Thiero on BBN tonight

Here’s a teaser.

If he continues to go after the ball and get the ball then he will be on the floor. We need a guy that plays D, goes for boards and can score enough to keep defenses honest. If A. T. could get 7 pts, 7 boards a game we will be in good shape.

Effort, we got guys this year who wants a title.

But wasn’t he a 3 star?

 

[PoBilly]

Never put stock in the * rating. Could not care less. He could be a 0* maybe he is a square or triangle. Heck who cares. I am glad he is a WILDCAT. I am glad he is developing.

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

Dude was a complete dawg in Canada.

Damn, built like a tank. Next year with Welch as shooting coach and he won’t even be here his senior year

But wasn’t he a 3 star?

He was a 3 star because he was a 6-4 guard that couldn’t shoot. Now he’s a 6-7 tank with handles like a guard. He still needs to improve his shot but he needs to be on the court a bunch this year. I love his hustle and drive.

But wasn’t he a 3 star?

Dominique Hawkins was also a three star, but found a way to get a decent amount of minutes his freshman year. I do think Adou has a higher ceiling than Dominique though.

I think ranking matters when you need them to be impact players from day 1. Those are the top 10 guys imo .Not saying the 11th guy isn't or can't be. 11-25 I think are impact players but at a less consistent level.

I think he easily gets that this year they way he looked this summer. He’s coming along nicely.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I'm not at all comparing their games.. but I have a feeling he might be like how Andre Jackson was for Uconn last year. Nose for the ball, do anything kind of player to help get you the win. Can put up unique stat lines like 6pts 7-rebounds and 4-assists.

 

[WallMash]

I have to say Theiro impressed me in Canada, but it will be hard to keep him on floor 25 minutes a game. You all are saying he can get you 6 or 7 points a game. The guys who will take his spot have better chance at getting 14 to 20 points a game.

 

[uk78_rivals88018]

What I hope and remain doubtful based upon Cal's observable history is that we stop seeing the favorites who at the time are not performing well. Instead those with effort with judgement get rewarded. So guys like Theiro if contributing (and quit just focusing on him or one playing have to be the one scoring) then play them. No more just giving major minutes to the B.J. Bostons or Askews and on and on because they came to the program highly rated. I am not staying they shouldn't have an opportunity for growth, but not at the expense of the team winning versus having certain favorites costing us games.

 

[ukgold]

Its going to be so interesting seeing our roster combos this year. Thiero is going to be a stat stuffer. His 3 point shot needs some work.

 

[ksharpless]

Also who said he can’t shoot?

He shoots with decent confidence on spot up 3s. Hit several in the Bahamas last year.

Think with more game experience and finding his spots he’ll become more than serviceable there.

 

[Montana81]

Thiero has the makings of being that glue guy that every title team has.

Speaking of.
