Noah Fernandes 6'0 PG 2019 a Shocker!

[Topshock]

On a list of things it does not complete, next year's signing class is at the top of that list.

[Aargh]

This is the first potential PG out of HS that I've liked since VanVleet. Assist numbers say he's really a PG. All the services say he's really a PG. Holland, Taylor, and Henderson were all "guards" , and none of them were able to convert to being a true PG at this level.

We've got plenty of "combo guards". This is what the 2019 class really needed. One year with Torres and then take over as a Soph.

I was thinking 'Lomax' might have been that guy, but that didn't end well...

I’m thinking Burton and this guy will have the PG duties nailed down for the next 4-5 years.

On a list of things it does not complete, next year's signing class is at the top of that list.

Considering that (a) no one has signed yet, and (b) the number of times since he's been at WSU Marshall has recruited past what we on the outside thought to be the magic 13, there's good reason to believe that will turn out to be true.

1-3 players on the current roster are more then likely not going to get a satisfactory level of playing time and will transfer out.

Not my first, or even second choice, but trust in 3G's assessment / judgement.

Was not Isaac Brown the lead recruiter on Gordon as well?

Gregg Marshall's winning ways lands point guard of the future

I'm liking what they are saying about this kid. But I think he'll have to work on that step-back jumper. Looks like travelling to me.

“I play the game with a lot of passion and at the end of the day, all I want to do is win,” Fernandes said.

IIRC correctly Fred also liked to use "the end of the day" phrase.

[SHOCKvalue]

Yeah I like this kid as FVV v2.0. Looks and sounds the same, in many regards. Also, seems like a fairly decent analog to our lost Lomax.

[Bluzrover]

In a reply to my tweet, Taylor sure makes it sound like Marshall and company were really targeting this young man so there may be something to the FVV comparisons, at least in terms of being a real leader and PG of a championship-level college BB team. If anything, there is so serious competition at the PG spot in a year with Burton, Torres and now Fernandez in the lineup. I like it, I like it a lot!

[Shockadaisical]

[ShockingButTrue]

What I missed most about FVV was his defensive genius. I'm hoping this kid can replicate some of that.

[Dan]

Fred also had a very stout body. Noah is gonna have to hit the weights/protein shakes to be like Fred. He's on the lean side, which can lead to getting pushed around in D1. He'll need the next year to bulk up for sure.

I think Burton is a guy who can play point and make plays as needed... But his natural position is off the ball... But it's nice having a guy that can make plays and score at both positions if need be
