That’s fairI’m not high on Budd
It seems Sha is doubling down on his strategy to spread his budget on 12 players rather than spending 75-80% on the starting 5.What exactly did you expect? They’re not getting a 20 ppg guy from a P4 conference. I think there has actually been an uptick in quality of guys they’re going after but the reality is you’re getting solid players and hoping for a needle mover to emerge with Shu’s NIL budget.
A low major school like us is realistically looking at conferences like the MAAC, OVC, MVC for guys that put up numbers and then taking a chance on P4 kids needing a fresh start. Is what it is.
He sucked at Clemson.He played at Clemson his freshman year. Averaged 4/2/1
This kid is interesting as a Budd Clark-like player. Listed at 5'10" 175, he's talented on the offensive side with scoring ability as both an attacker and a 3-pt shooter. He's a good playmaker, gets to the line a lot and converts and is an overall efficient offensive player. Biggest downside is he has brutal defensive numbers but that's Sha's specialty.
This kid would be a take for me. We have to get some offensively talented players in here somehow. In this case the tradeoff is a small guy with poor defensive numbers. We should be able to live with that.
The offensive analytics are stellar. Ranks in the 90th percentile in most of the advanced offensive metrics. Defense is exact opposite, in the bottom 20th percentile.Gotta shoot the 3 better than Budd's 22 percent, I hope. Is he really 5'10" because Clark is probably 5'8" at most.
Type of guy we should take a risk on IMO. Of course I know nothing about him, but based on what you just posted and a few subsequent google searches.The offensive analytics are stellar. Ranks in the 90th percentile in most of the advanced offensive metrics. Defense is exact opposite, in the bottom 20th percentile.

As a freshman, no on all accounts. Needs a lot of work but he'd be good if he let Sha develop him over a few years.@SPK145 what are your thoughts on Moore? An upgrade over Parker/Williams? A 15-20mpg player off the bench as a frosh?
Sydnor still in play?Another name - former Georgetown 4 star commit Alex Constanza has heard from Hall and some other high majors.
Competing with URI and Rutgers for him.Sydnor still in play?
Maybe Sha knows talent better? We have money to spend if Sha wants it.Saw on the Rutgers board he’s visiting there. Their staff member posted that URI had a stronger offer than SHU
Did you say years? Did he sign a long term NIL deal?As a freshman, no on all accounts. Needs a lot of work but he'd be good if he let Sha develop him over a few years.
