The Next Big Thing: Rashad Colbert PT.1

Where to start? Well maybe with the fact that he is atleast a Malcolm Lee type and skill level player, but for now let's get to know him shall we?

Rashad Colbert, a 5'11 160 pound PG could end up being All-Conference or even a Top-10 PG, Rashad is a Celtics and Rajon Rondo fan, who works to get what he deserves, the thing is he hasn't gotten it yet. He was seemingly under recruited due to lack of playing time throughout high school, It hasn't put him down though, Rashad plays with a chip on his shoulder that only increases his intensity and potential!


Rashad can ball, he uses his passion for the game as a fuel... It energizes him, Rashad drives, pulls up, spot shoots, and stop and pops with immense accuracy, the thing is he's just getting started. Rashad can move with or without the ball, and according to coach Matt Williams Rashad A.K.A. "Showtime" is a "tireless worker" If Rashad joins a team like UCLA, UCA (Conway), Washington or even Oregon State (not for style but rather to learn from defensive mastermind Jared Cunningham). Rashad can play combo guard if you want him too, but probably works best as a scoring PG, Tim Hardaway like, he can dish but would be best used as a scorer and PG pressure point, He could also be used effectively for steal in low post double teams. Rashad has a work habit and ethics combo that rivals the best of them and will no doubt keep growing, he has shown that as coach Matt Williams has also been quoted saying "When I first met Rashad, he was a talented, but un-coachable athlete.  Over the years I have witnessed his maturation first-hand. Now, he is very respectful of authority and seeks coaching and advice. He loves the game of basketball and everything about it."  Tell me you don't want that kind of guy in your system, and if you do your crazy. Rashad will turn into a star or at the very least Jamal Crawford, so pick him up while you still can, plus the kid's talent and potential are unbelievable.


Rashad should be put in an uptempo style of play, like UCLA, Washington or a dribble drive like many other colleges, coach Romar would create an unstoppable monster out of Rashad, but we'll get into that in PT.2


Getting to know Rashad is probably a good thing, then maybe when your playing him, he won't break your ankles with a cross. Recruiting Rashad is a better idea, then you won't have to deal with him ripping your heart out with daggers, or give you shivers when icing close games!


BTW Div. I is gonna be cake for Rashad!

Rashad Colbert sounds sick, hopefully he gets picked up by a better college! Good luck to Rashad and the Sports Boys!

I am just curious how he can go from ecclesia college to UCLA, Washington, and even Oregon State? The kid is good, but lets be honest you don't transfer up from NAIA to NCAA Div 1!!!! If your going to write an article on the kid talk about how he is developing in college as we speak......

I will for sure but I wanted to save something for part 3. In each post i'm writing on a different thing, thanks for the advice though! I'm gonna most likely bring out part three during the next college season, I just wanted to get video I can post and let people see what he's capable of and let them see while he's improving.

I've played with RC on the same team here in Springdale. I recently moved from California and played with a lot of good players out there. Truth is this kid is good, real good. Has the potential to be a great guard and am rooting for him. I know he can make it big. I've seen him first hand.
