.

Almost every recruiting player registers with the NCAA Clearinghouse (now known as the NCAA Eligibility Center), and their ACT/SAT scores are sent directly from their HS to the NCAA Eligibility Center.
Also, most recruits know if they have hit the NCAA minimum requirements or not, even before they receive a HS degree.
NCAA requirements now state the minimum for Div I:
Div I Core Course Requirements
Subject Requirement
English 4 years
Math (Algebra I or higher) 3 years
Natural/Physical Science 2 years
Additional English, Math or Natural/Physical Science 1 year
Social Science 2 years
Additional from any category above and/or Foreign Language, Philosophy or Non-Doctrinal Religion courses 4 years
Total 16 Courses
Also, must have minimum 2.0 GPA in core courses as well...plus qualifying minimum SAT or ACT score.
