We need a 4th or hopefully 5th guard. Ideally one that can play defense, as all 3 of our current guards should be able to score. He's got 3 years of eligibility left and improved in most areas from fresh to soph years. But as you noted, he still hasn't played super well overall, so may not have extreme expectations on playing time. His on/off and impacts stats are better than his raw offensive rating (top 20 guard defender in the portal according to Miya). Defense should just get better as he matures and improves his body.You’re all nuts.
He’s awful.
Lol and Gaffney and Diggins are irreplaceableYou’re all nuts.
He’s awful.
You’re all nuts.
He’s awful.
He’d be like, 5th on our guard depth chart. We gotta fill the roster out with somebodies.You’re all nuts.
He’s awful.
What does Jalen Gaffney do well? Your logic over the past month has been all over the place.lol…you all just spent the last week running over Jalen Gaffney and now you want to bring in this scrub? He literally does nothing well.
I cannot believe this website is free.
Defense, he does defense well. And you realize Gaffney shot worse from 3 and from 2 this past year, right? And that he's a year older with no evident improvement through his seasons here.lol…you all just spent the last week running over Jalen Gaffney and now you want to bring in this scrub?

And yet you'll be the first one complaining if we don't fill all 13 scholarships or the guy who needs to play after an injury isn't ready. You're having a rough offseasonlol…you all just spent the last week running over Jalen Gaffney and now you want to bring in this scrub? He literally does nothing well.

Gaffney transferred out because he didn't want to be the 5th guard. If this guy will do it, he's good enough for the role.

lol…stop.
This kid can’t play for Texas A&M and you want him here.
He can’t shoot, he’s not point guard and his defense is nothing special. There’s a reason his minutes were down as a soph - it’s because he’s bad.
I have never given a crap if we‘ve ever filled all 13 scholarships.
But keep whining.
We really need to make this board harder to find. Too much chaff, not enough wheat.
The chicken littles were/are obnoxious but, on the other hand, I don’t think the DH polyannas should be taking a victory lap or crowing at the pessimists yet either. Long way to go until a minute of basketball has been played and some are talking (hopefully in jest) elite 8.Petty posts like this are what happens when you take a victory lap 2 minutes into the offseason. Sad.
He is not worse than Gaffney, but you wanted to keep Gaffney and Diggins and not bring in the two better players we just got. That sounds like an even better plan.You guys have tripped over yourselves to kill Jalen Gaffney and now you want to bring in a kid who is worse…
Sounds like a heck of a plan.
He may be awful but he’s tough and competitive the type of player Hurley likes.You’re all nuts.
He’s awful.
He played 28, 24, 18, 18, 19, 11, 15, 15, 25 in the SEC tournament and NIT when they went 7-2 and made the finals of both (8 top 100 opponents). We want him to play maybe 10 minutes as the 5th guard next year. And we're going to get a better, older version.lol…stop.

Because Diarra would be the 12th man on the roster behind glass that says break glass in case of emergency. If Gaffney wants that role he can come back, but he won't, just like Diarra won't want itYou guys have tripped over yourselves to kill Jalen Gaffney and now you want to bring in a kid who is worse…
Sounds like a heck of a plan.
Not expecting him to be the savior here, but he could be a good depth piece.lol…stop.
