SHU used to be tight with the Colonia hoops scene.

My understanding is that he is a shooting guard who is not a good three point shooter. With all due respect to the young man, we do not need any more recruits who are not shooters. We already have one like that coming in Payday. WE NEED SHOOTERS. THIS IS PLAINLY OBVIOUS.

What we need is a Powell or Hazel who can open the floor and create his own shot from deep and then allow the other guys to drive and kick off necessary. If Clark could even shoot 35% from 3 the season would have been much different.
