Statistically Indiana state had the number 1 defensive efficancy in the valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good spacing, quickness and shifty with the ball, good vison and passing, good cutter. I don't see a downside here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 We don't need all 5 guys to be elite scorers. Give me a dog to fill out the lineup and we are headed to the Sweet 16 NextYearBill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not on Trilly's discount, but don't know where the Roddie Anderson stuff is coming from. Best I can tell, nothing on Twitter linking him to SLU and none of the coaches are following him. That being said, I think adding a defensive minded guard makes a lot of sense with our current roster makeup. We know that our 3 likely biggest minute guys (Avila, Swope, Gibson) are more offensive minded players. Thames & Hughes profile as guys who could be good on defense, but that wasn't really the case last season when our team defense was awful. I don't know about Dotzler or McCottry. In any event, adding a guard who can play lock-down defense seems like it could be more beneficial than another scoring guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 27 minutes ago, ACE said: I like these transfer videos that are out there - including captions with stats. That is a nice video. He seems very athletic. So I asked the computer for a report card. The slash reads as follows FG/2P/3P/FT. Also it printed out 2 report cards. The first one is a UCSD 2023. The 2nd is a Boise St. 2024. The reason it printed out 2 was because the UCSD was a full sample size across the slash. The second one is a small sample size across the slash...in the end not much difference. UC SD........F- / F- / F- / B- Boise St.....F- / F- / F- / F- The rest of the stats were underwhelming...rebs 3 -3.8...assists not bad but were canceled out by TOs and a decent steal rate of 1.2. Pts =13.1 UCSD ...6.5 BSU. Not to mention all stats were the same or worse in the second year....trending down. So with all that in the hopper, I asked the computer ...Would you take this guy? The computer answered...Yes ..he would be a good 10-13th player. He might take the spot knowing he is a top 5(aren't they all) and we would take him as an experienced roster filler with a "who knows what might happen attitude".

ACE Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Brickus to Nova. Jack Clark back in the A-10 to VCU. I thought a player like that might fit the mold of a Schertz player. Although he's taken a bunch of 3s in his career, he doesn't make them a very good rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are paying for his hotel stays - his point was that he won't get the points since he is not traveling. School pays but he gets the points.

Fletcher has actually been solid in limited minutes on very talented teams, while the other two have been unimpressive throughout their college careers. He’d bring elite athleticism, great rebounding, and above average defensive chops. Plus it’s always nice to have more locals, all else being equal.
