Doesn’t necessarily fit that big guard mold Hurley seems to be looking for, but he seems to be focused on adding talent/certain intangibles. The staff definitely seems to be casting a wide net. What’s clear is that with all these transfers hitting the portal, the staff will definitely be able to add an impact player (or two).

Stats make him sound a lot like Bazz as a senior.
No telling about heart though.

isn't RJ Cole already on our squad?

He'll end up at Louisville or Cincy.

He'll end up at Louisville or Cincy.

He's from Cincinnati so maybe they get a gift, but he might want to play in a better league.

I agree with Fishy. They are kicking the tires on everyone. Who knows how much interest they have in any of these transfers.

I know we need talent however we can get it, but I don’t think this makes sense for either party. Without knowing much about him, he seems somewhat similar to R.J. Cole. I’d imagine he would want to go to a place where he can start from day one. Still, I’m all for casting a wide net.

There's a chance he could start here, more than likely would with his game. If Cole and he are similar that's even better because then both guards can score and pass.
