One will not exclude the other. If Mick wants both and I believe he does, a way will be made. Remember, Ennis technically will most likely be a 2013 guy. there is slim to no chance he will be eligible in 2012 and he understands that.

Where is the slim chance coming from? I don't see how he has any chance at all at playing in 2012. Is there a family issue that he can claim he is transferring closer to home?
 
His reason for transfering was to be closer to home. I dont know if that is because of family reasons or not but I think it is safe to assume he is a 2013 player. I think Mick would prefer that.

He himself has said he has a "small" chance of being eligible but knows it's very remote. The fact that Tyrone Johnson will be at Nova and the possible transfer of Tony Chennault from Wake leads me to believe that UC has a better than average shot at Ennis but I know he really likes Nova too.
 
Jeff, I hope your rationale is correct. It appears we have a shot. replacing Cash with Ennis in 2013 would be nice. Love what MC has done with the program. We should have a deep talented roster. We may not have a team of McDonalds All Americans but we have good hard working kids who will be here longer than 1 year. Eventually we'll be in a position to land some one and doners that can put os over the top. Next year we may be 10 deep. i enjoy the fast paceed run and press game we should have the personnell to play.
 
Going to Villanova

Looks like Dylan Ennis is transferring to Villanova. Cincinnati was the other contender.

???? Really? he was always a Nova lean. Get a clue. Posted this few days ago, "My guess is a slight Nova lean but UC right there. He feels strongly he'd start next year with Cash gone."

Not a huge deal, he was more of a luxury then a necessity. No one will have to be forced out and UC is still the leader for Obekpa. All is well...
 
I am pretty disappointed in missing on Ennis. While I think we all agree that Obepka is the better player I am getting nervous about our PG situation. Obviously Guyn can run it but I am not sure he is a pure PG.

I don't think there are many pure point guards in college basketball. I almost rather have Davis back up cash next year and then take over his JR. year and have gelawn back him up then. I trust much more in Davis than Gelawn. But thats what the offseason is for to improve and get better. Maybe Gelawn will be capable next year as a back up.
As for Ennis I agree with a previous poster who said he is more of a luxury. Now we don't have to worry about who we kick off the team. And we weren't getting hos brother anyway so that doesn't matter.
 
The benefit of Ennis would have been a year to learn the system. UC will land on it's feet fine in this area. They aren't out of options and are in with several good points in 2013.

I think that we are all a little disappointed that Ennis didn't choose us. It would have been nice to have a D1 player learning system for a year before playing and you can never have too many guards.

I guess I am shocked that the majority of people really wanted Ennis. His numbers were average for a CUSA player. The only glaring loss is the connection to his brother. I believe that there is a silver lining in which it gives Mick time to get another pg in here that may be a better 4 yr guy than Ennis. This also avoids the fact that if he and Obekpa choose us we don't have to let anyone go.

Someone else maybe on another board posted that Ennis' announcement was moved up and he plays for nike school, so 1+1=Nova. Hopefully this bodes well for us as Obekpa recently played for a adidas team and Mick was the only coach there to observe.

He set a freshman record for assists at Rice and has very good ball skills. Would have been a nice pick up.

So am I the only one that thinks this nike/addidas junk is b.s.? If that was a major factor for players/handlers why would a coach waste his time with a player from an aau team sponsored by a shoe co other than what the college uses?

It isn't always definitive but it is a factor. Especially if the handlers are getting benefits for channeling players to certain schools which definitely happens.
