Didn't mean Peoria kids. Was referring to someone of Max's size and skill from the inner city in Chicago. If Max was an inner city Chicago kid, this conversation wouldn't be happening.Onward and Upward!

Max is a downstate non inner city kid and Chicago fans probably don't know about him. It's only logical that fans from this area know the local kids and fans from Chicago know the Chicago kids.Originally posted by BradleyBrave View PostWhat part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

I would disagree in this day and age, and I think you're kind of missing my point on this.Originally posted by Chico View PostOnward and Upward!

IMO, the majority of fans don't follow high school sports outside the local area. I think I get your point and I just don't agree.Originally posted by BradleyBrave View PostWhat part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

Maybe I gave Egolf too much credit. The times I have seen him play live and on TV / Computer he can get up pretty good.Originally posted by tornado View Post
He did high jump something like 6'6 when he was a HS SR, but maybe the knee injuries have hurt his leaping ability some.Comment

Here is a picture of Will in high school before his knee injury/reconstruction. He was quite a leaper, but I think he's lost a little vertical since the knee injury.-

Above the Rim: Dunking with authority easily and consistently, Not Bradley
Below the Rim: Laying it in everytime, BradleyComment

I would say the closest thing to an "above the rim" player that BU has had in the past few years are:
Chris Roberts
Boogie
Zach Andrews
just my opinion of course, but those 3 are the only ones in recent history that could be even considered as an "above the rim" type player.Comment

I think you could easily add Theron Wilson to that list!Originally posted by jrish12 View Post

closest thing?? If there were a prototypical "above the rim player" anywhere in college baskletball the past few years,Originally posted by jrish12 View Post
it has to be Chris Roberts...absolutely has to be........
He made a living with high flying dunks that made ESPN....and it even earned him a chance at the college slam dunk championship
(which he shoulda won)...and a chance to be on the Globetrotters!!
If Roberts is only the "closest thing", then please, someone name the real thing because it doesn't exist if it's not CRob!

I was just answering your question. You asked if someone could name ANY "over the rim" type player in the whole MVC, and I named 3 that played for Bradley alone in the last 6 years. Dont jump on my case because you wanted an answer to the question....Originally posted by tornado View Post
The reason I didnt put Theron on this list is because he had a more overall game, I felt that Boogie, ZA, and CR all played mostly above the rim.Comment

jrish...I know and I appreciate it and agree with ouy for the most part......
but there must be a misunderstanding with regards to how this topic started...
that post of mine was in defense of Max Bielfeldt and was in response to a post way, way back on the 1st page...
it was not aimed at you at all.........
and I would agree a few MVC players occasionally are above the rim player..but not many Valley post players have even been described as such...
thus my contention that we would be crazy to turn down a kid just because he's not an "above the rim" player...we'd be waiting forever!Comment
