Okay, we might be splitting hairs here, but somebody define me what a 'good three-point shooter' is. I'm being serious. I mean on some of these guys hitting 38%, or 42%, it might say 3.8 attempts per game. I realize you don't want a chucker, but is 3.8 attempts a game enough to go by? What if they averaged 8 attempts a game (Grill probably did in some games if the defense didn't take him away) and they averaged 35%. Is that better because we know the player is willing to take the shot, or go 'get' the shot, versus when he's standing wide open due to a double team elsewhere? Tyrus McGee was a good point shooter, imo. But for the life of me, I couldn't even guess how many 3 pt shots he put up a game. Or his %.

I wonder who TJ will be targeting? It sure looks like there are a lot of good choices out there for what he really needs, guards that can shoot.

If he isn't going for any high major transfer's (Big 10, SEC) then I doubt money will be an issue. Denver Jones would be an absolute home run.....and you won't need to mortgage the university to get him.
More affordable for sure. Sounds like minimum is $100k

We missed out on Grant Basile last year because we couldn't afford him. He played for Wright State. We got Osun despite him having way better $$ offer from other places.

Holmes ....one of the few guys that looked for a 'fit', not just a paycheck. (last season). Love that kid. Obviously Jaz, Gabe, Rob, Brockington came before NIL

Lipsey, Grill, Williams, Watson, King x 2, and the four freshman.

Omaha and Lipsey are locks to start. We need at least two dynamic wings who can play 1-4 on offense and guard 1-4 more than we need anything else.

We need experience and scoring like fish need water
I’d be shocked if Milan didn’t start! He’ll be our top scorer! Mark it down! He’ll be Freshman of the year in the Big Twelve!
