3rd PG and insurance for Gilbert. Let him develop and step in next year. I like it. Go get a 5th year and bank the last schollie for next season (unless a big name comes up)
Banking scholarships is not a good idea. Especially with the uncertainty at Guard with Gilbert. Fill the roster and get guys working together.
Ollie left 2 scholarships unfilled in 2016-17. That compounded the problem once injuries hit. It just isn't a good idea to have less scholarship players on the roster than other teams.
But Jay Wright left 3 open I believe
With respect to your opinion, I don't see the resemblance. His dribble isn't high enough to be like Samuel's. He has quicker moves and his jump shoot isn't a sling shot from over his head like Samuel's shot. It's right out in front of his face. From the video he looks like a much better player than Samuel's ever was.The highlights make him look like Terrence Samuel.

I didn't say he was an exact clone. But a thin, 6-4, PG, who attacks the rim, and does have a high dribble made me immediately thin of TSam. And I really didn't see enough outside shooting in those highlights to have a opinion on that.
AND.. TSam wasn't a bad player, he helped on a NC squad, so it's not an insult.
He is Troy Caupain's cousin btw. Ultimately the staff much preferred Logan Johnson as our PG for the 2018 class. Don't think they viewed him as a true PG.6' 4" PG. That would be nice for a change. Prior to URI interest it looks like it was Cinn. who was the only front runner on 247.

At this point - why wouldn't we want Jalen's little brother. Plus when they are in the game together we can say we have the Adam's Family backcourt, and they can play this at Gampel.
Wrong Adams. Brendan's older brother is Jaylen Adams from St. Bonaventure.
for all the jokes we have on the board about how cincy guys seem to play 6 or 7 years, Caupain is the guy who I can't believe played 4 so fast. Seemed like 2 or 3 tops.
Seriously? I felt like he was Scottie Reynolds all over again, got a lot of play as a freshman so it seemed he was there 6 years. I think most of that was because of his name, whenever the announcers would say "Caupain" it sounded like they were talking about the line of cocaine on the table in front of them, so it always made me double-take.for all the jokes we have on the board about how cincy guys seem to play 6 or 7 years, Caupain is the guy who I can't believe played 4 so fast.
