Remy Abell

[kyxu]

Holy shit, I completely forgot this guy will be playing next season. Actually, forgot he was even on the team.

We are loaded.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

Well yeah, according to those who are in the know he is the best player in practice. Just like Travis Taylor before him.

[RealDeal]

Per Mack on Monday, he's the best athlete on the team.

[xu82]

I just had to look...... admittedly a small sample size but he made 48.5% of his 33 threes and a 75% FT shooter in 2012/13. Add that to the other scorers coming in and this could get exciting!

[mistabeecee41]

possible wing rotation of abell/bluiett/j-mart/macura/richards. plus sumner is supposedly a 1/2, throw him into the mix and i've got a semi.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Mack was saying that Abell used to have epic defensive battles against Victor Oladipo last season at IU practices. He should be an excellent defender.

Awesome another round of practice warrior posts. #pagingjeffrobinson

Im guessing Richards won't be here. Most likely transfer candidate(along with a potential Semaj exit). Seen Abell up close a few times, Freak athlete, very good jumpshot. Always in the gym working

[bleedXblue]

Then this begs the question why IU decided to part ways with him. I'm sure he will be a nice addition to the team, but lets not do this again ala Travis Taylor and Jalen Reynolds.

2nd best, behind Semaj

When was Jeff Robinson ever awesome in practice? Sincere question, I honestly can't remember hearing that. Now, Adrion Graves on the other hand...

[GoMuskies]

I recall that Jordan Crawford was supposedly relatively decent in practice while sitting out. I don't believe it, though.

[MADXSTER]

Sato was said to be in that catagory when he had to sit out.

[GoMuskies]

James Posey was the best player in intramurals the year he had to sit out.

[94GRAD]

Steve Gentry was the best shooter I've ever seen (at O'Conner)

[THRILLHOUSE]

Sato was said to be in that catagory when he had to sit out.

??? Sato never sat out. Started day 1 and had the XU's first basket at Cintas.

[xu 89]

didn't frey have the first basket and sato had the first 3 at cintas?

edit..nevermind. i am incorrect

[MADXSTER]

??? Sato never sat out. Started day 1 and had the XU's first basket at Cintas.

You are correct. Meant Posey

[Muskeagle]

If we're going all intramurals.....Coach Mack was a BEAST in intramurals and pick up games at O'Connor the year he sat out. I know I got dunked on numerous times.

[LA Muskie]

Not only that, but when Byron noted that Semaj was on the team, Mack made emphasized that Remy was the best athlete on the team (and implied it wasn't a close call). I'm excited. So sue me.

[X-man]

Abell was the best player at Musketeer Madness. I won't be surprised to see him start or be the first off the bench next season.

[X-band '01]

Sato was said to be in that catagory when he had to sit out.

You're not confusing him with Lionel Chalmers, are you? Chalmers sat out his frosh year as a partial qualifier.

[Fireball]

There's an Indiana fan here where I work, and he's pretty pissed that Indiana couldn't keep him.

I think we're going to be pretty happy with what we get out of Abell.

[SpectorJersey]

I dont think he had that good of a relationship with Crean, his best friends on the team were Oladipo and Zeller who left, and I believe he thought Crean was trying to over recruit him. At the very least he would have been a solid bench player for them this year and possible starter. Hard to get minutes over Oladipo his first 2 years. After he left IU ended up bringing in Eric Gordons brother as a 5th year transfer and he plays quite a bit.

[Milhouse]

One of my best friend's in an IU grad and is also disappointed that Abell left. He's the kid that lives in the Gym and is infectious with his positive attitude. Said he probably could've been a solid 6th man with 20 mins a game this year but left once Oladipo and Zeller went pro.

In terms of him being a Freak Athlete....His cousin is some guy named Bo Jackson?

So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

And Wilma Rudolph is his aunt? Those are some serious genes.

To be fair, Abell was a legit talent from a high-level D-I program. I wouldn't go comparing him to Jeff Robinson, who was a relative unknown and taken by Xavier in a pinch after a coaching change.

I'm not doubting he has talent (he was recruited by the "Great" Tom Crean after all). I'd just like to see how he meshes with the pieces we have in a game situation (Musketeer Madness notwithstanding) before declaring him a starter or first off the bench.

Let's also be honest. This board and other Xavier boards have been full of "best player" in practice posts for years. I was just poking a little fun.

I hope Remy is better than Jordan Crawford and Tu Holloway combined.
