Basketball Commitment

That's insane...I jumped over a guy playing pick up football once but he was crouching so that was maybe a five foot jump and I fell when I landed. That guy cleared that like a fricking gazelle...can you imagine how cool that must feel to be able to just do that so effortlessly...

If you watch some of his jumps, his take off point is about 18" further out than a lot of guys. He just throws himself over the bar. there's a vid of him SCISSORING (going over sitting down) about 6'8". And he's actually hurdling those things, not jumping....

I sucked so badly at high jump that I wouyld usually end up trying to scissor over the bar...didn't know I was such a trend setter. I was impressed by Harvey Glance's abilty to hurdle a VW...but this guy has that beat...by a lot.

Harvey Glance...remember when sprinters actually got media coverage?

Now they have to have runoffs for third place to get mentioned.

I was a straddler and really wished I had learned to flop. At 5'10" I easily had the hops to dunk but small hands. Never learned to dunk with two hands-with a couple steps I could just balance the ball then "flip" it over real fast but going straight up that was pretty tough.

I do box jumps at 36 inches at the end of my workout but now its mostly just pulling my legs up to get there.

I used to do 20 inch box jumps with 55lbs of sand accross my back for legs...i had my left knee scoped in the spring. The surgeon told me I shouldn't do that any more. Screw that...next workout...

I do mine with a bar loaded with 6 45 pound plates and I do it backwards and naked.

I tried that routine only with seven plates....I'm not gonna say where I hung that 7th plate...

I'd be more interested in his AAU. Valley View plays in the SWBL. Also known in Dayton as the "slow white boys league."

I think he's going to be a good player at BG. He's 38 points from breaking the school scoring record.

Thanks for that!

Wow, how'd you make it fit?

falcon137, Denny is a member of Ohio Red one of the very best AAU teams in Ohio/Midwest. So he is getting a lot of good competition this summer.

Denny can shoot it. Denny wants to get better/be good. Denny loves BG.

Those three things are really really important.

Go Falcons!

All Ohio Red is one of the premier AAU programs in the country, that's great news. I think this is a good pickup.

Every team needs a great outside shooter, even if he isn't a great athlete. Ryne Smith at Purdue (Toledo Whitmer) is a perfect example as is Mike Miller with the Miami Heat. There's always a place for a good shooter.

This team needs a good shooter. Especially since the last "pure shooter" is roughly 24% over 3 seasons.

And there's always room for Jello....
