Yeah that's what has me torn, I figured he wouldn't want to come in with Diggins and Hawkins but he'll always have competition at Duke.

Will say the PG situation at Duke is pretty open right now, they have Jeremy Roach who will be a sophomore but he's the only PG on the roster. Though it's Duke and that can change at any minute
 
normally what happens when he’s been working for an offer for a week. Good for him. Wish our offers had this magic to ‘em.

I’ve been on this kid for awhile! A lot to like about his game, was hoping UConn would add him. His game really flashes with athleticism, shooting, and energy. Feel like he’s gonna turn out to be a good player.

Sounds like he's cool about being like Jordan Goldwire, ride pine for your first couple years at Duke and then if an opportunity opens up as a junior senior you get a lot of playing time. If you really want to play a lot it's a huge gamble at Duke but the kid is really intelligent and studious so maybe it's not too important to him. If it is with the new transfer thing he can always go somewhere else if playing time is important.
 
We really need players who can score. When Bouk dropped off, our Achilles heel was too exposed.

Been questioning who and what exactly hurley has been prioritizing since the season ended but as they say, trust the process

This isn't a workout routine. We either get a shooter or shooters we need or we don't. Trust results.

6'9 215 pound JUCO forward, sounds like more of a 4 than a 3. From 247:

PROJECTION​

Power-5 Starter


An exceptional leaper with length. Runs the floor extremely well. The lefty is tough to defend in the paint when attacking the rim. Keeps the defense honest as a three-point shooter. Dangerous offensive rebounder. Has room to improve as a ball handler and passer. Versatile defender. Has a lot of upside but must gain weight and get stronger.

Shows range, athleticism. Shooting looks good as well although against other JUCOs.

Yes!

He never played a single minute of high school or organized basketball in his life before juco, wild. Freak athleticism.

Sounds a bit like Martin.
 
Wilson's video starts with a warm up line between the leg dunk - THAT HE CLANGS OFF THE BACK OF THE RIM!
A pretty surprising inclusion in a clip since it isn't even game action. A lot to work, with but the video only proved he's aggressive and can dunk. A couple of threes but knowing his percent from 3 and the line would be informative. Zero actual post moves in the clip but certainly gets up for lobs. Doesn't seem to match Hurley's intent to bring in shooters and guys with skills. Much rather have a Filipowski type reclass.

30% from 3. 54% from the FT line. I'm not terribly impressed.

Not impressed? According to the page you linked to, he averages 56.6 points per 40 minutes. That goes up to 89.4 in conference games! So we know those stats are all guaranteed to be accurate ;)
 
Not impressed by Wilson’s JUCO stats at all. He’s averaging 10 PTS on inefficient shooting for a team that consistently scores 80 PPG. And even by video, he looks like an even more raw Sid Wilson. I’m sure Alabama didn’t blink when he decommitted. He’s a reach IMO

it's slightly worrisome our name came up at all given the hundreds of other transfers in the portal... hopefully his camp is just throwing names out in the hopes it will artificially inflate his stock and a real offer matriculates. bet it would have worked on KO.

Offers from Nate Oats, Kansas, West Virginia, Oregon, Maryland...

I have no idea about his game but just from highlights I can say he's a lot more athletic than Sid Wilson and taller. With those coaches offering him and him being the #2 Juco player in the country not sure we can say UConn is too good for him.

Yeah can’t deny the offers, but look at who has contacted him since he decommitted. Much less impressive. His stats only got worse year over year too. I guess he just started playing so his growth might occur faster than normal, but a guy with those numbers at that level of competition doesn’t do it for me personally. Obviously I trust the staff, but color me skeptical.

He also looks stiff on video. Obviously jumps out of the gym, but I was expecting a smoother athlete the way he's been hyped up.
 
We should punish the infringement by banning him to the Rivals site for a week. Where the hell are all the attorneys on this site? Sue!
