I see Shaq Carter retweeted that also. Maybe a Rutgers connection?

Maybe but it's more likely that Shaq is just showing love to a guy he got to know over the past two years at JuCo Showcases.

That’s kind of what I was getting at. Figured Shaq must know him. Maybe he can mention his name to our staff. And our staff to him.

Folks, looking around d1 forums on Shaq Carter. Don’t sleep on this kid. Lots of very positive reviews. I expect to see better chemistry.

why did he not play a lot towards end of season and lost starting job?
Good question. I didn't watch/keep up with him because he was committed to Rutgers. I tracked about a dozen "available" JuCo guys this season (which is about a dozen more than I tracked in the last six years).

You go to juco to do one thing. Get a basketball scholarship. I followed the progressions of teammates and saw how hard the program pushed for everyone to get a scholarship. They market their players 24/7. Can’t be sure but I do believe not everyone had scholarship and they were trying to get exposure.

Bandoo from JUCO would be interesting. At this point, I don't know how strong the JUCO route is for a program is the state ours is. Risky.

Bandoo looks like a good player who does a little bit of everything, but he is still only here for two years, and if he does really well, might deter a 2018 kid.

I like four year players, or a grad transfer. Not sure how I feel about the JUCO route.
Bandoo looks like he can step right in and help us right away.

I could see that. Combo guard but can still handle the ball. We still don’t have a good enough ball handler though, but I expect Baker to take a big leap this offseason. Kid can chase the NBA.
