Recruiting Transfers - March

Love the nastalgia aspect of El-Amin but I don't see him being a needed piece.

Of all the names so far, these are the only ones I would bother with:

1. Tre Mitchell - Really good replacement for Whaley, if he is indeed leaving. If no baggage, he may be the best one out there right now. The kid is legit. If he is as good as I think he is, he would probably only be here for a year. Two, max.
2. Myreon Jones - One of the few options that I see as a step up from Polley. 2 years max so not a big threat to recruiting.
3. Justin Powell - Another step up replacement for Polley (if he is leaving). Probably the best shooter available. Have to view him as a long term guard or wing.
4. Alexis Yetna - I have changed my mind on him a little. I still think I would prefer Polley back than take this kid but they are similar. If Polley leaves, this kid could plug right into his spot. He is also a longer term player so you need to consider that. I just don't know about this one...
5. Greg Parham - Another great shooter. 1 year max so no risk to team chemistry. You get a good shooter coming off your bench. Get him!
6. George Papas - Not quite the shooter that Parham is but also a 1 year guy that will clearly boost the bench.

I assume you mean Whaley and not Polley when you talk about Yetna? He's clearly a big and not a wing.

Big guard alert: UT Arlington's David Azore hit the transfer market and is immediately eligible.

First hit my radar over the summer and caught his game against Oklahoma State (14 points scored).

At 6'4 205, Azore was kind of UT-A's jack-of-all trades. In an injury-shortened 20-21 season, Azore averaged 12.8p, 4.8r, 2.1a, 1.8s on 43.2 2p% and 43.8 3p% (2.7 attempts a game).

Was on the All-Sun Belt 2nd team in the 19-20 season. Played the 3 guard this season and played the 4 guard and backup point duties in 19-20.
 


Played with Bouknight in high school, but with Bouk leaving not sure how much weight that holds. But maybe Richie was on that team too? Not sure

Not sure how I feel about him. Looked great his freshman year and had a pretty bad sophomore year with higher volume and minutes.

This is along the lines of where I hope one of our scholarship goes, though. A 6'7ish wing that can play the 3 or 4, if we're playing small, that can shoot. I'd want someone that is more reliable from behind the arc than Massoud.

I agree. I'd rather have Polley for another year. I don't see the point of getting a Polley replacement that isn't anywhere as good as an outside shooter as Polley.

Big shooter alert:

Florida Atlantic's Jaylin Ingram just hit the portal.

The 6'7 215 grad transfer from Madison, GA averaged 12.4p, 6.0r, 45.2 3p% with 1.9 3PM a game. His career shooting splits are 47.4 2p%, 36.1 3p%, 71.7 ft%.

Ingram played the 4 for FAU last season. IMO, an excellent Polley replacement if he's willing to play a bench role but I wouldn't blame him looking for a starting gig.

He can definitely shoot and is older than dirt. He was already a RS Senior. The main concern is his +/- and especially on the defensive end. I would prefer the Parham kid as a one year impact shooter.
 
Another big guard alert:

Northeastern's Shaquille Walters is on the transfer market as a grad transfer.

The 6'6 190 Walters averaged 10.5p, 6.2r, 2.7a, 1.2s, 48.4 2p%, 38.2 3p% on 34.5 mpg. Walters played the 2 and 3 for Northeastern.
 


Rough few days for Louisville, fired 2 assistant coaches and then lose 2 of the commits. Interesting that Luke Murray was one of them, lots of talk on here about him last offseason as an intruiguing hire before we went with KFree

Why would they fire assistants, not cheating hard enough?

Step right up!

Averaged only 8.8 mpg with Bacot, Brooks and Sharpe in the mix.

Last 11 games: 8.3p, 5.2r, 1.6b in 13 mpg.

From 247's Jerry Meyer: Good size and build for a center while appearing to still be growing. Average athlete. Gets up and down the court, though. Greatest strength is a variety of scoring moves, including hook shots. Can stretch defense with shooting. Good hands and feel for the game. Positional rebounder and defender. Worst case scenario projects as a solid NBA backup center.

Gotta love those numbers and that frame.

I think Maryland showed what we were lacking and that is effective defenders who can hit the three. If we are recruiting transfers, we need those types of hard-nosed grinders who can hit an open 3.

On a side note, this year it appeared that Danny resisted the NBA model of spread offenses but in his defense that may be because his best defensive lineups weren't necessarily hitting threes with consistency. With Akok back next season, it's very possible the floor will be better spread out while maintaining the shot blocking and intensity that IW offered.

Has anyone seen that from the players mentioned in this thread?

Yes, it's why I would take Fatts Russell in a second. He's undersized and shoots a bad percentage but he can break anyone off the dribble to get others shots or get himself shots.

This. Our best offense was Bouk going on 1 on 5 since the rest of the guys were complete non-threats in the half court. Now with him gone, we have pretty much 0 returning players who can be triple threats with the ball.
