'14 JUCO SG Devon Baulkman

[Stoked]

Almost identical numbers to Dmontre Edwards coming out of JUCO

Edward should have had minutes IMO you've said so yourself.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I thought the same thing. Might be a little more athletic than DM.

Yea, definitely appears to be.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Yea I thought he should've played over Q or Reese, but he didn't, not sure of your point?

Definitely not a guy to celebrate getting.....hopefully it works out for us.

He must have stayed at JUCO three years and redshirted his true freshman year. He's HS class of 2011. Don't see guys stay JUCO that long very often.

Yea that's what threw me off, you don't hear about guys spending 3 years at JUCO, I guess he could've came out last year technically?

 

[calban]

He was reached out to by those schools, but not offered, meaning they didn't think he was good enough. Not bashing the kid, but we've all seen the recruited by lists that came with guys like Yemi and Pops.

Don't think Pops or Edwards were on any top 50 lists.
If listed by ranking he's top 10 on most.

 

[johnnybravo]

So is he a one year guy?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

So is he a one year guy?

No he's a JUCO, 2 years

Shoulder injury in there somewhere. still working on his timeline.

He was on preseason lists, which means?

Where did he end up on post season lists?

I'm with you on this one. Makes me kinda worried.

Idk I just thought it was a shot at Baulkman for saying his numbers were identical I Edwards coming out since Edwards didn't really contribute.

Still working on his time line. wouldn't add too much salt to that crow foot just yet.

Not a shot, just saying people acting like those are great numbers need to realize they're pretty common numbers for JUCO, that's all.

Load her up!

He wasn't on the njcaa all-American first, second, third team or honorable mention. That list contains about 50 names.

How dare Coach Tyndall sign a player without the VolNation's approval! :banghead2:

True that. The 48 points in one game sticks out a little. But I don't put much into JUCO scoring stats. I do think that Punter's fg% and Ft% can translate to the next level though.

 

[volbeast33]

No reason to be worried....u get a few guys like this when u have just a few weeks to recruit. CDT obviously likes his potential and this class overall is solid for a first class. His second class will be more telling of the kind of recruiter he is.

The 48 burst is impressive, and what gives me hope.

I'm sure those numbers will go down slightly for Punter, much better competition.

Thats what Volnation is for....Its to give our opinion of the Vols and the moves we make. Its not called DonnieTyndallnation. LOL

Yeah they'll go down but I doubt his free throw percentage really goes down?

 

[calban]

According to Tyndall, Baulkman can play all 3 guard positions. His 2nd PG?

 

[JettVol]

I think he'll share some time at PG. BTW, Thompson was our former 6'5 PG, but not nearly as athletic. Seems like Baulkman had solid assist numbers though.

yea seems like CDT wants to have to most athletic team on the floor he can have, this guy looks like a real high motor guy, seems like most of his recruits have that quality.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I would expect it to. Playing tougher opponents leads to your legs being more exhausted thus making ft more difficult. I would also say shooting FTs in a JUCO arena with 500 people watching is a bit less nerve racking than at Rupp with 25k rednecks screaming at you.

 

[Volfan2012]

He was a first team All-State Georgia player out of High School in 2010-2011 average 21 ppg and 8 rebounds. If 247 was rating him I feel he would be rated as high as Jordan Cornish.
