The program has needed some pure shooters since he Dan Hurley walked on campus (and in fairness before that) - and no, Polley is not one
So yes, it appears as far as that is concerned, Dan Hurley was born yesterday

I was referring to what he said today about our current state in response to someone talking about potential transfers. But you already knew that. If we are talking about the past, the last time we had sufficient shooters was 2014. The problem preceeds Hurley.
 


Rutgers had a historically good year (literally) and are still having players leave. This season is so confusing. I am pro players transferring and doing whatever is best for them, but still just surprised at some of the names we’ve seen enter.

Edit: he would be a 5th year player, so maybe it’s just his time to move on, but still surprising.

One thing to keep in mind is these players don't have to leave. Spring sports had the free transfer rule last year and ~20% of kids who entered the portal returned to their original school

I think a decent amount will end up at their original school. Sometimes the grass isn’t greener, but like i said i respect their choice to leave for whatever reason they want to.

I’m just more shocked at schools that had really good years and are still having people jump ship: Rutgers, West Virginia, Florida, etc.
The volume is a lot higher with all the 5th year seniors exploring their options.

6'9 225, 14.9p, 6.2r, 1.5s, 1.2b, 52.1 2p%, 33.9 3p% (about 20% shots from 3).

A guy I'd sign up for big time. Watched a few EKU games this year and King brings a great energy and skill set. EKU plays the 2nd fastest tempo in the nation, yet he still managed to play 28 mpg at the 5 spot.

King went 25p, 13r, 4s in EKU's game against Xavier this season.

With seven players hitting the portal, I'm curious if this is a precursor to coach AW Hamilton getting hired by a bigger fish soon.
 
One of the NEC's best players have hit the grad transfer market.

Waterbury native Tyrn Flowers, a 6'9 200 forward, averaged 17.3p, 8.1r, 3.6a, 1.9s, 1.2b at LIU.

Career 55.6 2p%, 33.1 3p%, 69.1 ft% shooting rates. Played one year at UMass before transferring to LIU.

NCAA tournament star and Big Sky Player of the Year Tanner Groves has entered the transfer portal, sources told ESPN. Scored 35 points against Kansas in the first round for Eastern Washington. Averaged 17.2 points and 8.0 rebounds this season.

Wow, good for him.

No chance we'll get him as I see him taking advantage of his suddenly high stock and parlay that into a potential starting gig at a very good basketball school.

For example, Texas looks like a nice fit between Hamm graduating, Jones heading to the NBA and none of their incoming '21 commits are bigs. Could play huge minutes there right away there.

I'm waiting to hear that Bob Cousy has entered the transfer portal, think he's the only guard left.😎

Surprised he’s leaving Florida. He’s a big time shooter. Would love to have him

Last year they lost Nembhard who fit right in with Gonzaga this year and their coach seems to specialize in recruiting highly rated guys who underperform, such as:
Scottie Lewis, Omar Payne and Niels Lane besides Nembhard.

Ironically turgeon has they rep as wel. Especially guys blossoming in the NBA when they’re away from him.

Tre Mann was great though. White just seems to be falling out of favor there with the fans and I think the vibe of the program isn’t great right now. But it’s weird because I do think he’s a good coach. If Johnson didn’t have his health issue this year things would have been much prettier. I think we’ve seen first hand how things go south quickly once a few bounces go the wrong way.
 
It’s interesting that we haven’t really heard news from insiders as to who we are after. Wondering if our strategy is a little bit dependent on Whaley and Polley’s decisions, although I feel like we need to make a shooter a priority regardless, whether Polley comes back or not.
