Well, I'll take Shyatt's opinion and my opinion over your opinion 9 times out of 10 and twice on Tuesday(no offense). Shyatt said he has the most potential out of any of his recruits in the same class with Josh Adams. I've watched him practice and he can shoot it. It's my opinion he's one of the best outside shooters on the team. When I've watched him practice only Riley and Granberry we're hitting more shots then him.
Yes, right now he's a defensive liability because he's skinny. I still think people will be eating their words about Haldorson as soon as he gains some weight. He's a gifted athlete.
The problem is in my eyes,
How many guys develop into big-time or even serviceable players after not being that for 2 plus years already? If a guy is going to be able to play at this level, usually you will see glimpses of that in games by the end of their sophomore year or at least trust him enough to play him for 4 minutes in the first half. I can't recall too many players who were absolute non-factors their first two years on campus who ended up developing into quality D1 players their last 2 years. I hope I am wrong. Next season is only 8 months away, how much will change between now and then?
