[Bob Knight]

I havent seen a hole lot of basketball but I know the best point guards to come outof sheldon clark are Shane Stafford a cople years ago and the Crum kid they have now. both of these kids are pure shooters and can play some ball. they could get scholarships to big schools if there coach woulda helped them.

Before Spud's career is over @ SC I think he'll definately establish himself as the best to ever come from Sheldon Clark. Daniel Cornette was limited physically but his toughness, heart and headiness made him very effective running the show. Clayton Wells was a physical specimen as well as Tiller but they weren't really PG's. Scott Davis was very good but he left his senior year and was more of a 2 as well. Stafford was very gifted but injuries really hampered him. The 83 Region title team had a couple of very good gds in Greg Preece and Jon Jon Kirk not sure which of those 2 played the point too young. I did play w/them after they graduated and out of all these guys I think Kirk was the best.
Spud has all the tools necessary to dominate a game from the point. He can flat out shoot the ball as good as anyone I've ever seen up to 20ft including Ervin Stepp, he just hasn't done it in official games yet, but he will. He can handle as good or better than anyone I've played with or against. He has lightning speed and quickness and a good knowledge for the game. Plus the kid has a passion for the game and strives to be the best which can't be taught and has to come from within. What he lacks is size(doesn't need it), strength(will work to get it), toughness(scared to take a charge, which he better get it) and cockiness( to realize he can't be guarded). He shows flashes of brilliance at times and has really played well of late and is getting his teammates open looks by driving,drawing and dishing which he wasn't doing early in the season. He's a terrific young player and freaking outstanding kid who'll only get better, I look forward to watching him play and beat my like a drum at 1on1 for atleast the next 6 years.:thumb:
