2011 Signees
- Thread starter EarleHornet
- Start date
Anyone know how many incoming recruits we are expecting to sign? :?:
http://www.jcscores.com/basketball/...print.asp?TeamId=12&League=1&Season=2010-2011
Estrada (6'-1", 185 lbs) looks like a true perimeter threat. The stats I got from JCScores differ slightly from what was posted in the article but he seems like he can nail the 3. He had the second most turnovers on his team last season and he seems to struggle from the charity stripe:
I hope Katz wasn’t serious; Eberhard (6'-6", 205 lbs) is anything but a perimeter threat. He went 9 of 31 (29.0%) from beyond the arc and had the second most turnovers on his team last season (58 TO’s, 1.9 tpg). He should spend little time as a Hornet on the perimeter heaving up 3’s. With his perceived rebounding ability based on his stats (188 total rebs, 6.3 rpg), he should be in and around the paint on every offensive possession. Taking out his 3 pointers, he shot 113 of 230 (49.1%) from the field. Maybe he can bulk up this offseason so he can see some time at the 4 spot next season.

- • Scoring: 13.2 ppg (Second highest on his team last season.)
• FG’s: 132/347 (38.0%)
• 3’s: 101/258 (39.1%)
• FT’s: 44/77 (57.1%) Needs to work on this.
• Rebs: 20 offensive boards, 77 defensive boards, 97 total, 3.1 rpg
• Assists: 62 total, 2.0 apg
• Steals: 55, 1.8 spg
• Turnovers: 55, 1.8 tpg. Another concern here.
Thanks SDH, sure would like to see some frosh.

I think he has 2 more for the 2011 signings. I'm okay with Estrada. We need perimeter play . But we need a Point Guard too. If I'm correct in thinking we only have 4 scholarships, then he must really see something in Eberhard to commit to him this early. I've just grown suspect of Katz' over rated or overly optimistic player evaluations. I hope he's waiting on a PG who's maybe looking at a school that won't call. We need a real PG real bad, JC or HS. Then we need an athlete who can come in and put up at least 10, hopefully 13 pts a game. That would be nice.

Perimeter can also mean 12-15 feet too. If this guy can hits jumpers from there, that would be great, cause we haven't had a guy like that in years.
Good point. Eberhard is making almost half of his non-3 point shots and we need anyone who can make baskets. I just fear Katz will have him playing beyond the arc and judging by his stats (hell, he only shot 1 3-pointer per game) the long ball doesn’t seem to be his game. Eberhard doesn’t have a redshirt for use so we will see how Katz uses him this upcoming season.SactoHornetAlum said:

Very good point. The game has evolved into penatrating, dunks and 3's. A mid range player is a lost art. We typically think of perimeter as beyond the arc. A good mid range player would be nice but I have a feeling if he was that, Katz would have pointed it out.

Sounds suspect to me. No one with that hair do can put up those kind of numbers.

He can be a descent player in a couple of years. He seems to have good hands and a good shot. But can he compete at this level or is he just a good rec player is my question. He'll have a lot to learn in a short amount of time if he plays his freshman year. But he's a real good project IMO. If he plays the 2 that will improve our ballhandling. I think he's a redshirt. At 6' 2'' 165lbs his body isnt ready yet. We still need a quality point guard. Come on, Katz!

Here's his Sr. year clip. He reminds me of a small Pete Maravich. There's things about his game I really like: he has a shooters mentality, he has range, his head is always up and he can pass, he seems to have good feel and leadership ability. I like his hands. What I question is his size, his lack of athleticism, and whether or not he'll learn how to adjust his skills to a bigger, faster game. What I don't like is he's totally right handed. I'm not so sure he's a D1 point guard though. He's a project and I'd like to see him redshirt unless he really comes on quick. Now it's even more imparative to get an experienced PG because he has to learn everyday in practice from someone.

Yep, soph and jr clips. He could be a Bobby Hurley with the right cast. My guess is he hasn't develop his body much more than what you see in the clip cause he only received 2 stars. Where he's too much a gamble for some of the bigger programs he's a pretty good pick for us. I'm happy. I'm still not ready to say he's the answer to our immediate need.
I think this Garrity recruit is a good get for Katz and the Hornets. I agree that a PG with some experience is needed immediately, but if Garrity is given the time to develop I think he can become a solid leader and contributor for this program. He doesn’t look overly impressive from the video clips, but he does show he has range and vision and he looks capable of bringing the ball up the floor every possession. At 6’-1” and 165 pounds he isn’t as big as other D-1 PG’s, but given that he will be a freshman his body still has a couple more years to grow. Hats off to Katz for landing him. :clap:

Katz landed another recruit. This one a forward from a JC here in the SD area; Anthony Cosentino.
He’s got some solid stats coming in. I hope he can contribute immediately.

He seems to be consistently listed at 6'6'' 215, not 6'7'' 220. He's received interest from the University of San Diego,UC Santa Barbara, Cal State Dominguez Hills out of HS, not sure of the interest level coming out of JC. Here's a possible scenario, maybe there was some DI interest but he had to take classes and no one wanted to wait. If so, good for us. MVP has to say something even if his father was Coach of the Year. I suppose he can score it.
It seems that Katz sacraficed athleticism and went after offensive minded DII players. With the overall lack of scoring we had last year, and losing 2 of our top 3 scorers, I can see why he'd go that direction. Getting DI athleticism that can also score to come here is clearly not his recruiting strength. So you've got to give up something to get something. If this is the final year of his contract, loading up with DII players can be risky, but he has to replace Duro and STB. I think Estrada can be a DI guard from what I've read on him, even though I haven't seen him play or have much to go on. Hopefully Cosentino, Garrity and Eberhard are diamonds in the rough. So far I see a slow and methodical team that can't beat anyone off the dribble, defend the length of the floor or jump particularly high, but If they can stretch the defense enough that our bigs can do a little work, and play multiple zone defenses, who knows...maybe 10 wins is not out of the question.
