Hope Corey stays for next year and develops his OUTSIDE SHOOTING!
Add that to Geo, Kiss, Mathis, Geo, Harper + Thiam and we might have something.

Also would be great if Omoruyi develops a little J while we're at it.

3 pointers would be nice, but I would be happy with making chippies and more foul shots.

This is what I'm hoping Mathis and Harper bring. Neither is a top-tier shooter (IMO) but I'm hoping both can at least be good scorers and get some more easy buckets than we do currently.

I understand that better players, play better. But when you watch some other teams, not in the top 20 and they have guys who can make a variety of shots, why can't we. Not all these players are 4 star either, but seem to be sound fundamentally and can do the little things that win games.
It's nice to be great defensively, but that might keep you in the game. Without being able to score keeps you from winning. Maybe next year will be different with some of the new guys joining the squad. I think we need to sacrifice some defense for more offense and should recruit accordingly.
