Very solid numbers and shooting highlights but definitely looks on the small side. If a take, might struggle on the defensive end in the Big12 guarding the 2 or switching on a 3/4 since TJ likes to do that
He’s a freshman that shot 39.3% from three, 84.2% free throws and scored 497 points. We have a very good strength and conditioning program and nearly everyone on this site has made it known that we need shooters. It would be nice to pick up a shooter with more experience, but he did put the ball in the basket at a higher percentage at the foul line and from 3 than any of our guards and his percentage from the field was better than all but Lipsey. 49.3 vs 49.5 for Lipsey. Our next best guard was GK at 40.3.

Really need to find some guys that can shoot. I have never seen a team with so many guys that can't shoot a basketball. It isn't just the guards. Having post players that could make a 10-12 foot jumper would have made it a lot easier to keep defenses honest.

Having post players that can make a shot from 2 feet away would do wonders

People said the same thing last year. I’ll believe it when I see it. Need to find a couple guys that can get to the rim along with two reliable shooters.
We will be more marketable now that TJ has backed up his first year with this one. Guys are going to know if they come here, they will have the chance to play in the Dance. Plus, we have the recruits coming in from the HS level that we didn’t a year ago.

I'm going to counter that a little bit. How can a recruit watch our offense and think that's a team they want to play for? My God, we are tragically bad offensively.
