Did you go to Hoopfest on Friday? I think we got something special in Jackie Carmichael. Nope, no longer living in Normal, but I have heard that Carmichael could really contribute and that he is fantastic off the dribble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep he looked awesome huge and athletic, and anyone who could hang with Osiris in a dunk contest is obviously special. Carmichael jumped from about a foot in front of the free throw line to score a 50, but then Osiris matched it by jumping over someone.

RockRaines Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 10:34 AM) Since I watched them both in high school, would be nice to watch Turner and Lenzelle play together for a year. What are your thoughts on Lenzelle? I have never seen the kid play. Turner is going to play PG for the Bucks this year which should be interesting.

kjshoe04 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Also the last time they played ISU had a terrible team while the Illini were good and the game went to OT. Anyone that thinks that ISU had no chance to beat Illinois the last two years is delusional. I would go as far to say ISU would have been the favorites at Redbird arena.

Turner is going to play PG for the Bucks this year which should be interesting. I love Lenzelle's game. When you look at him, he doesn't look like much of an athlete, but he is. He is one of the best rebounders I have seen. He is so hard to box out. He is like a short Rodman. As a sophomore, he was also a deadly shooter from outside. Even the first month of his junior year. I was at the game he scored 39 vs. Warren as Paul dropped 20. Lenelle had 8 treys that game. He has a great touch around the bucket as well. He'll throw up a shot, off balance, from 10 feet, and make it look easy. I just felt Lenzelle regressed a bit as a junior. He was awesome as a sophomore. This will be a big year for him because Zion is HIS team now. He played with a bunch of kids older than him since he was up as a freshmen, but now he will be the focus of the other team. Big target on his back. Obviously the Big 10 will be tougher than the North Suburban Lake Conference. I'm curious how close he was to transfering to Waukegan to play with Richmond. That team would of gone undefeated and won state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
