Poor stats at a poor basketball program. Just seems the bar was not set very high. Maybe a better comp would be Talley. He played a lot this year.

You understand he's sitting out for a year unlike those grad transfers? And he's shot a way higher 3P% than either one of those guys? Kane and Prohm identified Johnson early and wasn't a back up to a back up to a back up like Beverly. If Kelvin Sampson and Eric Musselman want him then I think we got a good one.

Yeah, he wasn't a dream guy, but he is a solid pick up with some other good offers.

I would like to know why Bolton thinks he will get immediate eligibility. Is this just an optimist dad?

Sure glad you have such a keen eye for talent. You might want to give Coach K a call, he needs some help recruiting because not all his 5 star recruits end up being starter material.

Yay for Johnson. Been waiting a couple years for our Beverly replacement.

Talley was a headcase from what we heard. Weren't there rumors of bad practice habits? I guarantee Talley had the talent to contribute, and he started to at the end of the year some.

Doubling down I see. Penn State has a HORRIBLE basketball history and Chris Babb was a great pickup for us. He didn't have great stats but became a decent shooter who played outstanding defense.

I dont think he understands how years work let alone basketball.
