I've seen Nixon play about the same. He's got pretty decent size for what he does. Legit 6'6/6'7. Very pretty outside shooting touch. A little soft inside, but he's still a junior in high school. His frame has some muscle and I expect him to be much more solid by the time he plays at BYU. I'm very curious to see how he does at the next level. I could see him as good as a Lee Cummard, potentially. But I could also see him like more of a Shane Knight.

Sounds like he's just like his dad.

Or a Kevin Nixon.

Edit: looks like indy beat me to it.

Exactly, why didn't I think of that?

All I remember about his dad was that he had a big butt and he could shoot.

FWIW, I was a big Kevin Nixon fan back in the day.

Me too. He came to my mission farewell.

I just watched it, again, and had to laugh at Roger Reid (1:55 mark) and his immense pit stains (hey, it was a tense game!) which almost intersect, nearly creating a Venn diagram on his shirt.

I just watched it without reading your additional comment and was about to post the same thing. Wow. Disgusting.

You see Santiago come over and give him a big hug right into the teeth of the stains. Nasty.

That brings back lots of memories, of my time in Provo. What is the name of the kid with almost-high top fade @ the 0.46 mark? He use to show up with Nick Sanderson, and occasionally one of the Reid brothers to play basketball at Orem High on Saturday mornings, in the off season. He had crazy hops, but generally just turned into a 3 point chucker.

Edit: I'm sure Doh'Nuts rocked a shirt like the guy in the first row @ 1:13 mark, back in the day.

Dave Rose, Mark Pope and Tim Lacomb made a visit to Payton Dastrup last night.

The longer this drags out the more nervous I get. It seems like we should have had Peyton committed by now . . .

Wow, three recruits top 50 guys over the next two years in the bag. Likely one more with Dastrup and potentially two more with Chapman (though it sounds like a long shot). Who's the last top 50 recruit we've had? Tyler Haws maybe? Was he even top 50?

Tyler Haws wasn't top 100. He may not have been top 200.

Tyler was 51st at his position according to ESPN, but they also gave him a scout's grade of 88. That's the same as Emery and higher than Dastrup or Haws the Younger. Weird.

ESPN has overhauled its basketball grading system you dork. Those numbers aren't apples to apples. Now it's closure to the football numbering system.
