Back up PG and 3 pt shooting is our weakness now. This team is 1000% more interesting to watch than last years. When do we tip it up?

Agree unless the coaching staff thinks that Walker is a quality backup PG, then 3 point shooting is the weakness (and maybe rebounding).
I didn’t expect it to be much more than us putting out a feeler anyway but he’s off the board. I’d like to see us add some shooting if we don’t get Fletcher for the last scholarship
This is exactly my thinking as well. Fletcher has a high enough ceiling that you bring him in and make it work. Outside of that, a more reliable 3 point shooter is where we have the biggest need imo.
If that happens, and the below is our rotation, the expectation absolutely should be a tournament appearance. Thats a lot of talent.
Hunter/Kalscheur/Grill/Fletcher/Enaruna/Hinson/Foster/Conditt
"Absolutely"? Not so fast.
I don't think we should put that expectation on the guys right away. This is after all 5 players in the top 8 that haven't played in Hilton let alone with each other. I get the aspect that their talent is that of a Top 68 team but there is a learning curve that needs to be factored in.
Could be is more realistic. Whole new coaching staff, basically whole new top 8 or so in the rotation... talent level and supporting cast definitely upgraded, but that’s a lot to just magically gel together and run on all cylinders.
Yep. The first part of the season is going to be a struggle. If we can come together and get to .500 that would be a home run. Throwing in a big upset or a “Magic” game at Hilton would be the icing on that cake.

Yeah, what I'd be willing to guarantee is that this team will be fun to watch, and hopefully will get a lot more time together to gel than last year's team did.
Reminds me of Fred's second year. Completely new rotation. A ton of talent. Fun to watch. How quickly can they put it together? Dangerous late in the year if they make the tournament. Im just saying if they land Fletcher in the coming days here I personally think they have the ability to make the tournament. Im not saying I'd be disappointed if they don't a year removed from a winless conference season. I'm simply saying thatd likely be my hope and expectation entering the season.
A LOT will depend on how fast they can all start getting into a flow by playing together. This is shaping up to be a team that loses games in December where we are pulling your hair out. But by March. We will hopefully have to machine ready to go
Not to beat a not-so-dead horse, but thinking this interest indicates Fletcher isn't looking likely. Which is fine. First Wade, mainly a rebounder, who went to Nevada, Oladapo who went to Pitt, and now interest in this Nicholls State player. Thinking TJ is still looking for another 6'7" rebounding type. Interesting that we're the only P6 team on that list.
Another guard that can handle the ball will be needed. I would take a forward out of that top 9 and add in whichever guard emerges, whether it is Grill, Jackson or Walker.
I get the feeling that the kid just threw ISU in there...doesn't seem to fit with the rest of those schools.
I don’t think you can draw that conclusion about Fletcher based on the staff “contacting.” It indicates that Fletcher is not a done deal and they’re continuing to work. An offer would be better evidence.
