Exactly ! Remy along with VO & WS will the beginning off the end of theories like D Wade happened by chance and that regardless of who had coached him he would have turned out to be the kind of player he is. Of course we will always have a certain number of idiots that can find, what they feel like, is a legitimate reason to disagree.

When I watch a clip of the Ziegler kid, Diener & Novak, seem to be the first comparisons that come to mind. I’m in no way saying I have the eye for talent that CTC does but I can’t help but wonder if he doesn’t kinda see that too and is why he seems to be going after him so hard. If he ends up in a Hoosier uni we can only hope for that kind of outcome.

I saw them play twice and Remy makes everyone around him better .

Exhibits maturity and a sense of what will be expected of him. Looking forward to watching him on the 15th. Has to be a thrilling moment for him, CZ and AE.

I don’t know what Remy will do as a freshman but I think we’re all going to see why CTC is known as a guard/wing coach this year!  I think Will and Vic are going to come out and be huge for this team and dominant in some games.  Judging from CTC’s past (and by the way some of the intruders to the sight are nuts when they say CTC only won because he landed D Wade – we could name Diener, Wade, James, Novak, McNeal, etc.) his strength is recruiting and developing wings and guards and his teams have always been guard heavy.  His system fits that type player and I think that’s why he’s been good at recruiting guys who came in a bit under the radar then exploded on the scene in college.  I think we were starting to see that with Mo Creek before the injury and Will and Vic definitely showed they were diamonds in the rough last season.

I hope I’m right but Remy will probably be another in the long line of surprise CTC coached guards!

Should be very interesting to watch the development of this player.

Really think he’s under our radar. Will be a nice player to have around .
