I didn’t say you said NBA talent. Old runner said he would have pro scouts instantly if he came to Weber. Furthermore Dallin Hall is a good player, but the odds of him coming to Weber are slim. The only guy we have at Weber that could be considered a super athlete would be Harding. I agree, Cody John is not good and has absolutely no court vision, but comparing a kid in High School to Sam Merrill isn’t fair to Hall. Sam Merrill is a legit College basketball player. He is on a different level. He plays for a team in a conference(Mountain West) that is head and shoulders above any Big Sky team. They just beat the 4th ranked team in the country, and Merrill hit a 28 foot step back 3 with a defender in his grill for the win. Dallin Hall could end up being a quality player, but compared to Sam Merrill, no way!
I totally agree, that we need some local kids in the program, but we are going to have to look deeper, because we aren’t going to get the obvious top guys in the state. We need to look for the Abel Porters of local guys.That would be a more possible option. We need to be creative and develop our players. And we need more length and shooting. Unfortunately, Randy and his staff have not shown the ability to find and develop those type of players over the last 3 years.Once Kendall Hill, Dusty Baker, and Ryan Richardson graduated, we lost our shooting and length. Now we have a bunch of 6’ 2 guards without range. And they keep on recruiting them, and they leave after a year. Weber is a revolving door at this point!
