Bball Recruit Wish List...

The problem with that scenario is your take Barb out of the 3 where we are thinner.
You do and we are? We're taking offense so Babb could still defend the three and Babb at pg doesn't mean we are thinner at the three imo. It means our three is handling pg duties. Did playing Georges at the pg mean we were thinner at the four? And we're only talking about Babb at the pg spot due to being thin there imo.

He is not as good of an inside outside threat due to less confidence in his 3PT shot, thus making him a bit less valuable in the 1-2 slots in our offense.
That's not true at all. You could argue it's the opposite. One of the biggest values of a wing or "3" is as capacity resource as a 3P shooter. If you're not a great three point shooter you're value is less intrinsic and you're better at the 1 or 2

Surprised people aren't higher on Morrow for a few reasons:

1. I think we will go after him hard and have a realistic shot at landing him with his Midwest ties.
2. Prohm loves that type of forward. Plus athleticism and rim protector.
3. Only a soph and has proven he can make a big impact at high D 1 level.

Kid is at the top of my wish list.

I'm really high on Morrow

Which is why I stated earlier he needs to continue to improve his shooting to become the mainstay at the three.

I believe I will stop with the tit for tat. We will see it all play out next year. How about a friendly wager of a soda or a beer on which of the three, Jackson, Babb or Wigginton spend more time at the point next year? I would bet that one, if not both of Wiggington and Jackson spend more time at the point than does Babb. I didn't say they would play more minutes, just likely more at the point. To keep it friendly, if it isn't clear cut, I will still pay up and toast the season. It is a good time to be a Cyclone!

My guess: it's going to be pretty difficult to tell who the "PG" is on many possessions next season. DJ could bring the ball up, then give to Babb, who sets the play up, then hands off to Wigginton, who runs a pick n roll. Who's the PG in that situation?

We all know none of them are going to be Morris, so don't expect it to look like a Morris led offense.

I would love Juiston, Edwards or grad transfer guard. Grad transfer big and the best sit out transfer they can get.

I'm high on any kid who went to Simeon and played for Mac Irvin Fire
 
I don't know if the numbers support it, but Jackson didn't seem like the most dependable ball handler. Serviceable, sure, but he coughed it up under pressure a few times.

Obviously Monté is an unfair comparison to anybody -- and hard to make these comparisons when Morris was running the point most of the time. But looking at last year...

Morris
A/T ratio = 5.16
TOV per 100 MP = 3.39

Mitrou-Long
A/T ratio = 1.58
TOV per 100 MP = 5.07

Thomas
A/T ratio = 1.45
TOV per 100 MP = 3.69

Jackson
A/T ratio = 2.26
TOV per 100 MP = 3.23

Weiler-Babb
A/T ratio = 2.39
TOV per 100 MP = 3.99

Again, not adjusted for role in the offense or touches. Morris had the third-most turnovers on the team after Burton and NML, but he touched it far more often than they did.

I wouldn't complain if we got both the twins, Juiston, and Edwards.

Ideally Morrow over Marcus.. and especially Morrow if Micheal isn't coming... but both twins together wouldn't be a bad haul.

Could sub out Edwards for a grad transfer also.

Idk why but it seems like no one is mentioning the grad transfer Nick King, who I would have at the absolute top of my list. No idea whether or not we are even involved but we're talking wish lists here.
I watched the USC-MTSU game. You were right.


He’s averaging 22.4 and 6.5 (before putting up 28 and 11 against USC today). A 6’7” 220 forward than can handle and shoot 3Ps. I don’t think we were able to get in on him, but he was from Memphis.
