Is “8th lowest on the team last year” supposed to be a good thing? We only played 7 guys consistently last year lol
Yes, a great thing actually. His turnover % is lower than nearly everyone on the team. Which is very good considering he had more usage than all but IB.

Let’s get Vander Plas, Basile, and someone who can shoot 3s and we’re set.
At first I ranked Basile ahead of Vander Plas, mainly because of his added size and rebounding ability, but after seeing some more highlights, I'm intrigued by Vander Plas' versatility and 3 point shooting.

I'd like Vander Plas plus Manny Bates or Hason Ward. I think you could play Vander Plas and Jaz together, or pair one of them with Bates/Ward. Bates and Ward are more projects, but they have multiple years of eligibility, and wouldn't be needed for heavy minutes next season.

Noah Carter at #23 was surprising.

Liked this about Michael Jones, although I think he is Stanford bound.

Very good shooter that can get it off quick and get his feet set on the move in every way imaginable. A smart cutter and has developed an ability to score off the bounce with runners and floaters. Surprisingly versatile defender with a 7-plus-foot wingspan that can allow him to hang with superior athletes. Not very dynamic in terms of playmaking ability — so [he’s] a guy who would thrive in a system that uses him in a lot of off-the-ball actions and less on the ball.”
So if Jones is better 'off the ball', does that hinder our particular offense? Or will having Tyrese Hunter as your good point man make it a good fit? Guess I don't know what Stanford has as it's point guard. And maybe the Stanford thing (like Davidson) has alot more to do with the type of college it is. After all, we're much closer location to his home. But guessing the Stanford prestige has a little something to do with it.

Being better off the ball doesn't hinder our offense at all. We need both.

BTW Ben Vaner Plas has some game. Can shoot the three, His passing is really good and will be a really good player to have at that high post. Here are some highlights of him.


I realize these are 'highlights' so it always looks good, but....one minute in, I was sold. We WANT! Besides, Div 1 All America

I see what you’re saying now, I had it backwards. I see that 3 turnovers a game and 7 in a couple games, and that raised some flags for me

BVP does seem to have the higher floor due to playing in the MAC versus Horizon and being a 4 year consistent shooter. Not sure how BVP could play the 5 in the Big 12 and I don't think he's a good enough athlete to play the 3. However, I think there is a lot of similarities in game between BVP and Creighton's Ryan Hawkins. I'd sign up for a clone of Ryan Hawkins.

Basile has the higher ceiling and lower floor. Better rebounder, defender and looks longer. If Basile can hit 3's > 33.0% (he is about 33% over the past 2 years). That makes him immediately the bigger get IMO. But I am warming to both.

Manny Bates/Hason Ward type commitment really helps play defense against the David McCormick and Eddie Lamkin's of the conference. If wonder if TJ is playing for a commitment from one of BVP or Basile and Bates or Ward.

From MPLS

And older brother of

Well, he visited UNI out of hs, so Green would presumably know alot about him.
Which brings me to the question... when a contact is made to a transfer, do they sometimes get told (if mutual interet exists) that said school is waiting on decisions from previous visitors or is that a good way of being tossed off from the get-go?

If I had to guess I’d think that’s exactly the plan right now

If we'd get a combination of any of those guys, I'd be ecstatic. If I'd have to choose a combo it'd be in this order though:

1. BVP and Bates
2. Basile and Bates
3. Basile and BVP
4. BVP and Ward
5. Basile and Ward
6. Bates and Ward

Given the programs after BVP and Basile, TJ will have done a hell of a job landing either.

Ward and BVP would seem to go well together on offense and allow us to be very switchable on defense
