sorry, I'm a bit removed from BB recruiting up here in NYC. what position does Tasmin play? can anyone tell me a little about his game?
Tasmin Mitchell is a 6'7" small forward. He has a sweet shot and can fly. I think he's a lock for LSU because of Butch Pierre. He average between 20 and 25 points a game for Denham Springs this year. I think he will at least play one year at LSU>
He is a junior this year - will graduate May 2005... If this guy bolts this will be one of the biggest in-state hoops recruiting losses that I can remember... We NEED this dude....BAD!!!!!
He's not ready for the league from a mental standpoint...and his game ain't exactly getting "refined" by Paul Smith at DSHS... Denham-since losing head coach John Watson when I was a freshman in high school, has consistently hired poor replacements... But, like anything else, they use those athletic coaching positions to "branch" over to principal positions elsewhere in the Parish... Butch Wax, John Watson, Lloyd Wax, Kevin Pope... Poor coaching on Tasmin's part will preempt him from making the jump...That and his lack of weight...He's too thin right now to even be a Jermaine O'Neal type...
