Knecht

[Just a VolinTears]

Rewatched the exhibition (and, yes, IK it was just an exhibition), but Knecht looked really composed and seems like a guy (along with Santi) who will be able to hit threes to get us out of our inevitable 3-4 min field goal droughts. Love him out of the portal. BTW Gainey is just a SOPH so maybe he can stay a while.

I just watched it as well and he played very well. Nice to have a big man that can shoot. Overall, we don't have a weak shooting link on the floor.

We all know what we have in Santi, and if Ziegler can come back full strength and not be squeamish over his knee, we can possibly have a seriously potent offense, because that will take pressures off of Knecht to perform offensively and let the guards handle things better. Yeah, it was a EXH game, but State was sold out, and it was two top ten teams. No way they’re gonna play weak. Both teams looked really good. Excited to see how we turn it on this season.

Sure were a lot of turnovers, but I agree; both teams really put on a show. Knecht looks like he will be really good. The thing that most impressed me was his ability to create his own shot.

To be fair, we didn’t have ZZ nor SV, so our ball security was mostly non existent.

We will be able to stretch the defense from the three point line and create easier scoring opportunities for Aidoo and Awaka and Estrella inside.

How was Dalton not heavily recruited out of HS? Glad Barnes got this guy to KTOWN.

Some players make their mark in college not high school..hell Ja Morant went to Murray State...not heavily recruited either...

It was really bad, especially at the end. MSU nearly won the game because of it.

Two teams that will definitely score a LOT of points this year.

Watch this clip early and often!

That was an incredible play. He's a very good ball handler and passer that can shoot the lights out. What a great pickup out of the portal! Is this his last year of availability? It may not matter if he keeps playing like this game he'll be drafted for sure.

Yep, pretty sure he’s a 5th year senior, so let’s enjoy this year!

I think I read that he has grown 5 or 6 inches since high school.

I’m not sure how the additional year rules sort out, but he was at JUCO in 2019/20 and 2020/21. Then the next 2 years he played for Northern Colorado. This is his 5th year but I don’t know if it’s as a grad transfer or as an extra year due to COVID year.

If he’s here using the free COVID year this season, then he might be able to transfer again after this year and get a 6th year as a grad transfer.

Knect is a PLAYER!

How the heck did we get this guy? Who else recruited him? Man, he's the most athletic white guy we've had since John Fulkerson......lol

DK stated in his interviews that he needed to improve his defense and CRB was a perfect fit.

 

[Namorto1]

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he hits the 40+ pt mark at some point this year in a game. His jump shot is pure and when he gets hot, I'm not sure how you guard him given he can also put the ball on the floor, gets to the rim and gets to the FT line. We didn't even push the pace as much as Barnes wants yesterday due to Vescovi and Ziegler being out and still scored 89.

DK stated in his interviews that he needed to improve his defense and CRB was a perfect fit.

And CRB mentioned that during an in game interview. Lacking on defense but it will be hard to take his minutes away with his offensive prowess.

Played like a real team, unselfish, and they genuinely seem to like each other. Wait until Santi and Ziggy join the party!

We look legit. Beating MSU was no joke. That dunk was crazy, dude is a beast.

That’s not how that works, graduate transfer just means you don’t need a waiver to be eligible immediately to play, it’s not an extra year of eligibility. He is using his COVID year this year to be eligible, and he was eligible immediately because he was a graduate transfer.

My question is who is gonna push Knect to the bench? Plus Gainey lit it up from 3. Those two drive us to the opening lead. 18 points at one time! Different skill sets I know, but who thinks we jump on a team like that w ZZ and SV starting? This could be real good!

I think he was sold that he could be coached by the same coach his favorite player and one he models himself by (Kevin Durant)
