Rian Holland Class of 2013 Committed

[shockmonster]

When Rian was here, he was swishing shots from 21st and Hillside. Okay, that was an exaggeration. However, he had more than NBA 3-point, Mike Jones, type sharp-shooting range. His play on the court caught my eagle-eyes soon after I arrived to observe, as did skywalker Earl Watson.

I'm sure that he's already a very good outside shooter, but I would imagine that 34% from 3 pt. land isn't his ceiling if his coach is correct.

I'm at the airport and can't grab it on my mobile, but Dave Telep just had a tweet a couple hours ago regarding his reliable shooting. FYI if somebody wants to grab it.

Seen a lot of ball. Rian Holland is one of the most reliable shooters you'll find. Shockers pledge.

Maybe 34% from 3 is a typo mistake. His free throw percentage is in the 70's (77 I believe) too. Good but not great perimeter shooting numbers. By the way, I'm glad he's coming.

He's stepped up his game this AAU season, big time.

From the little I've seen, he has the green light from the time he crosses center court. Depending on coaching and the offensive abilities of his teammates, that percentage could vary wildly.

Scroll down to the last paragraph for some more scoop on Rian.

Also, Carl Hall is showing the type of dedication this summer to improve his game that will equate to solid Senior leadership this Season.

Rian is in Wichita this weekend. He was at the women's VB game last night.

@ripemupshocks: posted this on the Jeremiah Jefferson thread:

A great VB match for Ria'n to attend. Shocks played very well. The crowd (3,825) was the 2nd largest of the season and by far the most energetic crowd of the season. I nice warm-up for what he will experience tonight.

This would be his official visit.

This would be his official visit.

Speaking of such what entails an official visit? Does he get to sit in on pre game and half time "talks"? Does he meet faculty reps or what?

[SubGod22]

Official visit means WSU pays for it. The University I believe is limited to a certain number of them a year and HS recruits can take up to 5 different officials. Unofficials are paid for by the recruit/family and they can take as many of those as they want
