Davenport West HS went to 6-2 with a 52-32 win over Clinton.
Nate West was the game's leading scorer with 18 points.
Wells narrowly missed a double-double when he was pulled early in the fourth quarter with the contest already in hand for West.

Nice story about Nate and the Davenport West win-

Their next game is Friday, 1/7 at Davenport Assumption.
 
Anybody know what Nate Wells numbers are now for the season? My unscientific monitoring seems to indicate he may be averaging a double double or near a double double plus (I'm assuming given last year's performance) a whole pile of blocks. I think he's even hitting FTs. Doesn't that seem like the kind of guy, given our problems, that maybe shouldn't redshirt?

Addressing the Nate Wells not redshirting comment.

We do know that many of our bigs had spectacular numbers in high school. I thought I remembered Sam averaging over 20 points and 10 rebounds.

I know AT didn't have gaudy numbers but he played for a good, good team.

So I mean 12 points per game from a 7'1" high school kid playing lame competition?
 
Does Iowa/QC qualify as "lame" competition? It's not so much the numbers I'm talking about, it's the "never played basketball" and "grew x inches" and went from virtually no points and no rebounds (but a bunch of blocks) in his junior year to a pile of both.

-- Incidentally Sam Singh wasn't a R/S candidate at Bradley and looked pretty good at times as a freshman (maybe better than he did later in his career at least in terms of potential) until his first Bradley injury shut him down.

ok it appears I may be taking the "lame" part back.

Davenport West is in the largest class. The team they play next is ranked 5th in 3A but plays a bunch of 4A teams like West. Davenport is unofficially ranked 17 in 4A.

It is nice to see rapid improvement.

I still don't get the SS traveling and missing layups though...:?

Before Singh got hurt he could jump, he could move and was if not injuried would have been a much bigger contributer especially in the Valley. Those two injuries kept his ceiling pretty much at what he got to his freshman year.
 
Yeah it is many years ago now and I wasn't as attentive a bradley fan as I am now.. But I remember being impressed with his athleticism as a freshman. I think the injuries have a lot to do with how he turned out.
 
oh I wondered what Nate Wells averages this season were.

too bad we didn't have 1 thread with all the updates! :mad::cry::badgrin:

That was the greatest idea I have ever had.
 
It seemed like a good idea, but it turned into a long thread with multiple discussions regarding all the BU recruits and that made it harder to track their performances.
 
I think that Sam would have contributed had he not been injured. He certainly had the bigger body type we'd like to see in our bigs and I think his athleticism is what suffered the most from his injuries.

I was thinking about how SS and WE are kinda similar in that regard. WE showed some great flashes in those 3 starts he had before getting injured. SS showed his potential as a freshman. Both get severely injured and are never are really able to take that next BIG step. We all remember the potential each showed when they last played and we just wait and wait for the next step to happen. That is, until you realize it is what is. Don't get me wrong, I think WE is a much better asset to this team. And to some extent he has made some improvements this year over last year I think. It's just that regardless of overall skill level, they led similar journeys throughout their BU individual careers. A little hype, show potential, severe injury, fans waiting for breakout performance, flashes of potential shown again but never reach the heights they could have without those injuries.

WE is the type of big I will take a chance on every time though. Athletic, leaper, has a nice stroke, and a pretty high ceiling. He still has some time and I really think his game only improves if TB is out there.
 
If WE could change two things he could be pretty good and those are he just needs to go hard to the rim and stop all this finessing stuff and number two is find a way to stay on the floor! He has talent!

BTW... I loved SS and is one of my all time favorites! You tell me after all his injuries how hard was it for him to play his last year. Now he showed us some heart.

I found some more accurate stats on Wells

He is averaging 12.4 points per game, 10.0 rebounds per game, and has a total of 27 blocks on the season. So Nate Wells is justtttt barely averaging a double-double.
