[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

This guy has a bit of Tyrese in his game. Good fit IMO. Doesn’t do much to address PG though

I really don’t want any portal players except PG insurance. That I want badly.

 

[Edward Sargent]

I hear you but can he get into the lane and score? I feel like that's been a bigger problem for us than outside shooting.

Not if Sanogo and his three defenders are clogging the middle

 

[husky429]

Not interested in recruiting anyone who has shot less than 33% from deep at their original school. We have too many non-shooters already. Ideally, I'd like to see guys pushing 40%, but I don't want to get greedy.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

While I agree with your focus, Terrance Shannon Jr. would be a perfect fit for this team.

6'6 210 with two more years of eligibility. 10.4p, 2.6r, 2a, 2 TO, 50.9 2p%, 38.4 3p%, 78.4 ft% in 2.8 attempts/game. About 40% of shots from deep in 25 mpg.

He's not a point guard, but he's got good passing numbers for a wing. His offensive profile would allow for some PG-less lineups with Jackson/Hawkins/Shannon at the 1-3.

However, I think it's moot. He's got NBA potential and my guess is he wants a high major spot where he can increase his career 25 mpg and play in a more offensive system to better showcase what he can do in the NBA. Not sure if he'd get more than 25 mpg at UConn.

If I had a guess, he'd replace Kellen Grady as the 3 at Kentucky.

 

[Huskyforlife]

There must be a story behind this. But he’d be great otherwise.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Offered by Hurley and UConn back in 2018 for what it's worth. My guess is he goes to a big time P5 though.

[Get a Job]

We are a big time P5

We may be in a top 5 basketball conference, and we may have as much or more recruiting clout than some schools that are considered "big time P5." But words have meaning, and P5 does not include the Big East.

I’m struggling how to see how he wouldn’t get 25+ minutes. He’d be the best offensive player on the team right away besides maybe Sanogo. Jackson is so versatile that they can always play together too.

PG
Hawkins
Shannon
Jackson
Sanogo

This is a small lineup, but we would really play with some pace, and the spacing would be much better than what we got this year.

He absolutely would. I’m not even sure a lineup with Jackson and Shannon at the forwards even counts as small anymore. They’re pretty buff dudes.

Shannon is a really good shooter shot like 38% last year from deep. Also fits our brand of toughness. He’s a good fit.

Sign me up. If I remember, he has some Rese vibes.

The small lineup thing is overblown. Villanova is running out a lineup of 6'3", 6'4", 6'6", 6'6", and 6'8" for nearly 100% of their minutes. It doesn't effect them on defense or offense at all.

[Fishy]

Do not get your hopes up with Shannon.

 

[superjohn]

Some on this board seem to think we're the little sisters of the poor. That's not how people around the country view us.

 

[AntG168]

Yeah, that was kind of the point of my post. Kentucky is already involved.

Kentucky may not even be the biggest threat here. Hometown Illinois probably is

And Dixon isn’t 6’8 he’s more like 6’6

Yeah and he’d be a great replacement for Plummer (one of my favorite players to watch this year)

 

[storrsroars]

Seems like a plug-and-play for Martin's role.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Why is there another thread?

 

[rip7774]

I want a lineup like nova let’s have 4 guys that can dribble and penetrate! It’s not 1991 - that’s part of what got Cox fired at URI - running offense through two centers! They finished near bottom of ncaas in FT shooting despite having a couple guards that were good FT shooters.

 

[bendm]

Why is there another thread?

wheres the other transfer tracker thread? ive only seen one-offs specific to a player and we're going to wind up with 500+ threads about each and every transfer at that rate

It’s that time again. I figured it be a good idea to have a thread where we put all the available transfers. She be a busy transfer season
