Clemmons team is rolling!

Having depth next season will be key for the current players and for the incoming players. We have a nice mix. We don't necessarily have to throw anyone to the wolves, per se, but each of them can gain some quality experience. Really like what we have going on in the guard court. Fran will have the option to play some interesting lineups ... Sounds bad to say but I wish next year was already tipping off ...

IMO, coming out of high school, White was a tweener. He was too uncoordinated to be a small forward, and he didn't have enough muscle or post moves to be a power forward.

EDIT: Kinda like Larry Bird.

Bird started at Indiana, one of if not the top basketball school in the country at the time and was the opposite of uncoordinated, White was not uncoordinated out of highschool for that matter either.

Aaron White could make first team all american and still not a have a tenth of the ability of Larry Bird.

Its an outrageous comparison. If they weren't both pasty skinned it would never be made.

To me a much better comparison is a young Robert Horry. Both are long skinny 4s who can shoot outside and rely on quickness rather than strength.

Indiana state
 
Bird started at indiana but left after a few weeks because he was used to being in a small town and indiana university was so big. Later he decided to go to indiana state because it had more of a small town atmosphere.

How'd he look?

I posted under the 2013 recruit topic more detail.
The short story:

He is a legit 6'1" and has a college ready body...looked like he could play another game after it was over.
Defensively, it was hard to tell how good he was until late in the 3rd and the 4th quarters. He made a couple really nice steals and blocked two three-point shots, one he took for an impressive dunk.
Offensively, he struggled in the first half, first quarter esepcially, but he ended up with 12 pts, he hit at least one of each shot: Dunk, Layup, 15 ft jumper and a three pointer, was 1-2 from the line, he has a nice relase point and great elevation on his shot.
The most impressive aspect of Clemmons is his overall athleticism. He was on the block going for a board, beside him was a 6-9 kid going to Kent State and Clemmons hands were higher at their peak. Lots of explosion off the floor and he is extremely fast with the ball and always looking for an open teammate. When he had pressure, there was no panic, he was always under control.
Clemmons struggled at times, but the team he was playing had something to do with it. He is for real.
