Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

I hope he goes to a conference school. That’d be fun.
After seeing what this kid could do when motivated and with his family in attendance against LSU I think booing might be enough. Giving him the additional incentive of "they think I can't shoot, I'll show them..." just might backfire.
Or it could be like the Wisconsin game. I don't think giving a guy "motivation" helps him shoot better. Usually, if anything, it makes guys force too much and jack up bad shots.
Sometimes your defensive game plan works and it leads to bad shooters taking tough shots. Sometimes that guy just gets hot and you just have to tip your hat to the guy. That was the LSU game.
I'm sure he'll become a much better shooter, but I don't think the LSU game is any better indicator than going 1-10/0-3 vs. Wisconsin on how Tyrese performs in that type of situation.
At 27% 3 point shooting I’d take my chances. He had a handful of games all year where he shot a good percentage.
Good lord, am I going to have to post his progression behind the arc again? Look it up. The first third of the season he was atrocious against non-con teams including the only patsies the team played. The second third he was better against Big 12 defenses and the final third he was better still against Big 12 and tournament teams. He was a true freshman adjusting from the high school three point line and pace of game to the college level. He demonstrated improvement and wasn't shooting at a 27% clip by the latter stages of the season and that includes going 0-3 against Wisky.
He is not a good shooter and it won’t get much better unless he changes his shooting mechanics. He had an incredible night against LSU but that was an anomaly not his usual self.
Man, you’re absolutely right.
Top 40, borderline 5 star, recruits just never get any better.
First 5 games from 3
50%, 16%, 0%, 33%, 75%
Last 5 games
25%, 25%, 63%, 0%, 25%
So yeah post his progression behind the arc. What are you even talking about?
Guys, TH is really good. It’s a big loss no matter how you want to slice and dice his stats. It’s obvious if you watch the games, that’s all you have to do. He’s a fighter, he makes plays on defense, he’s growing i. To his offensive game (he averaged double figures as a freshman in the Big 12 with a good non-con schedule).
Just take the L on him and move on.
Just take the L on him and move on.
So he went from bad, to awful, to bad, and we are supposed to be talking about progress?
Tyrese leaving is a huge blow to the team. But its not because of his long distance shooting. End the conversation there.
I said ‘not much better”. He does certain things well but shooting is not one of them. He has bad shooting mechanics and when he misses, it usually is not even close
I went and calculated his 3 pt percentage over the season. I split the season into 5 parts. He played in 35 games, so each chunk listed below is a 7 game stretch.
25%
11.11%
25%
29.17%
39.39%
Now obviously his last number includes his game he blew up in vs LSU, which was his best game all season. If you remove that game, and his worst percentage game in that stretch 0-3 vs wisconsin, he still shot 31.58%, which was an improvement.

No, he should become really good. He was okay last year.
Not all Big 12. An inefficient double figures guy on high volume and minutes.
In regards to whether we can replicate or improve on last year, what Hunter should develop into is no longer relevant. Only what he was in 2021-22 matters.
Plenty of players develop into good shooters.
I know we think all kids work equally hard to become good shooters, but it’s not unusual for guys that could get to the rim at will at lower levels develop their shooting once they need more skills in college or pros
Hoping somebody changes thread title here whenever he commits somewhere. Opening thread always a bit painful
