Bolton is really good but he's not an alpha....yet. He has stretches were he totally disappears, that was true before Tyrese went down. He's still just a soph though, plenty of time for him to prove he can be the man. Playing along side another good scorer who can stretch the floor would do wonders for his game. As great as Tyrese is, he's still a creator, pass first kind of PG, his offensive strengths were a little to similar to Rasir IMO. We're connected to a lot of names that would compliment Rasir really well, hopefully we can land a couple.
Hey now! That is interesting... His brother plays for Duke thus is the likely landing spot. That said Griffin would play earlier and not be in danger of being recruited over in the other schools.
He's a Meh for me. When he was going through Curie I was keeping an eye on him and wanted us to reach out a few points there during his senior year as he was lighting it up on the way to a state championship.
That being said, he's seemed to somewhat plateau at Depaul. He seemed to making average strides from Frosh-Junior year, then had a significant drop of in PT this past year. I know he was not playing for a portion of the year, and maybe just couldnt get it back going but, overall I thought he'd do more at Depaul.
I'd say he should be a fall-fall back option at most. personally.
It's tough to look at any sports being played considering the situation we're currently in. The next couple of months will provide a great landscape as to the potential of playing sports again and having fans in the stands. Our professionals are working on figuring this out. We'll get through this and will be back to sports at some time. Hopefully it's sooner than later but we have to be patient. I would say there's a much higher chance both football and basketball push their starting timeline back a couple of weeks than to completely cancel next year as a whole.
No offense to Cyclone fanatic but it seems like they are putting up articles of stuff we already know.
The fanatic forums are obviously faster than something they'll publish for non-forum users.
With how fluid this is, it'd be so hard to keep up with everyone we're targeting.
May be a dumb question here but when is the last time we beat out Gonzaga for a transfer recruit? If they're involved I have no hope for winning that battle.
I don't really remember going up against them for that many. Maybe one last year? I remember going up against them for Grant Gibbs out of high school. Who have we tried to get that they were trying to get?
Bolton's game has some pretty big warts, but he also has a lot of ability.
IMO Bolton can be an All Big12 player if he works hard and changes his focus. He can be a great offensive player if he gets more consistent from 3 and becomes a better decision-maker when driving to the bucket.
Defense is his biggest wart and IMO that typically comes down to attitude and effort.
The ball is in Bolton's court- he can be elite or just another player.
We were in on Gilder last year, that's the only transfer I can think of but we also were beat out by them for Zach Norvell, Drew Timme and Jalen Suggs, all really good HS recruits. None of those were really cases where it was totally us vs them though.
