Orlando Sanchez

Would love for Sanchez to commit ASAP, would be great to have for two years.
I have no trouble with coach bringing in a JC or two each season.

Especially when rebuilding, JC players can play a nice roll. Look at Marquette. That said, Monroe plays tomorrow. My guess is that we won't hear about commits from these guys until after the JC champ games done. Could be wrong though.
 
Per Eric Bossi....

@ebosshoops: Orlando Sanchez was most intriguing guy for me today. Fluid and skilled. Not an alpha scorer, but capable of doing lots.

That is how I view Sanchez (in bold).

Let me elaborate. Bourgault reminded me of the style of those two players. They both played the three, were about 6' 6" played mostly without the ball in their hands, moved well without the ball, were spot up shooters from three and their primary purpose was to be complimentary players. I believe many good teams have role players like this on their roster.

Bourgault may have more talent, quickness and upside than either of those two players mentioned, but his role from what I could see today highlighted his complimentary skill set. Currently our roster has a void of spot up shooters at the three. Pointer and Garrett are stud athletes and bring many things to the table but adding a situational shooter to the roster is not a bad thing. Additionally Bourgault seemed to be an excellent passer and that is always valuable within the team concept.

I remember both Lyson and Luyck(RIP) as being taller. Pretty sure Lyson was listed at 6'7" and Luyck at 6'9". Of course they could both have been shorter then listed. Both were extremely slow, couldn't create thier own shot and didnt come anywhere close to thier advanced billing, unfortunately.

OK but with our coach and staff he could blossom into a star
 
Monroe up 31-26. Sanchez quiet so far. The one of their guards chucking a lot of shots during the part of the game that I saw.. Marco with a couple of buckets 

The other big guy ndour or whatever his name is has 10 its they just said on the broadcast

According to Rivals we have offered Ndour. See his thread in 2013 recruits.

Lyson was 6'6"
 
Tough loss for Monroe. The team they were playing is undefeated.

They play in a consolation game tomorrow I think they just said on the broadcast

But Sergio was a legit 6'-8".
 
 Per Zags....

St. John’s is targeting the Monroe (N.Y.) College duo of Orlando Sanchez and Marco Bourgault, but neither player is close to a decision.

The 6-foot-8 Sanchez is focusing on St. John’s, Providence and Auburn and plans to visit all three schools, Edgar De La Rosa, the former Manhattan assistant who has a relationship with Sanchez, told SNY.tv Tuesday.

I'm sure Harrison's going to love Bourgault's quote: "They don't have any shooters..." :dry:

From a team standpoint, I'd agree with Bourgault. He could certainly add to our shooting by coming on board.

Oh..I'm not saying I disagree, with D'lo is most definitely a shooter, and I would think some JC player saying something like that would piss him off a bit.

I think its a poor job of translating a foreign speaking player honestly.

I don't think Harrison will take it literally. We were last in the conference at shooting the deep ball. Everybody knows Harrison can shoot the deep ball. I'm pretty sure Harrison would love to not be the only deep threat on the team. It would open up better shots for him as well.
