I don't think it much matters who brings the ball up the court. I think the defining characteristic of a PG in our offense is who gets the ball late in the shot clock and receives the ball screen. I think Wiggington is more equipped to handle those duties than Jackson. Jackson struggled in traffic, while Wigginton looks like he specializes in finishing at the rim or getting fouled. It's nothing against Jackson, and I think he'll enjoy running around the arc while the defense collapses. Jackson can be an elite SG while I'm not sure Wigginton can.
Deandre Kane, Andrew White. Those types. Most are of the Bowie Holden ilk.
These are the grad transfers from last year.http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14390188/college-basketball-transfer-list
Not many great or even good players there.
People are going to have to get used to a non-Morris PG or a non-traditional PG where it's about passing first.
Fair point. There's definitely more Holden's than Kanes.
I would say that most transfers ISU has gotten and will (hopefully) continue to get will have a great impact on that years squad. Guys like Chris Babb, Jake Anderson and Korie Lucious weren't "great" players but they had a great impact on the teams they played on.
Agree that DJack was good at the point in those games and others. But he still had shooters in Matt, Deonte and Naz to throw the ball to. With those guys gone, he's now the number one deep threat. So unless the guys coming in are great shooters, we'll need DJack in the off guard spot. Just my opinion, we'll see what CSP does.
We have more than enough space and usage available for a transfer guard, particularly a pg as they can be a 1-3.
He looked like a decent player, but definitely not a fit for what Prohm likes. Beefy low-post guy. Could probably put up 12 and 8 at a decent school.
Two of those guys were sit out guys. But yes ISU has had some really good grad transfers in Anderson, Kane and BDJ.
Bottom line is this. Take two players that you need at a certain position. Low post guy and a shooting guard. Then take the next best two players you can get regardless of position. If they can beat the guy out in front of them this year or next year. Then fine. If we get another guy that can help this year. Great. Just make two players from positions we need and then two of the best you can find. Grad Transfer, Juco. High School, or Sit out one year transfer. We are still not Duke or KU. We can't be real picky. Sometimes you just take the best guy you can get.
Yeah I had to fudge the details a little to get my point across haha
I'm guessing our grad transfer/s will come from a smaller school. Most guys transferring from good programs are transferring because they aren't good enough to play for those squads.
6-5 196lb guard.
8.9 ppg 2.4 rpg and 1.0 apg. 37% carrer 3 pt shooter.
Wow that is surprising. I thought he was Virginia's only dynamic scorer they had.
