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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Adding more to that:

Spencer is 6'4 205, 53.8 2p%, 35.3 3p% (40% shots from three) and 85.8 ft% on 3.5 FTAs a game show three level scoring ability. 2.3 steals/game is enticing too.

Combined numbers this season against their two best opponents, UNC and Saint Bonaventure: 18.3p, 4.4r, 3.8a, 2.2s, 46.3 fg% in 35.8 mpg. Small sample size for sure, but nice to see his production was still excellent against two top-100 teams.

At Loyola, he played about 2/3rds of his minutes at the 3 and 1/3 at the 4.

Patriot League kids tend to "play-up" pretty well too.

Yes, please.

You don't even need to be an alumnus to be classified as a booster. It's based on exceeding a level of contributions to the athletic department (not sure if where the exact number sits but its surprisingly small and can include non-monetary contributions) where the NCAA draws a line.

I imagine he exceeded it by a massive amount every year for a number of years now.

As a football season ticket holder, I was told my seat donation made me a booster. So the amount does not need to be that much.

Lol so by your account there are only a handful of big time p5 programs? Outside of the kentucky and duke tier I’d say we qualify with the rest of the pack.
Expand ...
Dukes “big time” P5 program isn’t going to look as Big time next year. Kentucky isn’t big to me either. I am more worried about Creighton, Gonzaga, Houston, Nova, Arkansas, Rutgers, St Peter’s! My point is P5 means nothing it is pure marketing and nothing else
 
Another guard of note:

Bradley's Terry Roberts hit the portal last night. After a season of JUCO (Florida Southwestern State), he had an excellent for Bradley, earning all-MVC first team honors, the first Bradley Brave to do so in eleven seasons.

The 6'3 180 guard from North Amityville, NY averaged 14.5p, 4.9r, 4.1a, 3.1 TO, 1.6s, 0.5b, 50.2 2p%, 34.5 3p% (about 30% shots from deep) and 70 ft% at 2.9 attempts per game.

He led Bradley in points and assists. Split his time between the point and the 2.

Twelve of Bradley's games were against teams wit KenPom ratings 100 or better (Loyola-Chicago, Colorado State, Missouri State, South Dakota State, Northern Iowa, Toledo and Drake) and in those games he averaged 14.2 ppg.

Based on those stats, I'd like more willingness to shoot from three and less turnovers, but he's a scorer and facilitator at one of the best mid-major conferences. I also like how he's a combo guard, so he can take PG minutes, if needed, but also play alongside Diggins too.

The portal has so many quality players in it already. I wonder who we’re in on. If Cole returns and/or we grab a key transfer or two, we could be really good next year.

Expand ...

Right now the only publicly reported contact is Shannon, but the rumors are he's a heavy UK/Illinois lean. Should be more names trickling out over the next few weeks I'm sure as more kids enter the portal
 
Former Shocker G Stevenson on the move again.
Also, I followed Pinson at Mizzou and LSU. Combo-Guard, facilitator and scorer who places constant pressure on defenses, probing for gaps leading to floaters and dunks. Imo but for the Pinson transfer Cuonzo Martin may still be at the helm at Mizzou. Could compete for BE honors here, he and Cole would form a devastating backcourt duo.

Even if Cole does come back, I feel like we need another combo guard type. Need to hedge our backup PG bets.
Expand ...
I gotta disagree unless there’s a transfer out. We’d have Diggins and Gaffney at guard still hopefully taking another step. Hawkins should take the next step and demand 25-30 min. Andre should continue to improve as a facilitator. And we’re adding Floyd to the roster who based on reports seems ready to contribute.
