You’ve only established that some students wait, not many, nor most (as was the original claim).
I like this kidIt is quiet.... We are on the list of George Mason grad transfer Justin Kier.
I'd much rather get Walton for the long term, but a guy like Kier may be just as helpful for next year.
So you argue that most students make their decisions early - where are your stats on that? Or do you not hold yourself to the standards that you hold others to? You’ve provided 0 evidence, either anecdotal or statistical to support your argument yet rip people apart for not having exact numbers.
If Kier wants to come here, I'd take him right now. 40% from the 3. I'm fine with grad transfers being one-season and done.
Those stats listed there with that link you posted are his stats from the '18-19 season. Looking at his '19-20 season he only played in a few games as it looks like they were working him back from an injury before getting hurt again to end this year after 9 games. Looks like he re-injured the same foot (stress fracture) and had surgery again. Doesn't seem like a huge injury though as they thought he could have returned in March this past year so he will have plenty of rehab to be ready to go next year.
Not even a shred of evidence that he has committed.
Explains why it's been quiet on the gopher front.
I’m impressed at the persistence of this argument
did we recruit him out of high school?
Not from anything that I've seen
Do we at least consider Haarms? I know it's tough with all the unknowns but there's no doubt he can play at a high-level.
Are you unable to Google it yourself? Or do you ask this to passive aggressively dump on the players who are choosing to play basketball here over other solid options?
Why don't you prove your side of the story? Show us the stats that kids don't wait.
We definitely consider Haarms but it's a weird situation because Robbins playing this season is up in the air. From what I've seen Robbins is ready to start for us right now so we'd have potentially have to find minutes for both of them.
Walton waits, that is all that matters. The vast majority of the top 200 committed well before now.
No, I did not.
I don't have a side of the story that has to be proven. I asked them to prove their claim.
This is an incredible failure of logic that you've both attempted to employ.
When Walton commits elsewhere, sometime between now and Apr 25 ... does that prove or disprove that he had already committed before today?
Agreed I don't anticipate him choosing us. I do think he'll potentially run into the same playing time issues at Kentucky, maybe not so much at Texas Tech. Haven't looked at their rosters to see what is needed. Goes without saying I'm sure he's looking for the spot where he gets the most minutes for the highest level program. Just not sure what that is.
It's going to be a fun team to watch next year because we're actually going to have a deep rotation of players (a complete 180 from last season). I think the NCAA committee will pass the one-time transfer waiver on May 20th so Robbins should be a go - that's why I'd rather snag Peterson as a future project and redshirt him over getting Haarms (assuming no Walton).
Yeah that would hurt. I'm with you I think all transfers will be a go next year though.
Don't give up on Freeman....
