Symir Torrence commits to MU!

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

Dang he looks good.   Been a while since we have had that type of player

[Daniel]

Can he sign his NLOI fall 2019?

[MuMark]

yes like every other 2020 kid he can sign in the fall.......if he chooses to reclassify he can sign in the spring.

What's the talent level in the league he plays in?

What's the talent level in the league he plays in?

Same league as Brewster Academy, where Deonte Burton played for a bit (and has a string of D1 commits). New Hampton School is in their league too, and has a couple D1 commits every year. Vermont Academy (where Symir is going to school) is in the same boat.

I would consider their competition to be tough for a HS basketball league. Definitely a few bball magnet schools. Brewster is a powerhouse.

Kid looks like his body is already developed - unlike skinny guys like Elliot & Cain who came in needing work in the weight room.

Sure does.

Wonder if it's just me, and I don't pretend to know sports medicine...but is Symir putting extra load on his ankles or knees with the manner by which he elevates on his jumper? He shoots from a really wide base, and even bows out his legs a bit on he way up. He doesn't do it on his drives/ rim attacks. Just elevating on the 3ball. I'm definitely nit-picking, but I would just hope he doesn't put extra strain on his body. Is this something Brett Nelson would try to change? Our program seems to emphasize body physics and efficiency, and I just wonder if anyone picked up on it and if it matters at all. Would love to hear someone's thoughts...maybe if his body is just designed that way, they would let it be, as "fixing" it would lead to more load and strain.

The kid looks like an absolute winner, loves to get others involved despite his own skills scoring the rock.

I agree. Other than the eccentric way he elevates on his J, he has a strong, efficient way of moving, especially through traffic. BigEast ready.

BigEast ready.

It starts with mastering what you can and cannot say when a BE official runs you from the game for no apparent reason.

[Silkk the Shaka]

Nah

Are you hearing he's staying another year in HS? Just trying to read your tea leaves, maybe I'm way over-thinking it
