Edwards didn't look like a Willoughby (although he didn't play), Nurse, Taylor, or McGee to me.

I think Edwards would help. Just my opinion, but If we sign Edwards I hope we still go after a grad transfer guard whereas if we get a grad transfer guard I'm not sure we need Edwards.

Willoughby wasn't a JUCO player. McGee wasn't dynamic. I don't know if I would call Nurse dynamic either.
So basically he isn't Mike Taylor.

Call them what ever you would like, Edwards didn't look as good.

Well you said he wasn't dynamic. Those aren't my words. You are also comparing them to what they looked like after you saw them succeed at ISU. My guess is you didn't watch their JUCO games. If you did, and predicted they would be good then kudos to you.

I did, but you can call them whatever you want. The value is in the relative comparison, not the label.

McGee had a lot of juco games online. You think those guy should looked better at ISU than at juco? Odd.

And it's clear from your last sentence you're just being overly sensitive. I haven't said anything about any of our visitors not being good, or even not worthy of an offer.

We need shooters. We have one proven one returning. I'm pretty confident that Wigginton and McNeil will be pretty solid, but if we can bring in a guy who shot like Edwards did, we need to.

I think Terrence Lewis is the forgotten guy, don't rule out this guy being a big time shooter for us. Couldn't find this years stats but he did shoot 52% his junior year. Has the body to step in right away too.

I agree. He's being overlooked because Wigginton is our big name recruit. Lewis, I feel, will be a starter or 6th man right away and be very good.

The son of a coach, too.

McNeil may be a bit slight for next year, but he's a promising prospect.

Agreed, I have a feeling if we land the transfers we want to McNeil is going to have a pretty tough time cracking the rotation. Especially if Jakolby Long can contribute, which I desperately hope he can.

Welll Shakur is about to get paid. Either that or some family member is going to get a job doing something they don't normally do at a prep school or some crap. What was that guys name that was Vaughns handler? Curious as to what he is doing these days

Pete Kaffey. I know he's not on staff at Findlay anymore. Weird how that works.

Changing course here a little, but I thought we might look into Thomas Allen the big time shooter who decomitted from NCState and now has a KU offer. But maybe they like experience of Edwards better or didn't want another true freshmen on the roster for class balance. I apologize for my KU envy.
