RECRUITING: A transfer to keep en eye on

[heitclone]

Having Bowie and another scrappy, athletic guy coming off the bench would be a nice compliment to a smaller lineup with Malou being the 5.

 

[josh4cyclones]

Yeah, I heard about that guy. I think his name was Georges VanderFizer or something....

This kid reminds of a spitting image of Dustin Hogue. I will take that

 

[State43]

He played 39 minutes last year

I'm with you. Seems he plays the same position as Bowie as well who is also a grad transfer. Many better options we are still in on, this seems like a head scratcher to me. Better than nothing but doesn't make sense unless the staff is confident in Carter/Young/Malou/Ernst playing the 5 exclusively. Not sure I am.

Maybe in 2017-18 and beyond but I don't know how much you can count on them next year. Carter looked pretty far off. He barely played and Ernst redshirted in a year where we could have used an extra 8-10 min/game role player.

I would not bet my raise on those two.

Due to not being fully recovered from his ACL injury. RS or no RS, he wasn't going to contribute 8-10 min last year due to that injury.

I think Ernst will contribute more than people believe. I want another Homan!

Bowie seems to be a better version of him.

 

[Hoiball92]

The 6'10" center that shoots 45% from three and can handle like Kyrie? Is that the guy you're looking for?

I'd like a guy with size that can rebound and defend

He's still going to be a freshman - one that was not a top prospect for a reason. Lets hold back the expectations and let him develop.

You don't think Jones can defend and rebound?

 

[Hoiball92]

doesn't have size

 

[CyTwins]

doesn't have size

He's bigger than Holton from WVU who was one of the best rebounders in the league. He's an inch shorter than Spangler

 

[CloniesForLife]

doesn't have size

He's 6'7" 235 lbs. That's a pretty big dude

 

[Dandy]

Mods can we please give the child (Hoiball) a timeout (day or two ban)?

 

[CloniesForLife]

I think he is capable of both of those things. Since nobody we are going after seems to be who you want could you name the guy you would like us to get?

 

[Hoiball92]

He's bigger than Holton from WVU who was one of the best rebounders in the league. He's an inch shorter than Spangler

Also only has 220 career rebounds.

 

[CyTwins]

Also only has 220 career rebounds.

So you don't think he could be a good rebounder or defender for us?

 

[cyclonespiker33]

Also only has 220 career rebounds.

He averages a rebound every 5.1 minutes.

Nader got a rebound every 6.1 minutes last year. Georges got a rebound every 5.3 minutes last year.

 

[Rural]

He averages a rebound every 5.1 minutes.

Nader got a rebound every 6.1 minutes last year. Georges got a rebound every 5.3 minutes last year.

You're gonna get it now.

 

[CyTwins]

He averages a rebound every 5.1 minutes.

Nader got a rebound every 6.1 minutes last year. Georges got a rebound every 5.3 minutes last year.

How can that be? He's only 6'7 and we need someone 6'8 or taller

Preferably, 7' 8".
