Another writeup about Kyle Washington by Bill Koch. Two takeaways from this:

1) This guy could be really really good for us. Everytime there's a piece on him, he seems like the nicest guy off the courst and crazy good on the court.

2) He gets 11 1/2 hours of sleep a night.

11 1/2 HOURS!!!!!​

If this team can get a scoring 2 as a grad transfer to go with Washington and the rest we could be scary good.

I'll rather give them keys to evans kj and cumberland. get a big grad SF and high school C/PG

i hope im wrong but he looks kinda soft. for all the leadership skills he supposed to pocces havent seen him talking to players from bench either. would like to see him and moore(if still around) to play in city gear league if they still run it. our bigs need as much run on court they can get, mick should have some type connection to get clark on a national team or to a big man camp.

Evans will be the SF,KJ has had 3 years to be that guy and with all the returning talent I don't want to risk it all on a freshman Cumberland.

Cumberland will get minutes and may start by end of season but KJ will take Cobb's spot at beginning of season. I've seen him shoot lights out and I still think he can.

evans only 6'5 to thin to win against the top 10 teams SF. kj go be on team one way or another and im banking on him improving handles being important piece next year. cumberland is probably better NOW than all our guards. pretty sure he's been coming down for past yr playing on weekends with team. I dont know difference between cobb position and evans so i dont care where you slot him on depth chart just make sure its somebody 6"7-6'8 or cumberland. Unless kj dominate over summer i'll go fifth third myself next year with 'FIRE MICK" sign if mick starts troy kj evans

EVERY and i mean EVERY D1 SG has shot lights out when wide open in practice. Its not his shot anyway thats holding him back. he needs improve upper body strength so his passes want be so weak and handles. I'll take his shot as it is.

Troy kj and Evans will start next year so make sure you get your grammar correct on your sign, unlike 90% of your posts

Evans size is fine. Want a dead eye shooter at the 2 guard.

want to bet kj dont start?

 

[mdchick]

Evans will definitely start at the 3 your obsessed with size rather than ability

we have one of best in country this year. what good has that done us? Cant start a one trick pony 2 guard. Kj evans troy and clark al have potential to shoot over 38% from 3 next year. give me a 6'7-6'8 athletic basketball player. dont get me wrong i"ll take another 3pt specialist but he isn't starting for me unless he can put ball on floor and finish at rim.

lol kj has ability? how many free throw attempts does evans, cobb, kj have on year from getting fouled at rim? 20 combined? just imagine if shaq had any type real ball skills. go get a juco or grad player with shaq size but higher basketball IQ. If shaq could dribble and make lay up he'll average 15 easy. I know all about ability but basketball is a size game.

Not interested in potential. They haven't done it. Not interested in risking our season on them suddenly finding their shot. If we can pick up a grad transfer who is a knock down shooter from 3 I say grab him.

If I was you I would change your stance on KJ starting at the two and evans starting at three next year

This is tough to predict because you don't know each students situation and I have no inside knowledge here but just a few names that are floating around as possible graduate transfers:

Jack Gibbs - Davidson - 6'0 G 25.3 PPG/ 37%3PT
Brian Bernardi - Hofstra - 6'2 SG 87% FT/ 39% 3PT
Jeremy Senglin - Weber St - 6'2 SG 18.4 PPG / 47%3PT
Canyon Barry - College of Charleston - 6'6 SG/SF 19.7 PPG/ 85%FT (Son of Rick Barry)
Jordan Price - LaSalle - 6'5 SG 18.9 PPG/ 38%3PT
Ryan Taylor - Marshall - 6'5 SF 14.3 PPG/ 36%3PT
Aaron Valdes - Hawaii - 6'5 SG 14.3 PPG
Jaron Blossomgame - Clemson - 6'7 SF 18.1 PPG/ 41% 3PT

This speculation reminds me of past off-seasons.
I would love to go back and look at the few guys we really wanted (or guys we discussed a lot here) and see how they did. We lost several to St. John's and they all stunk. God's gift achua or whatever his name was. Anthony Mason Jr?? That juco or grad transfer scorer we had long thread about last year ( signed with Marquette?). Did any of them do much?

 

[ZCat]

Thanks for this.

Yes, thanks Tonka. Fun to speculate, but the best we will get is a Cobb. Sad BC we need a difference maker.

depending on how tall you say clark is, evans is just as tall if not less than an inch shorter. Evans will be on the wing, but that doesnt mean he is limited to only playing the 3 he could still get spot minutes at 2. He has the skill set to bring the ball up the court, and be a shooter or slasher.

1)troy
2)Cumberland would be ideal based on skillset and size, but gary was the first exception to the rule that older players will start
3)evans
4)clark
5)washington

That in my opinion is the best lineup we will run out next year. That is all depending on how everyone improves including KJ,JJ,Scott,Moore

I like it. Put the most **talented** team out there and let them learn. As we know, preseason "hype" ( based on " talent") teams don't always win as much in regular season, but do in the tourney. I want tourney wins.
I hope Cumberland is not too slow for this level.
