Ayeeee 4 more plz

 

[jovs]

247 has him listed as a PG, he will at least be a combo guard. Really fills a need.

 

[DarthGopher]

Finally some good news.

247 has him listed as a PG, he will at least be a combo guard. Really fills a need.

Averaged 1.1apg in 22.7mpg, so at least how he was used at Oregon it would appear he was not a primary ball handler/distributer. Don't know anything about his game, however.

Edit: looking at his (Junior years) stats, they are remarkably similar to Braeden Carrington's freshman year.

Great news!

We might be looking at Asuma, Mitchell and Rigsby as a PG committee.

Seems like a springy, athletic energy type guy. Definitely not someone you want as the primary tho. They’re still on the lookout for that roster hole

 

[Go4POV]

We need at bench … at minimum.

 

[Off-GridTNgopher]

We'll scrape a team together somehow... This doesn't move the needle much

 

[EasyThere Pilgrim]

So we swapped junior guards.
Downgraded 9.5 points to 6.1.
7.5 assists to 1.1.
Downgraded 3pt% and FT%.

But at least Coyle did his job and pacified the fan-base.

I doubt he is a bench player unless Christie comes back.

Ben has a history of signing transfer players and playing them more minutes than they got at their previous school, even when it was a lower level.

I doubt a guy who played 23 mpg for an NCAA team who has more NIL than us is coming for a lateral move or decreased role. I’m guessing he ends up playing closer to 30 minutes a game.

Plan B.
Use THE BARN as a barn and get out of the basketball business.

Exactly. Our administration tells Coyle to spoon-feed us...and we love it.

Point taken, but obviously depends on Asuma’s readiness and whether Cam comes back. Would be great to (finally) have a 8-9 man rotation.

 

[Zeppelin Gopher]

Not super exciting stats wise, but he played 20+ mpg on a really good team.

We need bodies and guards badly. Certainly looks like a quality bench piece add for us...

Certainly would but I'll believe it when I see it.

You are assuming this is the replacement for Hawkins, as though this is the final kid we’re getting from the portal. Sure hope not!

 

[skiumah1]

Much needed, trying to survive

 

[USAF]

I looked this guy up in my thesaurus: "Underwhelming" "marginal" and "depth piece at best" were the first three synonyms.

 

[Go4POV]

Certainly would but I'll believe it when I see it.

Me too! We certainly don’t have it yet, nor did we have it last year.

Hopefully he's a very good defensive player. The history doesn't indicate that he's likely to be a big scorer.

Or the year before that

Or the year before the year before that

 

[GophersInIowa]

It looks like he has 1 year left of eligibility?

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

He looked good on D. Saw the tourney game where they got eliminated FWIW.

Already excited for next year!!

I agree, this is gonna be a lot like his first year team!

 

[topos]

Did he really play 43 minutes against Creighton in the tourney? And the only stats recorded:

Rebound: 1
Fouls: 3

It seems like a typo (although the game was 2 OT).
