Jordan Ashton Transferring
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
He wasn't going to be on scholly next season unless we had one laying around unused otherwise.
Dang.... we could have used a 6'6" 305 lb guy to bang inside and grab some rebounds. And the long flowing mullet would have looked sweet too running up and down the court!
Maybe not a better player but for sure a player that fits a team need much better. Just because he couldn't get PT in one of the best guard groups in the entire country doesn't mean he's not a quality player. He's just not as good as our other guys. If Morris and Long weren't here, Ashton would still be.
I think Ernst will probably fit great in a mid major setting. He would have an easier time with the smaller bodies on the low block. I think he could develop well in the proper setting. We unfortunately need help next year.
Good news, I feel better about our future. I'll commit too if I get upgraded to Legend. :smile:
I agree on needing more help next year, especially if Malou doesn't play, and obviously that would be a huge blow with or without Ernst. I would just hate to see Ernst leave as I could see him develop over time something like Homan did. I think he could help next year and be a Big 12 caliber big man in a couple of years from the little I've seen of him (obviously the coaches see a lot more). He's got a body much like Homan did as a freshman.
There was a reason we got Ernst when we did. Not saying he couldn't develop into something special but who knows where he would have ended up if we didn't offer him late
True but I think he was injured part or a lot of his senior year if I remember right. No doubt hurt the interest in him but Fred must have seen something he liked.
