    Perhaps - but we know we contacted DePaul’s 3rd string center which likely means that we shouldn’t expect all that much. We have our 3rd string lined up in Ware already.

    I described Tariq Francis and the scouting report on the other players we added who play this style.

    I was thinking (hoping) by going with him and saving some money to be able to pick up another defensive forward.

    That’s totally fair, but I stand by the point I made above, and the data from all three levels of NCAA play that supports it. Unless the league is a glorified fraternity rec league consisting of complete non-players (which it’s not - it’s not worse than organized D3) averaging over 10 rpg isn’t...

    I wasn’t implying it means he’s a good player only that it’d be very surprising for a kid who averaged that many rebounds (10 per game) in any professional league to be a “poor” rebounder at any level. For context - there were only 27 D3 players, 12 D2 players, and 14 D1 players in the NCAA (53...

    I said rebounding only. Specifically said everything else (scoring the obvious) meaningless without knowing the competition. Only in high school stats is this true of rebounding metrics (ala Fall) for 2 big reasons: 1) they generally aren’t legit. Some random assistant keeping the book and...

    Under normal circumstances, perhaps, but regardless of relative individual talents we will not be able to win by playing 3-4 tiny guards together at the same time outside of a few isolated opportunities on press. The situation we’re in right now is that we have 11 scholarship players and 3 of...

    10+ rebound per game average? Sign him up right now and I don’t care what “level” the basketball it is. And I’m one whose been on the anti Euro train. Rebounds are rebounds. Street ball leagues can have physical guys who rebound the rock. That’s something you either have a knack for or you...

    That’s fine. But not every offense is dependent on a primary ball handler to be the guy to create for others. When your offensive weapons thrive on scoring off the dribble and creating for themselves rather than catch and shoot, that skill is less important. We need someone who can get the...

    He can’t bail on Vegas. We need the NIL money.

    They should be spending whatever they need to spend on the starters first is the point. Good point…. That’s probably true. And we don’t even know if he’ll be eligible. Total head scratcher.

    I think his point 1) Unless Duarte was literally free, what was the rush with him? 2) If Pike got a good deal with retaining the backcourt, then fine. Run it back with an emphasis on year over year development knowing those are your starters and use your remaining funds to fill out the rest...

    Well that’s a relief. I can’t imagine Pike going for someone who averaged less rebounds per game than Ware and scored only 14 garbage time points on the season. I don’t care whose bench he sat on.

    Why bother? I don’t understand this one at all. If this is all we can afford we should just role with Ware. Another Fall is a waste of money. 2 years at Florida and barely played in deep garbage time.

    I don’t know who he thinks we’re getting to run the point. You were correct in pointing out some concerns with the cadence at which Tariq runs the offense as the primary ball handler but the suggestion that he’s too short to make passes to put players in good position is ridiculous and...
