A lot of programs after a kid in the spring doesn’t mean he’s that good, let alone a home run.
Michigan sees him as a role player. That’s valuable, don’t get me wrong, but a home run?
We get it. You hate everything

JCL would be very good. There's a reason he's got a lot of programs after him
Home run is an overstatement, Twins.
He'd be a very nice get and help at a position of need though.
I don’t get the Nixon comparison. They seem like totally different players. Nixon was actually a pretty good defender a lot of the year.
Michigan has a steady rotation of guards, while we are the complete opposite. JCL could come here and play significant minutes and be a high valued contributor, or he could go to Michigan and be a role player.
I agree, but in that sense Nixon was a home run for us.JCL would play a minimum 25 mpg for us. We need bigger guards
We didn't bring in Nixon to be the player he ended up having to be though..I agree, but in that sense Nixon was a home run for us.
JCL would be a solid addition, but schools like Michigan offering doesn’t mean he’d be a home run. It means it’s mid-May and schools are happy to add anyone to their rotation.
Get JCL and sit tight. Another waive of transfers is on the way.
Exactly why thinking JCL is a home run is hyperbole. He may end up playing a ton of minutes and having high usage on a bad team, but that’s not what good teams are bringing him in for.We didn't bring in Nixon to be the player he ended up having to be though..
Foreman is a PG, JCL is a SG.I am not saying this is the case but could Foreman be a contingency plan if JC-L goes elsewhere (or vise-versa if the staff has it evaluated that way)?
I know ISU could take 2 GT guards but I could also see where both would be competing for the same minutes and not want to enter that situation.
I think JC-L could play some minutes at the 3 when Prohm wants to go small so it might not be a major issue but GT's who have options are transferring to play minutes on a bigger stage and likely want to start.
With an unpopular opinion - I disagree.Prentiss was really bad at selection.
Foreman is a PG, JCL is a SG.
Yeah I think homerun is a little over the top probably. Shayok and Kane were absolute homeruns. You really can't get any better than they were. We don't need him to be that good for us to be a tournament team imo. We need him to be solid and be a net positive at the end of the year. If he exceeds that expectation.. awesome!Exactly why thinking JCL is a home run is hyperbole.

Also, on Nixon, we didn’t bring him in to start? That’s an expensive redshirt plan.

Polarizing is calling him a home run. I haven’t called him Nixon, but used Nixon to point out the flaw in thinking getting 25+ min/gm and high usage means he’s a home run.I don't think we should polarize some of these guys though without them even playing a minute for us, let alone even commit to us. We shouldn't expect them to perform at a Nixon level and good lord we shouldn't assume they'll be.
Right but your add them in with Bolton and Tre's minutes. Just could be a tough sell to a grad transfer if you splitting the minutes by 4 as opposed to 3.
