Dude has major potential and I totally would consider giving him a scholarship.  Back to Top brucecuth General User Member Since: 12/21/2004 Post Count: 1,821 Status: Offline     RE: 2014 Javon Bess SG/SF columbus OH Ohio interest    Posted: 5/19/2013 8:29:35 AM  offer from Richmond, per VerbalCommits and Reggie Rankin.

They would easily replace Jon Smith and Ricardo Johnson.

This is Stevie Taylor's high school, but if he just transferred in I don't know about any connections... Also, I seem to recall another kid from Gahanna going to Akron, but I may be off there. I've seen crazier things happen.

Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

Says he decided to leave after meeting with Izzo, can only guess what was said. With the injuries, might be in the discount isle now. With the entire OSU freshman class seemingly out the door, Thad might also kick the tires, although in conference transfers are very rare.

Don't hold your breath on that one Back to Top Bobcat1998 General User Member Since: 11/7/2012 Post Count: 2,353 Status: Offline     RE: 2014 Javon Bess SG/SF columbus OH Ohio interest    Posted: 3/29/2016 1:13:24 PM  Saul can convince this kid he can be a player of the year in the MAC someday. He helped turn Tone into one. I believe Jaaron will be POY next year and then Bess will have 3 more years. Can you imagine in two years a lineup with senior Jaaron Simmons, juniors Gavin Block, Doug Taylor and Jordan Dartis and sophomore Javon Bess? That about covers the positions with a stretch 4, point guard, 2 guard, small forward and center. Then you've got seniors Laster and Harley, juniors Dozier and Gollon, sophomore Jason Carter and a couple of frosh!!! Of course I'm just dreaming right now :) Back to Top brucecuth General User Member Since: 12/21/2004 Post Count: 1,821 Status: Offline     RE: 2014 Javon Bess SG/SF columbus OH Ohio interest    Posted: 3/29/2016 6:03:02 PM  Bobcat1998 wrote: Saul can convince this kid he can be a player of the year in the MAC someday. Let's slow down for a minute. Is this the same kid that came out of Gahanna 2 years ago? I dunno. He's missed most of the last two years with injuries. Izzo throughout Bess's time at MSU praised him for his work ethic and toughness. What's changed to the point that Bess saw a limited future in East Lansing? My guess, and this is only a guess because I haven't seen him play in person, even in practice, is that injuries have taken a toll. I am certain that Saul and co. will perform their due diligence before making any decisions about pursuing Javon. If he can get back to where he was, and Saul feels he's a good fit, great. But don't expect miracles. I am concerned that when he did play at msu, BESS COULDN'T MAKE FREE THROWS. Yes he improved year over year, but 57% ('15-'16) is still not good. Certainly not a recipe for winning basketball, or POY at any level.

Certainly not a recipe for winning basketball, or POY at any level. Shaq might disagree :) Yep, point taken. But this kid ain't Shaq and he won't be playing with Kobe... Seriously, I look at three stats, teamwise, because I feel that if these 3 are positive you'll always have a good shot at winning. First, turnovers. Second, rebounding. Third, free throws. More games are won or lost at the free throw line than most of us realize. I believe free throw shooting was a major reason for the Bobcat's success this year.

I won't argue with your opinion here, but rather add to it by saying I'll put defense in the middle of all of that. I'm not an advance metrics follower, but being able to get stops when it matters, either at the end, or to stop a run, is one of the most important things in college basketball in my opinion.
