RE: Top Players

Egbert will be an excellent College player. The kid's 6'8", long arms, big hands, good frame, excellent hands... but he's 18 and not fully developed physically. By the time he's 20 he'll have another 20 lbs on him, be stronger, have much better balance, grown into those feet so to speak, and he may even still have another inch or two of growth in him (David Robinson was 6’7” his freshman year at Navy). What you're seeing in him now is a not fully matured specimen whose been seasoned by playing against equals or betters, what you'll see when he's 20-21 is a developed and seasoned full grown man. No, I don't think he'll be Ronny Truffaut but I think he'll be a quality baller at Idaho and it’s a scholarship well spent. On a side note, a thing that cracks me up about all the ‘DI recruit’ stuff on these boards is this thinking that how good one is or who they’re better than means they’ll be a DI player. 99% of 'DI' basketball recruits anointed on here are 99% bullcrap. Hanson from NWCc, for example, is a better technical player than Egbert and if I were drafting a HS team I'd pick Hanson before Egbert but Hanson does not have the potential Egbert does at the next level so if'n I was recruiting Egbert would get the scholarship. Egbert has one of the most if not the most raw athletic/physical potential I’ve seen from a big in the Bs going back a long ways. The kid’s got the physical potential now it will come down to the mental/discipline/desire deal as to how good a finished basketball product he becomes. Good luck to him and I hope to see him down the road at the Kibbie Dome.
