yeah not if we bring in rudi or castle or femi. but i could see him getting paired with a guy like mcintosh from elon if we have to go that route. could give both up to 10 mpg or so.
He shouldn’t be. He’s not good.
Literally nobody is doing this. Saying someone was replaceable is not reveling in their transfer.
I agree, done with guards that can’t shoot. Maybe once we get 3 guys who prove they can really shoot against good teams, I would consider a defensive stopper type.
Hard no on going after this kid.We can do much better then him.
Hard to bring in transfers for the bench without crazy recruiting momentum, especially for slots like 5th guard (assuming Castle reclassifies). Lots of options for starting minutes, but very few people want to transfer to a worse depth chart position, and usually people transferring who were already bench players that don't necessarily want to start aren't very good. So invariably whoever we bring in for this slot probably won't be very good. So in that sense, I'm not sure we can do much better for that slot. Definitely a pitfall of needing to use transfers to completely overhaul one position group.
How in the world does this make sense, are you saying Hurley likes players that suck but try hard?
This. There are going to be literally hundreds of players who are going to find out that they aren’t going to be increasing their minutes on a good team. So some will opt to drop down a level and play, and some will go somewhere where they expect to be in the tournament hoping to prove they deserve minutes.
Why? What team deficiency will he fix?
That might be a reoccurring problem
Guard depth.
I think Diarra would be a useful addition. Hard-nose guards who can handle the ball are always good to have. That said I expect Floyd to be at least twice the player Diarra would be.
As an upperclassmen Floyd could be but odds are junior diarra will be as productive as freshmen Floyd on a per minute basis. We gotta think of these transfer depth pieces as 1 year at a time investments.
He certainly wasn't shy about shooting when he was in. That was actually a big part of his inefficiency. Whether he's willing to adapt to a role that will benefit him by showcasing his strengths vs. a role he thinks will make him a star (which with his lackluster shooting ability won't happen), will be the big thing. We can't offer and he shouldn't want the latter, but these guys want to shoot their shot (in all meanings).
