Wow.  No grass growing under this guy. Impressive.  Could these be Marquette role players he likes for our level?

One name: Lamb. Had bigger offers than these.

Poor commitment.  Shot like 35 percent from the free throw line and never attempted a 3 pointer in his college career. Doesn't really rebound either. No good so far.

Played only 14mpg...career per 40 is 12/11 and 2blks per game. Maybe he can give us something down low. I actually don't mind this signing for one year. Looks fairly athletic and can finish around the rim. Not sure why he played only 14mpg. Advanced analytics show that he is a good rebounder and can protect rim. DK said need to rebound to run...which is true.

Horrendous ft shooter..won't be able to leave him out there in a close game.

I'll pass .... really a comparable league . Imagine we took a 5 point scorer from Siena as a grad  transfer.  Yikes. 

I guess we don't know how many kids are really transfering . I'm hoping that most of the kids who are still practicing with us will stay. 

If they do this is a horrible signing.  If we need to fill 10 + scholarships I guess I can understand it.

They played 12 games this year. Both recruits have been 1 year guys so far which is what the coaching staff will want to go with so they have 2 open scholarships for 2022-2023.

I completely understand that.  There are over 1000 players in the portal.  We have a "recruiter" for a coach . Which I support by the way. 

I guess I was wishfully hoping for better then a D2 player (who can shoot, but is very very slow) and a 5 point grad transfer from a comparable school.

He played behind Nick Sestina (who transferred to Kentucky) and then he was injured.  Last time we got a big with numbers like this, with an injury...it was Doles.  

I like this signing as a tough, Philly kid who has solid hands.  If this means he either backs Doles up or is playing next to Doles...both meaning Doles is staying, I am on board.  I think he would be a nice tandem next to Doles.

Yep, exactly.  And they will possibly have more if some guys are staying on board.

Credit to Click for finding.  Think some will change their minds...

 

[UA1882]

I truly hope you are right.  2:20 in highlights over 4 years. I bet I can find that on just about any player.  Again 5 points a game for a grad transfer in a comparable league. If that gets you going great.
