Ingram was 5'9" at best and had a push shot from his chest. Shamorie a lot taller, has high release, is a lot more fluid taking the ball to the hoop. Shamorie's game has zero similarities to Elijah Ingram except that they both play basketball.BTW those silly Kenny Anderson, Tiny Archibold and Brandon Jennings comparisons people were throwing around are not doing the kid any favors! Yea, but when has hype ever hurt an SJU player?

I want Ponds. He is the best player from our city. NYC has been really depleted of talent for a number of years now. I'll even extend it to all of NY...2015- Cheick Diallo (recruited), Thomas Bryant (he's crazy), Jessie Govan (wasn't interested), Tyler Lydon (no shot he was pure Cuse)2014- Isaiah Whitehead (recruited), Chris McCullough (He preferred Cuse), Terry Larrier (you all know I liked him a lot), Angel Delgado (SHU did great job recruiting him), Khadeem Carrington (SHU was a better fit)2103- Dakari Johnson (no shot), Jermaine Lawrence (was too crazy), Kentan Facey (project thin year for bigs)2012- DaJuan Coleman (no shot), Omar Calhoun (him and DLO would have been too much personality), Chris Obekpa (got him), Mike Tobey (not a good fit), Melvin Johnson (would have recruited the hell out of him but had no space)You just made a point I have been talking about for a long time Dave...How many of all those kids graduated from schools in NYC..? When they graduate, are they acknowledged nationally as being from NYC or are they associated from what ever basketball factory they actually finish at..?**McCullough left NYC after his Freshman year, he is not a product on NYC high school basketball
