Sacar Anim

[Boone]

Anim seems like a reach. Ricky Council looks like the better overall talent and safer bet to pan out.

He doesn't shoot many 3's  only 13 for the year making 4.....almost 80% from the free throw line though.....http://www.mnbasketballhub.com/stats/team_instance/874608?subseason=175794&tab=team_instance_player_stats&tool=1140465

Something is off on those stats though unless I am just completely out of it.

It says he is average 25.9 PPG through 13 games on 33/50 from the field and 23 free throws.

Don't need to do the math to know that isn't even close to possible.

H232 is right. Those stats can't possibly be right.

Yeah, I love the guy who has hit 1 FG and 0 FTs all season...and averages 3.4 PPG through 13 games.  Must've been one heck of a shot....

[brewcity77]

Maybe he gets bonus points for style?

Here's a link to his player page: http://www.mnbasketballhub.com/roster_players/6724339

Stats get thrown off because his point totals are entered for every game but not his fgm/fga. So the PPG is probably accurate while the percentages are not.

Only one service, but 247 has Anim ranked 174 and Council ranked 323. I'd be very happy w Anim, giving us a class of:(to this point)

PG: Noskowiak
SG: Anim
SF: Cheatham
PF: Ellenson
C:  Heldt

One man per position and all ranked 4/5 stars by ESPN. Yes please.

Yeah my thoughts were that the PPG were for the full season(has him at 337 pts which is correct) while the FG attempts were for the last handful of games.

No way a top high school SG is only taking 1 3 a game. Not really their mind set lol.

[Boone]

Wondering if Council's ranking hasn't been updated since his senior year. Regardless, I look more at the quality of schools each is being recruited by. Council's drawn interest from the likes of Providence, Tulsa and Creighton. Not world beaters, but a more impressive list than Anim and his list. Another red flag I see is that hometown UofM hasn't even offered Anim yet. Seems odd. We can do better.

Everybody has an opinion on Sacar and 99% of you have never seen him play.i would not read to much into who and who isn't recruiting him.It means nothing.

Actually, I believe that's the best way to determine how good a player is. If the elites are after a player, odds are he's pretty damn good. Conversely, if a bunch of low mid-majors are in on a player, I question how good he is.

Marquette, Creighton, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin are all recruiting Anim. None have offered. MU is also in a more flexible position since we still have 3 open spots for next season.

I get your point but some of our best players were not recruited by "elites" or even top 25-50 programs out of high school.

Jimmy was a qualifier out of high school...only high major to show interest was Miss State...and they didn't offer...Crowder had no high major offers out of high school....We beat out Depaul and Illinois state for Wade....DJO wasn't highly recruited out of high school.......Tony Smith wasn't highly recruited....ditto for Tony Miller

Could he be a washout:? Sure...but really so could anyone else we sign.

That's a very solid list. I'm sure he's a fine player. Just hope he can hit a jumper consistently.

I seem to remember Kentucky recruiting JFB. But you raise a good point. Talented players can always slip through the cracks.

[PGsHeroes32]

The leading scorer in D1 plays for Eastern Washington and was recruited by no one as well.

Sure, he doesn't play the greatest competition but he also isn't a product of chucking it on a bad team. Shooting 51% as a guard and mid 40s from deep.

It definitely isn't all about who is in on you. Anim has been rising late and has a very nice game. Jarvis Johnson on his own team was a McDs AA finalist and Anim scores 10 more per game than Jarvis. Granted completely different games but still...

If we get him Id be more than happy seeing if he pans out.

[Jay Bee]

As mentioned earlier, I think it's important that in a lot of ways Anim would be a good fit for Wojo - at this stage of the game (relative to Wojo's tenure) that may be all the more important here.

Sacar's development under the current staff would be a helpful measuring stick for me as I analyze them.

Re: the 3-point shooting, stats, etc comments.. I'll share a few pieces of info re: the last two years of EYBL play.

Playing up 2 years ago:
- 60% minutes - this was when Tyus Jones and Reid Travis led the team (Howard Pulley)
- 97 ORtg, 14 to 15%-ish usage and %Shots. Role player.
- 44.5% eFG. 27% of FGA's were 3's. 48.1% 2FG, 23.3% 3FG (7/30).
- 14% turnover rate
- FTrate 47%; FT% 68.6%.
- Steal% 2.1% (FC/40 3.4)

This summer:
- 65% minutes
- 109 Ortg; 25% Usage; 23% Shots. Pulley had difference guys step up depending on the game, but Sacar was always a top option.
- 46.2% eFG%. 23% 3FGA/FGA. 48.5% 2FG;  25.6% 3FG (10/39).
- <12% turnover rate
- FTRate 56%; FT% 75.3%
- Steal% 1.8%

PS - not directly related, but had a dream that Jamal Murray reclassed to '15 and came to MU.

[tower912]

Bottom line, Jay Bee, would you like to see him at MU?  (I get the sense that you do).   Make the case either way.   I really appreciate your insight on this recruit.

Kentucky did recruit him but that was after a year of Juco not out of high school......

[MuMark]

Maybe he can shoot......

Whoever signs Sacar Anim, whether it's DePaul, Marquette or some other high level school, is getting a STEAL.

Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski was at DeLaSalle HS yesterday. Has his eyes on Sr. Sacar Anim. Still no sense the #Gophers will offer.

[Jay Bee]

De also played a tough team on Friday night (St. Croix Lutheran) and beat them 61-47. Sacar had 18 to lead the team in scoring. Intriguing 2017 Goanar Mar had 14.

#24 got some up close views. smh

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

With limited prospects left, and 3 scholarships, potentially more, needing to be filled, I wouldn't be surprised if Wojo offered him soon.
