2020 Recruiting: Fatts Russell

[SubbaBub]

So, an 8 guard line up then?

Cliff, Rod, Donyell, Travis, Jake, Emeka, Josh Hilton Hasheem, and Amida would like to have a word with you.

[the Q]

it certainly could’ve meant he’s declaring for the draft.

 

[UconnU]

This isn’t exactly a reliable source

 

[Dabutlerdidit]

Where there is smoke ...

 

[Dooooooomed]

This isn’t exactly a reliable source

Yup. Basically admitted he doesn't know what's gonna happen...

 

[RipCity]

I dont doubt what he’s saying but I’d rather take it from a dude who isn’t getting ratio’d by his own followers on twitter

I don't care about Fatts size. The biggest loss outside of CV's leadership was his ability to make a steal in a big situation. We need that defensive game changing ability more than anything else. FWIW, most teams are playing small ball so I am not concerned about bigs posting us up. Look at Villanova- their small lineups were pretty good.

CV does a lot of good thing, but saying steals were the most important is a bit of an exaggeration

Saying there is no one on the roster who can change the game defensively on the perimeter. CV's steals did that. Where are those 3 steals a game coming from?

Well if we pretend for a second the steals are the most important thing to replace, RJ Cole averaged 1.9 a game and Andre Jackson will more than make up for the 0.6 difference

I think Gaffney will improve in this area as well. He was a steals machine in HS.

Completely agree, I think Gaffney takes a huge leap next year. But I've been down that road enough with people that I didn't feel like including him and needing to argue

 

[CTisballers]

Fatts, RJ, Bouk, Springs, Whaley? OMG. Jackson, Gaffney, Carlton, Polley, Adams off the bench? SHESH.

Akok??

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Akok??

I’d be really surprised if he played next year, at least in the first half of the year.

 

[HuskyFich]

Yup. Basically admitted he doesn't know what's gonna happen...

I only needed to see those 3 words: "at the moment"

 

[AllAbout5]

Just declared for the NBA Draft but will maintain eligibility

 

[tower1]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the last thing this team needs moving forward is a 5'10 guard who shoots 39% from the field. We have our guards for next year. Would rather have AG back tbh.

Your wrong.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Great news for URI, especially after the news from earlier that one of their freshman commits, Ishmael Leggitt, was a victim of attempted murder. Thankfully, Leggitt was unharmed.

On my count, URI has just 7 players eligible to play next year but between the Mitchell twins, Towson's Allen Betrand (13.6p, 38.7 3p%) and Charlotte's Malik Martin (9p, 3.64, 1.7s, 37.8 3p%) they have a nice quarter of sit-one transfers. I'm sure Cox will try to get waivers for some if not all of these players.
