2022 Transfer Offer Thread

[RipCity]

So a kid lower rated than Johnson, and who hasn’t played at all, is the key. I agree he’s important, as the backup SF and shooter. The Polley role.

He’s not lower rated that Johnson (before Karaban reclassed), they basically played the same amount of organized basketball this year, and Karaban has tangible skills and Johnson does not. Karaban was scoring more than most 5 stars in the Nike EYBL last year. Johnson wasn’t doing anything Ike that at all

The proof will be in the pudding. If Karaban is playing more we’ll know why. Not trying to beef with you, I just think Karaban is Ryan Hawkins and Johnson is like current Akok

Lots of these rankings have pro potential factored in as well. Raw, Johnson is a better prospect. AK is prob a more polished product today though, with just a much lower ceiling. He also has one plus skill that from a roster composition standpoint is super valuable to us (shooting)

Where do I sign for AJ scoring 10/8 with less than 2 TO's per game.

 

[Chief00]

Ramney is a good player. Plays good D. Is a competitor. While he shot 41% from 3 his junior year, it went down to 35% last season. His over-all shooting last year was 39.7%.

He was 7/7 with 3 A and 2 TO a game this year. It’s not much of a leap to grab one more board and score 3 more points. Just getting to the FT line more and finishing one layup could cover the points.

slow ur roll jerome. as much as i like his winning effort, i am not certain that his ppg is going up. hopeful yes, certain no.
i mean, i was told here ad nauseum after the end last year, that 'of course tylers points will be going up. healthy, extra year senior, no james, improved handle, boards, ... 6'9''!
yeah, umm no.
his shot attempts went up by a third over the previous season, 200/150 (and minutes by 50%! 668/454), yet he finished with the exact same ppg, 7.5.

Come on Cliffy lay off the spliffy's!! Are you really comparing the talent level/ceiling of Tyler Polley to AJax?? AJax is most likely going to be playing in the NBA when he's done here and his improvement in the off season/ throughout the season was very impressive. I expect him to be our leader next season and his scoring will definitely improve. Kid lives in the gym

look closer at tyler's original hype here, mostly sounding in daniel hamilton or paul george possible comps. lotsa stuff aboot his midrange game, ability to handle, the oh so many boards that his 6'9 wonderfulness will provide, ya know, plain ol crapola proven insane by the fullness of time.

Seems like Ramey has some big boys after him. Hearing a lot of confidence on the yard, but is that just a contact high from the expectation that we'll land Newton?

I've heard Newton is a done deal. Ramey is still in play and we're pursuing him aggressively but I don't think he's close to a decision just yet.

lol i had to look back at the tyler polley commitment thread to confirm that this is completely untrue. see below:

Tyler Polley commits to UConn!

Four-star stretch PF.

the-boneyard.com

lots of "he has a lot to work on" and "needs to get stronger" and "should be a contributor by his senior year" and much less "this guy plays like paul george"

With this staff, when there's multiple insider chatter, it seems to often come through.

Sitting on a plane with nothing but time. First video I came across of Ramey’s:



Just from this video alone, from a character standpoint, I’d root like hell for this guy.

Edit: Courtney Ramey Scores 19Pts + Game Winning Assists Lifting Texas Over West Virginia

Impressive film here from Ramey. Creates for himself (& teammates) multiple times.

Thanks for posting. Great kid, tough physical kid too on the court. Sign me up!

Who ever said any of this?

None of it has anything to do with AJ's development anyway.

Heard we have another visit planned that would start next Sunday. Player is probably Carter but have not confirmed. Salt/grain.

I think I do this every year lol. I lived in Portsmouth, NH for a bit and that should mean I also know there's no basketball gym of note there.
