Rocket Watts?

I know he’s not quite the player, but his shiftiness and (hopefully) energy off the bench/not as a main scorer could be Davion Mitchell-esque.

Wow what a roller coaster for Akinjo. Interested to see how he’s used at Baylor.

Kid has onions and can put the ball in the hole. Thinking a team where he can show his creativity.

I thought the problem is he really can’t put the ball in the hole.

I'd be super excited if Watts commits here.

Do I expect him to come in and be a stud? No.

However, does he have the potential to become a stud? Absolutely.

Exactly the type of lottery ticket this team should bring in as I imagine the teams he wants to transfer to cannot promise him the PT he might have thought he could have gotten leaving Michigan State, UConn being one of those teams.

It's all about ceiling with Watts.

We have to trust the coaches. Watts' stats are pretty bad, for both years (other than FT's), but worse his second year than his first. Not close to what was expected from him.
If the coaches feel the MSU offense was not suited for him, or the shots he's taking within their offense are not the best for his skillset, than maybe they think he can be the messiah under their tutelage.
There were lots of other options and we either choked on execution or didn't feel those options were better for our style of play.
 
Watts would be a tremendous addition at the time period we are currently in. Another high end athlete who could defend the ball & has the skill set to be a good offensive player- just needs to put it all together.

Kentucky has offered on Rocket(another thread).. Seems like SEC BB schools are benefiting from SEC FB banking some money through their boosters/donors. If you know what I'm sayin'

Indeed.
 
I know we need to trust the coaching staff if Watts does come but all I see is another Gaffney that is a worse shooter (maybe a better defender? Can't say I watched many MSU games the past two years).

Would rather have minutes go to an incoming freshman than a guy who had two very poor years and can't shoot (which is the one thing I'd want in any transfer).
 
FWIW I’ve seen some rumors of RW possibly returning to Michigan State. No official sources, just twitter stuff.

I really think he would benefit from a change of scenery, but maybe he wound do better at MSU off the bench or as a second option.

Lol Gaffney is good though.

There is no reason why Gaffney can’t be a good in game shooter watching him practice.

Just saw this... Comments seem to be thinking Kentucky or return to MSU.

A very small part of me is looking at the “it’s coming” with a blue heart as a UConn sign, but in reality I don’t think that’s happening
