KU Commits Stats, Tweets, Highlights Etc...

BShark

That’s pretty great. I had been digging around Max Preps but they hide the box scores behind a pay wall and I am absolutely not paying for HS basketball stats. Even funnier knowing that there is a site that puts them out there for free.

@BeddieKU23 That site is nice! All of Dave’s individual game stats (and most everyone else KU recruits). Very cool. It looks like Big Dave is very consistent in the 10-15 ppg with a couple duds (2,6) and a couple of big games (20,23). Consistency would be nice, it generally means a consistent motor.

Definitely a good site.

Dave has some pretty decent post moves already and he’s a big body so that’s going to help him. Defensively Oak Hill plays a lot of zone so he’s not getting a ton of exposure guarding pick and roll etc. I think his defense will be a struggle the first year. He’s had some matchups against some really good players and struggled. But if you look back to AAU where he also faced top competition and was MVP of his championship team he was a pretty dominate force. That made KU push for him and secure his signing. Definitely helps him that he’s played against some very good teams/players for years

Markese 21 points in a tough loss to Simeon. Simeon has multiple D1 level guys including Talen Horton-Tucker who is gonna be a real problem at ISU.

Grimes played a game tonight and his team won their district. When I see stats from that game I will post.

BShark

Grimes 21 and 11.

Ochai went off tonight for 41 points and didn’t play the 4th quarter.

He will be in Lawrence on Monday for the Oklahoma game

Grimes hand 26 points and 11 rebounds for his game last night

BShark

Dotson had 26 pts in a come from behind playoff win. They were down 54-45 just a minute into the 4th quarter and won 63-60.

“I just wanted to do it all on the defensive end, lock in on every possession and give it my all, and we came out with a team win.” quote from Dotson

BShark

That quote right there…Self is gonna like him lol.

Grimes 14/10/10 in a playoff win last night. I tried to get a box score but could not find it. Grimes did hit two free throws at the end to seal the game.

Edit: Found a solid write-up of the game https://www.yourconroenews.com/neighborhood/moco/sports/article/BOYS-HOOPS-College-Park-holds-on-to-beat-North-12628915.php?utm_campaign=twitter-desktop&utm_source=CMS Sharing Button&utm_medium=social

Markese Jacobs for the season averaged 18.4 ppg, 2.6 spg and 3.1 apg.

@BShark I just wish we had the opportunity to play overseas again this summer. I’d love to see a little preview of this team.

BShark

@Kcmatt7 It’s going to be a long offseason.

dylans

@BShark Not if KU’s playing in April! I’d float for a month before the reality of no basketball sets in.

BShark

Markese Jacobs had 19 pts in a playoff win last night.

BShark

Markese 35 pts 16 asts in a playoff win.

Quentin Grimes 25 pts 7 reb 6 asts 4 bks 4 stls but in a playoff loss. Wasn’t that close either.

Dotson 27 pts in a playoff loss. Was the semi-final game.

Kcmatt7

Jacobs gonna get KU a title. Dude is a winner

Quentin Grimes ends his high school career with 2,863 points, 590 assists and 854 rebounds.

BShark

Big Dave 17 and 12 in his last game. Averaging 13 and 10 for the year. 1.3 blk and 1.8 fouls per game. Shooting 65% from the floor and the ft line. From what I have seen he has a good feel for the game. The kind of smart and tough post player that Self loves.

Agree, Oak Hill plays zone so it limits his defensive exposure some. I can see defensive rotations being a big struggle for him like most bigs early on. I do like his touch inside and BBIQ. Hope there is some minutes for him next season although it looks mighty crowded…

BShark

Yeah Grimes is a natural scorer and also has great vision and understanding of the game. He is our best guard prospect in awhile (counting Wiggs and Josh as wings).

I don’t expect too much from McCormack next year and it is doubly true if Doke returns. He is that kind of post player that hangs around, develops and later in his career gives you a very stable 12-15 ppg and 9-12 rpg. Reliable.

BShark

Big Dave 14 and 13 tonight.

dylans

Kinda hope McCormack redshirts if Dok comes back. I’d love to have him for 5, as unlikely as it may be.

Just had 23 points in a tough OT playoff loss. Didn’t see anyone that posted assist stats. This is the same Orr team that played tough with an absolutely loaded Simeon team for the Chicago city title a few days ago, so they are pretty good.

BShark

McCormack 14 and 12 tonight. He seems consistent.

Good for him. Hope to see him have a good showing

@BeddieKU23 Pretty loaded team. Not a lot of bigs though so he should have a really solid shot to get pt when a big post is needed.

Grimes is pretty good.

BeddieKU23

@BShark

Just a tad good I’d say

BShark

@BeddieKU23 I’m seeing nothing but positives on Grimes and Dotson from people reporting.

justanotherfan

Grimes is the most talented incoming guard KU has had in the Self era. He can do it all. Pure scorer. Has a great knack for distributing. Has the athleticism to defend. Can slide over to point because he has the handle. Has the size to move to the wing if necessary. KU hasn’t had a guy like this coming in since probably Paul Pierce. KU is in the middle of a special run right now, but has a chance to have a special season next year, too. But this is Kansas, so that’s what happens.

@BShark

Sounds like Big Dave has moved up since picking KU.

BeddieKU23

I love Big Dave long term. He’s going to have a tough transition defensively for a while. Oak Hill played zone so KU principles will be a big learning curve for him. Hope he finds a way into some games because he will be mighty important in years 2-4

BShark

@BeddieKU23 The good news for KU is that he shouldn’t be needed for big minutes next year. I hope he is okay with that though as like you I think he will be a very nice player for KU in time.
