I'm with the other guy above. BVP is ranked 'much' higher. Good passer. Better conference. And those in the know RAVE about his character. (Guess I assume that Basile is what some see as a more positional need? But idk.)
2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class
- Thread starter LanningIsBakersDaddy
- Start date
It sure would be awfully nice, but point guard is the one position where I feel like his ability to shoot the three is down the list of needs he could add to the team. (well if we get other shooters that is)
We need to take better care of the ball first and foremost. Throwing away opportunities on live ball turnovers and giving up layups and dunks was our biggest concern from 2021/22. Second to that was 3 point shooting
I'm not sure this is the guy I'd really want to pair with Williams. He had some really horrible games against higher level teams. Preferably we'd find someone to start over him or about equal and we can roll with whichever one is playing better. I think Williams is better than Spears by a bit
But he was a freshmen. As long as he can play our defense. Tyrese had a few less than stellar games too, but I hear ya. I just want to go into next season with a 'true' point guard, that's all I'm sayin'. Not pg by committee or by default.
The only issue with this is I think we only have 4 open scholly's. 2 of which are already filled. I believe AJ could "Walk-on". But not sure if he's open to that. He is a grad transfer at this point, and with his dad being a coach, he should get majority, if not all, of his schooling paid for.
Williams
Green
Gabe
Basile
Bates/Ward
With Tre King eligible to take minutes from the 3-5 when eligible.
Kunz
Grill
Eli King
Lipsey
Watson
Bob Jones: hopefully doesn't have a chance to see the floor. IMO he seemed out matched in every possible way last season.
CW said King was the best big we had a couple weeks after he started practicing. So I'm thinking Jaz might be the one not playing much. Which leads me to believe we only add one more big.
Jaz is going to play plenty.
I thought Jones did some good things when needed, other than never making free throws lol.
I want him so I can get a jersey that says Primo on it.
If TJ & Staff sign Ward, Williams, Green, Basile and Bates that would be more than a solid transfer class, that would be A+. Especially if you include Tre King. We would add starters/depth at every spot on the floor.
PG: Williams
WG: Green
SF: King
PF (2) Basile, Ward, Bates
I would agree. Maybe King isn't going to play the majority of his minutes in the post. Might be a little old school but could always play King at SF. Especially if Basile, Vander Plas or Kunc can shoot a solid % of 3's from the post spots.
Overall I think we're gonna play more guys than we did last year, and we're gonna be doing a lot more with lineups. The coaches will know how to get the right guys on the floor at the right times
That’s a inefficient offense and likely a step back of defense.
Unless we’re kicking out Jones and/or AJ is #14, we don’t need 5 frontline guys, plus Jones and Watson. All while losing Hunter and IB.
Only one of the three F/C additions, Basile, having any real offense. And he’s the most limited defensively. That’s a front office in rebuild mode just grabbing assets- except we can’t trade them and we don’t get a high draft pick next year.
He probably was referring to better than Conditt & Jones. Jaz can play the 4 plenty.
