Checked out that Legends Classic at Ambridge today and thought I would share my thoughts.
Geno- looked fluid with the ball in his hands, very good handle. Lincoln Park pressed the entire game, very few times he became flustered and turned the ball over. Very quick with the ball in his hands and getting to the hoop, problem today was when you try to finish over a 7 footer like watson, you're gonna have some troubles. His shoot seemed a bit off today, but he had a positive impact still. Also, he had a couple of really nice blocks on the defensive end, as he can really get up. Actually blocked Watson clean the one time, unreal to block a 7 footer like that.
Jeter- I thought he looked like a man amongst boys today if you ask me. Granted, Sharon was a smaller, quicker team who stuck to a zone for pretty much the entire game. But, Sheldon did it all. He scored frequently, knocking down 3's, hitting mid range jumpers, getting offensive putbacks. Rebounded like a machine, had some real nice blocks on the defensive end and also a couple of steals, which I think 2 he took coast to coast and finished very impressively.
I've seen Jeter a couple of times now this season, and he would be a great get for Chambers and staff. I feel he could have an immediate impact next year if we were to get him. Didn't notice any of our coaches there, which troubled me a little considering Pitt, Duquesne, Syracuse, and Temple were all represented throughout the day. Of course they were there for different reasons, but still it seemed like a golden opportunity to catch two of our recruits/targets on the same day/same place.
Little tidbit I'd like to share with you all that happened after the game. My dad went up to Sheldon's mother and told her that her son is a really nice player and that he enjoyed to watch him play in the area for the past 4 years. She was very grateful, and pointed to his Penn State shirt and said "That's a good school". Never hurts to hear something like that from the mother
