No, was not able to get it on my mobile. Nichols can handle the ball better than anyone we now have and he is a legit 6'6. I hope Lavin and staff are not sleeping on him!

he played well.
best jumper on the team?
My fault MainMan I should have been more clear. I was referring to his jump shot. At least his form looks better than any current guy on our roster.
In terms of jumping ability id say hes behind garret and Dom but may be ahead of Mo.
I think the best jumpers on the team are Harrison and Greene. Mo is third only because he doesn't follow through with his wrist. Garrett's jumper is fair right now but needs a little work. Nobody giving credit to Gift though, who has been making his midrange shots regularly. As far as Wood, he has good looking form. Some of the best we've had. He just needs to zero it in and make it like second nature.

Not sure if this was mentioned but at the Mountain Hoops Classic recently DW was a scoring machine and the video Moose provided was indicative of the potential he has as a shooter.
The review said:
"Darrick Wood is a 6'4 scoring guard who passes all the look test of high major basketball player. Darrick is smooth,can shoot it, has good height length and amazing jumping ability. Originally from Washington, Dc Wood, was ranked the #2 player in his state by Espn and is now committed to St.Johns university.
Now playing for Bridgton Academy an all post-graduate school, Wood led his team in scoring averaging 29.5 points per game at the Hoop Mountain Classic. This was the most out of any player to play more then one game (34 vs Mont clare Academy and 25 against Marinapolis Prep)."

chances hes a top 100 hundred player by the spring?
I say he is
I say he is
He was 102 the last time the rankings came out.
Can't wait to see him play Friday night and all through this weekend.
I think he'll certainly be top 100 next time rankings come out. He's dropping 25-35 per game in the NEPSAC which is nothing to sneeze at. He does it on drives to the hoop as well as outside shooting which is great. Now we need a few more top 100 kids in this class and we're set.

Really hope it had nothing to do with Lavin's health issues and more with that he is just unsure.

Despite decommitting from St. John's, Darrick Wood tells me he has the Red Storm as his favorite. "I still consider STJ my top school."
