It’s a long season. I’ll be happy if TH stays healthy the whole season, then whatever happens, happens.

Can be said about every megathread, gets hijacked and most of the time never relevant to the original subject. Why I don't like the thread police and megathreads
Don't forget, it can't be an official CF mega thread without someone turning it into a discussion about Iowa somewhere along the way.
Just my opinion but Terry is looking to go somewhere he can be the alpha from day one. Only way that happens is Haliburton entering the draft.
I think Prohm is fine with what we have coming in a point guard. I think Terry would just be something extra to be honest. Sounds like the staff really likes the other kid we have coming in. At this point if anyone thinks Prohm does not have the best eye for point guards in the country they would be foolish. This will be his 3rd, 3 star recruit he has put into the NBA. That is crazy.
Prohm will take a pg or 2 in every class if he can, while I agree with Jaden Walker committed Terry is more of a luxury but that shouldn't dissuade the staff from recruiting him. Plus at 6'4 I think Walker has the size to play off ball so their skills aren't redundant imo.
The staff does like Walker (obviously they took him) and he has a good chance in moving his ranking up by the final release. FWIW I noticed in ESPN's update yesterday they list Walker as a 4 star with a 80 rating.... which is just under Blackwell's 4 Star 81 rating (#92 overall class) rank. No way of knowing where Jaden would rank but not a huge assumption he'd be in their top 150. ESPN may be the weakest of the major 247 contributors on ratings but they do factor in.

Correction he sounds like any high major player who has confidence in himself
Would love to have Terry but a GT 2 guard/wing that can shoot would be best for next years team
Not that it matters but Walker is in the 6'5-6'6 range.
Bingo. This guy would be a homerun when it comes to getting a shooter.

It’ll be interesting to see Bolton’s role going forward. Can he become more of a primary ball handler? You don’t find too many 6’2” or 6’3” high volume off guards that can’t shoot anymore.
I think he can shoot. He shot 36% last year as a freshman. I just think he's incredibly streaky. Depending on his work ethic he should be able to get in the gym this summer and clear that up. I think Bolton is our 2G for the forseeable future and I'm thrilled about it.
I don't think Barry is any better than what we have. Grill and Jackson are better players they just need time to adjust to the college game. I think we can do better than Brendan Barry.
Thus far he’s only streaky in the sense that even bad shooters have brief moments of good shooting.
He shot 30% on 80 attempts in conference play last year. Combined with this year, he’s 28% on his last 117 attempts. That’s not streaky, it’s a poor shooter.
He can improve, and hopefully he will. He’s a nice asset even if he doesn’t, but one that’s harder to build around.
