Jin Soo was certainly one of the players we were looking forward to see most here in Worcester, but unfortunately he only played sparingly in SouthKent's two wins over the weekend. He played only in brief spurts, never really seeming to get in rhythm out there on the court. The Korea native did nothave the confidence that he displayed last year as a freshman in California, which might have to do with the fact that he's playing on a team stacked withno less then 12 division one college players, and he is the youngest on the team.

In his limited playing time, Kim showed that he truly is a small forward at a legit 6-foot-9. He showed flashes of potential, especially when he knocked downtwo three pointers (one from a stand still, one off the dribble) in the last two minutes of South Kent's win over Massanutten Military Academy. He has asweet stroke from beyond the arc, but showed little else in his sparse playing time this weekend. The sophomore wing seemed to struggle on the wing againstsmaller, quicker players making one wonder how he is going to be able to defend at the collegiate level. He was also incredibly passive, literally forcingSouth Kent coach Ralph Chillious to yell at him to shoot the ball, in which he missed badly.

It was clear to all in attendance that Kim was a very talented player, but just didn't seem to have the confidence and/or fit in the with prep school styleof play. It seemed like he would fit in much better at a school where he would be able to be the focal point of the offense (like he was in California lastyear), which would allow him to gain confidence in his game so fans could truly see how talented the young Korean actually is. Either way, we were stilllooking at a 6'9 small forward, with high major potential written all over him.

Next: Recruiting for my Terps will be Poo Poo with JTIII getting anything over/under and surrounding the DC area Radar...
Gary better start recruiting those 23+ year old brotha's on the Street courts who never got a chance to go to College...

He can get AT LEAST 2 years of playing time before they get kicked out of school
