Question for Shocker fans in the know re Garrett Stutz

[WuDrWu]

The good Lord has blessed Garrett with an awful lot of talent. It's all up to Garrett what he does with it.....if he gets 75% of what Paul got, he'll be a freaking stud.

To know the true potential of a "big-man" is to know one of the great secrets of the world.

Paul was a dual-sport recruit at WSU and had a spot on Oklahoma's basketball roster if he wanted it. There were those that obviously saw a lot of potential in him.

Paul is very well proportioned and I don't know if Garrett will ever achieve his speed. Like coach said, I think Garrett is going to carry nearly 280+lbs when it's all said and done and be a bruising center, versus Paul, who was more of a finesse center.

I saw Paul this summer as well and he is still getting better. He looks and plays like a true professional.

Hopefully PM can work with GS in the off seasons and show him some of those Pro moves.

Don't forget that fans were calling Paul fifi even at some points during his senior year. I looked at the stats and he only played 3 games as a true frosh before getting hurt. He averaged 17.7 min, and had a total of 12 points 6 rebounds - so looks like Garret should break these marks easily.

As a redshirt freshman, he started 23 of 30 games, averaged 20 minutes, 7.4 pts and 4.7 boards. I think Garrett could carry numbers like this as a true freshman, maybe better.

That's what I was looking for! 7.4 pts, 5 boards in 20 minutes.

Let the comparisons begin!

Stutz opens the bidding at 9 points and 5 boards in 19 minutes.

I agree with what HGCM said about Garrett. We won't see his full potential until he develops a "growl'!

Like Paul he seems to be a smart player and should be very coachable.

I love his ability to go with either hand around the basket, and what a nice touch he has for such a big man.

Right now, in additon to needing more "growl" he needs to work hard on his footwook.

We need to keep in mind he is still just a Baby in College Basketball terms. It is going to be very interesting and entertaining watching him develop.

Go Garrett! :goshocks:
