Unfortunately if you get this kid you get a Torrel Harris clone with him.

Exhibit A why more and more coaches are getting to know family members better before offering up a ship.

Maybe. But one advantage to the grad transfer is that they are one year only. That sucks sometimes, as I'd have liked for more than one year of Kromah, Gibbs, and Miller, but if any of those messed with our chemistry it's over quickly. And while our recruiting is trending up, we had enough lean years we're the cupboard isn't as full as it could be. Hopefully the program is a year or two away from needing the talent infusion, but with all the youth next year in key positions, another reliable scorer with experience would be fine with me.

I think taking a grad transfer is often times short-sighted. If you're already a final four caliber team and you add that missing piece through a grad transfer, that makes sense. When you have a team of talented freshman/sophomore's (like we do) that have the potential to be very good in a couple years, you can stunt their development. I'd rather we not take a grad transfer this year and let the younger players see the court more and build chemistry.

At what cost down the line, though? Enoch and Adams both would have had more playing time last year if we didn't have Gibbs and Miller.

I'm not saying I wish we didn't take them, but there's really no experience like live game experience.

And if we didn't take them we are stuck with the next Rakim Lubin and Sam Cassell Jr.

Enoch averaged 7 fouls/40 minutes. He would have played more if he had adjusted to the speed of the game and could stop fouling.

Agreed with Adams. He was clearly going to be a key part of the team down the road. I think taking Gibbs was a mistake and especially if the intention was to have him play the point. He took time from Adams and didn't really help the team from my perspective. Miller, on the other hand, got us into the tournament. Without him, we don't make it. And I am not sure he stunted the growth of anyone that is a legit key piece to the future of the team. I just don't see that with Enoch or Facey. So, the question is, who would this kid from Nebraska play over? If it is a key player in our future, don't take him. If he would fill a spot until we bring in a key player, take him.
 
Andrew White lll, has a problem which is Andrew White Jr, a helicopter father. I would tell folks to read the friar forum for the skinny on this young man.

Just surfing some of the other boards tonight. Looks like 5 coaches reached out to Goodman for the phone # of AW within 10 minutes or so after it was made public of the transfer (something like that). A poster with over 7k posts on the Purdue board claims the "rumor" is coaches from Michigan, Creighton, VT and Maryland have reached out to AW. Not much circulating at all on AW.
 
He's gonna go to Maryland under the Sulaimon sales pitch.

So, we do not appear to have reached out?

I would be surprised if Shaka doesn't reach out to him at some point. Texas for example is really young with talent so adding a guy like this as a grad transfer could be an easy transition in July. Other than Jarrett Allen most are highly ranked 4 year type of guys. VT is a local school that originally offered. I guess they could run with Blackshear, Leday, White, Hill and Allen as starters but the return of Ty Outlaw is pretty big news for Tech. So who knows how the chemistry aspect would work over in Blackburg. If KO stated "We have our nets down" for 5th year guys then it could be implied we have reached out to some degree considering the limited pool of candidates available at the moment.

Assuming White does opt for the grad transfer instead of other alternatives...maybe he would feel more comfortable playing in a league other than the Big Ten? Not sure how the scheduling breaks down in that conference in 16-17. It wouldn't surprise me though that MD reached out. Creighton is another Nebraska school and with Watson Jr., Marcus Foster and Cole Huff as a VERY solid trio...I wonder how White would fit in. It could work but guys like Thomas and Harreel Jr. would be bumped down. IF Creighton could run out Watson, Foster, White, Huff and Patton/Hanson they could be title contenders with Nova/X in the BE. They will be good either way though.

Could White III be the player to be named later in the Anton Gill trade?

One is fine, two seemed to create some problems
