Recruiting Transfers - March

[UconnU]

Preemptive hard pass on all these Cincinnati players about to hit the portal

 

[Mooch82]

Everyone needs to keep in mind that all the guys who have already hit the portal are guys whose seasons are already over. Will be a ton more players from tourney teams shake loose over the next few weeks. Let’s stay patient.

Seems we haven't reached out to Myreon Jones.

 

[the Q]

Yeah, sign me up for him.

Solid role player wing who has a decent shooting stroke.

Didn't we recruit him? NJ kid?

Looking at his stats, I'm not in love with his streakiness. Had 2 20+ point games and 2 30+ point games... but 13 other games where he scored 6 or less.

I've never really seen him play and looked with any kind of critical eye though. Gotta trust the staff as always.

 

[Waquoit]

The assumed role would be an undersized SG off the bench for some shooting.

This post has been referred to the DRD (Department of Redundancy Department).

 

[Waquoit]

Holy crap Penn State’s entire team is in the portal.

Once KFree left, there was nothing left for them but ice cream, apparently. Clearly none of them are engineers.

I'm a bit torn on Lundy. I assume Freeman vouched for him so that's a positive. Good size, and good looking stroke although he only hit 32% from 3. Doesn't seem like a super high level athlete which makes me concerned about his defensive abilities. If he's willing to accept a bench role and not looking to be a star, he could be a good find, but I think I'd rather wait out the market a bit at this point.

I’m looking at the ft% as well. Usually a better sign of true shooting ability.

The lack of blocks and steals is a little more concerning.

 

[HuskyHawk]

In the expected Wing/SG spot I’d like to make sure we get a defender, even more than a shooter.

I think we need a big. Agree that Johnson, Springs can flex 4/5, so just take the best guy we can and adjust from there. Some beef would be welcome. Shon Miller type would be excellent. Somebody who can score inside.

 

[uconngb]

How many times do we have to offer him before he says yes??

No, Hurley and staff never recruited him. That was Ollie.

i really dont know about that. we will only have 2 "shooters" i.e close to 40% from 3, on the team next year in cole and hawkins. ideally all 3 open schollys are filed by shooters with the one possible exception being the big. no way the other 2 schollys can go to non shooters tho

 

[Dooooooomed]

Familiar name...

 

[navery12]

I don't want to go into the season with 1 strength player, (Sanogo). I want 1 more whether Johnson, Akok, or Springs can play small ball 5 or not. Give me somebody that is over 6'9 and about 230-240lbs. whether he sees himself as a PF or C. We need 5 bigs and only have 4 now. A Tre Mitchell type might be hard to lure with Sanogo on board, but a similar player I'd love.

DJ Harvey and Earl Timberlake are both Dematha. I thought DJ Harvey was one of the best players at Hoophall when he was just a HS soph. I have no idea how he hasn't been a star. That was a long time ago now. Timberlake was dominant with Dickenson last year but only played limited minutes in Miami in 7 games. I assume injuries because he started 3. I'd love a shot at guys like them. AJ Bramah would excite me if we are on the short list. I don't have an opinion on the Penn St kids but obviously the Freeman connection might up the probability that we look in that direction. With Diggins, Cole, Gaffney, and Jackson's handle, give me a 6'5 2 guard shooter, and a 6'6 to 6'7 versatile player. At least 1 guy I'd want to be a multiyear player.

I note that DJ Harvey is a great foul shooter. According to Vanderbilt he made 18 FT on 16 FTA.

 

[pierogiscri]

This guy will be a good Polley replacement if he comes.

 

[superjohn]

That kid went from top 50 recruit 5 years ago to Notre Dame, to Vandy, to Detroit. I'm expecting him to somehow end up at Central.

Went 31/8 against Maryland and 26/4 against OSU. There is clearly upside here - can work toward consistency.

 

[navery12]

No UConn

St Bonaventure would be utterly filthy with this kid, assuming everyone is back.

 

[rollskies]

No UConn

Really liked his game, but there will be a lot more transfers to choose from. I kind of got the sense that we weren’t pursuing him that hard, but that’s just my speculation. Good luck to him! I could definitely picture him in the A10.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

No UConn

Odd list for someone who averaged 21 and 10. Oh well on to the next.

6'7 and can't shoot. He'll be a nice player at that level.
