brianstl Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 6'8" PF Brison Gresham who played last season at Houston might be a guy we are looking to bring in as a transfer for one of the two remaining spots. Forte just started following him on Twitter. Would have one season remaining. Can be a very effective player, especially on the defensive end, when he can stay out of foul trouble. Started the first 19 games for Houston last season then went to the bench and saw his minutes cut AnkielBreakers and Pistol like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Quincy McGriff (Salt Lake CC) and Paul Otieno (Kilgore College) are two names from this past weekend's JUCO Advocate 48 that may be worth monitoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think a backup PG is the biggest need, unless circumstances have changed with one of our bigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone to take some pressure of Yuri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinert310 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 So, DeAndre Jones has @saintlouismbb on his Twitter profile, and tweeted a short video about a half hour ago saying he commit, but that tweet has since been deleted. Weird. Zink and BuiltFordBills like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills By 40 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I like this addition. Another pass-first ball handler and his scoring ability will pressure Yuri to do more scoring of his own. The versatility in lineups that this roster allows for is incredible, regardless of who we play and how they play us we have options to throw at them with a roster that goes a dozen guys deep.

ACE Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Excellent! Now I can quit beating the drum about the need for depth at PG. This addition makes perfect sense. Usually Ford's roster additions make sense, trying to fill a need. If he wants to get another big with this last scholarship to help with some front court depth now, fine, but he has solidified the biggest area of need.

ACE Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 A couple of nice 3s against us. I like that quite a few of the 3s I've seen him make are off the dribble. Some guards are only effective from 3 on the catch and shoot. He'll give us a different look at PG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinert310 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Would we consider this a Tay Weaver type addition? And I don’t mean that as a slight. I agree with @ACEtgat this fills a need and getting a depth guard like Tay would be excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @ACEtgat this fills a need and getting a depth guard like Tay would be excellent. From the tape I've watched this seems like a perfect comparison. I love that his scoring ability will pressure Yuri to do more of the same, and aside from that he nearly mirrors Yuri's skillset and playing style. Pass first, good on the dribble drive, fearless for a little guy. 20 minutes ago, ACE said: A couple of nice 3s against us. I like that quite a few of the 3s I've seen him make are off the dribble.

His ability to shoot off the dribble, get to the rim, and draw defense and pass out of the drive make him a real versatile player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 In the event of an injury to Yuri, we would have been in trouble prior to this signing. I think it makes more sense than another big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
