man, ya'll tripping! correct me if i'm wrong, but ain't a "decent" midrange shot considered an "outside shot"? matter fact, isn't a "horrible" outside shot still an "outside shot"? omg, all i said is that "he has" an outside shot. i didn't say it was great, horrible, decent, or otherwise. man, sometimes i think ya'll just look for stuff to complain about no mater how "trivia" it is... No A mid-range shot is taken from the area of the court between the three-point line and the paint. It's too close to the basket to be a three-pointer, but too far away to be a layup or floater. Synergy classifies two-point jump shots as either short or medium. But in saying that the distinction can be lost in terminology. So I'll agree to disagree with what an outside shot is called. unbelievable!! i'm not even gone waste my time. you win!! smdh... |

To me, have it in your arsenal. As there will be a game where one could “eat “ off midrange, until getting adjusted on.
I just want to see who added a shot from over the summer. Oft hand work, floaters ect, and let’s face it, a 3-ball.
I’m excited about it. Can you imagine a Confident Nick hooping… I can’t say that Corbett would go crazy, but it got crazy on a breakaway.

You are stretching it as to outside shot. I think I saw one outside shot which he made. You can't get anything from that. If he could shoot well from the outside we would have seen that in the highlights the way these tall kids love to call themselves stretch 5 these days. I am not commenting about any of these kids or Coach Ross until I see some out of conference games. I don't know if Coach Ross is any better at using big men as previous coaches. I can wait and see. What I can say is that I like the improvements over last year's team. look, didn't i say that this is the first time i've seen him play? so what's the big deal if "i" came away from that video with the impression that he has an "outside shot"? i didn't say he is the next coming of "steph curry"! but you make it sound as if i said the man is an "outstanding" outside shooter. i didn't say that. i said he has an outside shot, meaning he has respectable shooting mechanics which makes him a legit threat to shoot from the outside, unlike murphy. however, did i say he was a "high percentage" outside shooter? of course i didn't, but you act like i did. man, i can always depend on certain folk to make a "mountain out of a molehill" over something that's so trivia. all i said was that he "has" an outside shot, but you took that and ran with a narrative that i said he's an "outstanding" outside shooter and i never said that. omg...  There is no big deal on this issue. You have your opinion and I have mine based off of watching the same video. Bottom line is I hope he does well coming back from a serious injury regardless if he has an outside shot. My coaching experience came out on my reply to your post where I made recruiting highlight videos for my son and players to send to college coaches. To me that video does not show how well he can shoot from the outside. My first sentence was addressed to you, but everything else was my critique of the video from what I thought about his outside shooting and I got nothing out of the video because he only took one outside shot. Of course you are going to put the one he made in the highlight video. Just my observation. |

Just my observation.  where did i say "ANYTHING" about "how well" he can shoot from the outside? all i said was that he has an outside shot. well, hail!! "all" basketball players have an outside shot, but that doesn't mean all basketball players can shoot like steph curry. look, this is ridiculous! you're making a "mountain out of a molehill" just because i said the dude has an outside shot. didn't say he had a "good" outside shot, didn't say he had an "awful" outside shot, just that he has an outside shot. but what do you take from my "vague" statement? that somehow i was proclaiming that he's a "superior" outside shooter, which i "did not say". so your argument is that he does not have an outside shot? that he is not "capable" of shooting an outside shot? like i said, you're making a "mountain out of a molehill", smdh... |

Are you serious? Everyone knows what you meant when you said "he has an outside shot". So you had to watch a video before you could determine whether a player that plays college basketball is physically strong enough to shoot the basketball from "outside" the paint? My mom and maybe my grandmother can shoot the basketball from outside the paint, but let me make sure you know that I did not say that they are good at it. Oh by the way, what about when someone says "he can rebound"? Are we to assume that this does not mean that that person believes the player is a decent or good rebounder? Oh what about we say "that QB can pass or run"? Does that mean nothing about the QB's running or passing ability? I hope that if a kid plays QB that he can physically run and throw the football. Your simplification of the statement "he has an outside shot" after all those positive praises you gave the young man is ridiculous, just so you can avoid agreeing with me that there is not enough game video to determine how well the player can shoot outside. My post never stated he was a poor, good, or great shooter either, so I have no idea why you are doing this to yourself. Relax and hope that he and the team have a good season. |

Relax and hope that he and the team have a good season. not gonna "waste" my time anymore. i said he has an outside shot and he does. you can take that statement and turn it into whatever da hail you want to turn it into. make assumptions, put your own words in it, don't matter. i firmly stand by what i said, point blank, period, full doggone stop. meanwhile, you can define what an outside shot means anyway that you want but you'll be talking about "your definition", not mine. can't believe you take 5 words and turn it into something entirely different... |

I did the same research and came up with the same player. He could be interesting. Let's hope for the best Welp, it's not Samodurov. |

Kalliontzis had originally signed with LaSalle last fall but got his release from them earlier this year after redshirting, entered the portal, and committed to us. He was a teammate with Chitikoudis on the Greek U19 National team this past summer.
From the LaSalle website:
"A 6-10 center/forward, Kalliontzis has extensive international experience and played for the Greek U18 National Team at the FIBA U18 European Championships in 2022 and 2023. This past summer, he averaged 4.3 points over three games, including seven points and three rebounds in an 88-83 win over Italy.
Last season in the Greek U18 league, he averaged 21 points and 12 rebounds per contest. He is playing high school in the United States at The Hoosac School in New York."

He's 6-11. Met him in person at our AAF student cookout. From Recruit the Bronx- "Efstratios Kalliontzis (2024) 6’11 center (La Salle University commit) - This Greek big man is a rebounding machine on both ends of the floor. Very good at positioning himself on both ends of the floor and getting involved in every rebound. He is strong, and likes contact. He has a high IQ, and is a pass first center who loves to make plays for his teammates."www.recruitthebronx.com/index.php/news/news_details/www.connecticutelitebasketball.com |

You never have enough scores. We can play inside out instead of outside in more players will get involved and you would have less standing around by the Biggs.A motion offense would be ideal with the size we have in the paint and the speed we have at the guard positions. |
