Semaj Christon

Video interview with Semaj here...

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80kKd8Rqjik]YouTube - workout nation next big thing[/ame]

He mentions Iowa. Sounds like a late bloomer whose stock has exploded his senior year. I think he would be a good get. Starting to see lots of options for Fran.
 
Just a wild guess on my part, but I'm thinking the name Semaj is some kind of tribute to a relative named "James".
 
How do they find these guys...

The kid shot 63% from the field? Wholly ****!

That is the worst interview I have ever seen.

When I see all these mid-majors in the NCAA and NIT, I see plenty of guards that could help Iowa. There are players out there, Fran just needs to spot the right ones.
 
Why does the interviewer keep looking at the camera. That is so awkward.


It's awesome how the questions and answers were written down in advance.
 
Here's another interview, immediately after a January game in which he scored 28 points and had 11 assists. Enjoys playing point guard: "I like to share the ball and get my teammates involved first, then I try to get going." At that point says he's 165 pounds, needs to add some weight to play in college.

In this clip from a week ago looking ahead to the high school playoffs a sports reporter says Semaj is the "tallest player" on his Winton Woods team at 6-3.

Longer video from Winton Woods' District 3 finals last week. Christon misses a second FT near the end of regulation that allows Wayne to tie it with a layup. Involved in several plays in two OTs, including a steal and assist that winds up key in the 80-76 victory.

How do they find these guys.... They must have people everywhere that give them leads...
I find that a very good question and I will say that there are literally hundreds of thousands of kids out there and a lot of them had coaches that didn't make a tape of them to send out or they played in an obscure conferences' or whatever. Over the last 30 years I can't tell you how many very good players went un-noticed. It happens and they end up going to school and playing Y ball or something. Fran looks under every rock and will go to the ends of the earth to find the fit he is looking for. This might be an example of that. Lets hope so.
 
Poster on the WVU Scout board says Christon being pursued by Huggy Bear as well as Cincy and Georgetown. Another suggests he needs to work on his grades if he expects to go BCS/Big East.
