Seems like a good fit. He was a supporter of LE after he got fired so hopefully Larry puts in a good word

6"1 off guard essentially that basically is only a scorer offensively. 36% from the field and 30% from 3 pt range. Factor in a major jump from MWC to the Big 12 and I would be astonished and confused if we extend an offer.

Looks like Marquette, Butler and Xavier are interested in him and if he's a sit one play one that's actually pretty good competition

His 84% FT percentage indicates good potential to become a better shooter from 3 point range. Hopefully he would shoot a higher percentage if he wasn't carrying the load as the primary scoring option. I'm guessing our interest might have more to do with his defense, which is likely better than average, having played for LE. It would help Wigginton tighten up his handles if he was going up against Nixon every day in practice this summer and next season.

He seems like an average MWC player.

He would need to improve a good deal to be a super helpful Big 12 player as a senior. No problem with us looking into him, though.

Shayok certainly will be a better sit one, play one, though.

Also continued to do the job on the defensive end, drawing 55 offensive fouls (a season-high five against Fresno State, Jan. 6) along with grabbing a team-best 40 steals (career-high five against New Mexico, Feb. 28) -- a staggering total of 95 turnovers created (23.4 percent of CSU’s opponent turnovers).

It's not always about one player. It's a pipeline. Maybe his AAU coach who coaches a ton of outstanding players ask Prohm to take a look at the kid and if he does he has another kid he will guide our way. Big Picture. Not always that small picture thinking is what builds programs.

He's definitely good enough to take as a stand alone player

That's an absurd amount of offensive fouls drawn. Must be great a flopping :)

obviously not the fairest comparison due to level of competition, but Korie Lucious put up those numbers at Michigan State

Thanks for the stats. Coming from CSU, I was just thinking that Prohm is probably looking at him because he already knows how to play defense. We had a hard time getting stops last year when we needed them. With an already good mix of players, having someone that can put the ball in the hoop along with being a defensive pest is never a bad thing.

Those are impressive defensive numbers. Genuinely curious, where do you find how many offensive fouls a guy drew in a season? Is it on sports-reference?

Prentiss shot 33% from three last year and averaged 16 ppg yet according to you he is a scrub. Meanwhile, your boy, Matt Mooney plays at a much lower level and shot 35% from three while averaging 18 ppg and he is the second coming of JJ Redick. Got it.

Fairly comparable players...
