Potential Incoming Players

I want two taller wings that play 1-3 and two bigs that can defend PnR, rebound and rim protector(I’ll take couple projects)
 
Here's another interesting site to evaluate transfers: evanmiya.com

Click "Available Transfers" on the top ribbon. His metric is BPR, or Bayesian Performance Rating. It incorporates individual stats similar to PER, team performance, and corrects for zero leverage possessions (sort of like WPA in baseball). Different ratings are given for offense and defense.

From UNCG, Kaleb Hunter is #25 and Angelo Allegri is #55. CJ Fredrick is #3 (including the best offensive rating by far).
 
We're talking to Antonio Daye Jr from FIU. He's a 6'1" junior pg. This makes me wonder if DeJulius is still weighing his options. Daye seems to be a defense first player, with an elite 3.8 steal rate and only a 2.6 foul rate. He's a poor defender according to BPR though. Poor 3pt shooter and turns the ball over a lot.

Doesn’t sound too desirable to me.

He's desirable enough that Kansas and Arkansas are after him. He played on a very high tempo team, which is becoming a pattern for Wes targets. In addition to his high steal rate, his other strength is getting to the rim, which he did almost 8 times a game (for reference, our rim attempts leader was Keith at just over 5 per game). He also went to the line more than 5 times per game (matching Keith). Daye would be a nice addition for an uptempo pressing team, especially if he can improve his shooting and limit turnovers.

Based on previous messages I’ve seen you post,
I would defer to you. My contention was
concern about the poor defense, high TO rate
& poor 3 pt %. Steals & getting to the
rim/finishing would be great.

We're one of a bunch of top tier programs who have reached out to 6'1" junior DeVante Jones of Coastal Carolina. He's one of the top guards available by most metrics. Very good scorer and rebounder with an elite steal rate. I'd be shocked if we landed him given his options (Baylor, Kansas, and Michigan among others).

He looks like a crazy athlete. Not sure he can do anything else but I’ll take him. The videos I’ve seen just show him dunking so I don’t know what he can do beside that.

Langston averaged 10 pts, 7.6 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and only 1 turnover per game. He had a 56 true shooting percentage. Attempted about 1 three per game at 31%. His game and stat line are very similar to Tari, with slightly better shooting and ball control, and slightly less blocks and assists. I think he would start at the 4 for us, allowing JD to split time at the 3/4.

I just read an article on him about him opting out of NLI from Bama. Bama was 2 players over the roster limit. That means two players had to leave...lol.

But his offer list was pretty big time
 
Chad Baker is leaving Duquesne and man does he ever check some boxes. 6-7 wing with 4.2 block rate and 2.4 steal rate. 81% ft shooter. 41.7% 3 point shooter. And best of all he was just a freshman.

Seems very similar to Davenport in a lot of ways. More blocks and steals, gets to the line more, a few less rebounds. Foul rate is a little high but that's normal for a freshman.
 
Baker is not on the list yet, but he will slot in as the 7th best available transfer on Evan Miya's site, just ahead of Tre Mitchell. I'm guessing he will have a lot of options.

There's no smoke yet about incoming transfers from UNCG, but if I had to take my pick of players off their roster, here would be my top 3:

1) Isaiah Miller (5th year) - 6'0 PG:

2-time SoCon POY and DPOY who would be one of the best players in the AAC from day 1. Has entered the NBA draft and hired an agent, so the odds of getting him back in the college game may be low.

2) Mohammed Abdulsalam (4th year) - 6'9 F/C:

Strong/mobile back-to-the-basket player who led the team in rebounding last season despite playing just 19 min/game.

3) Hayden Koval (5th year) - 7'1 C:

Lanky big guy who played 3 years at Central Arkansas before joining UNCG last season. He led the team in WS/40 min while hitting 31% of his 3s, averaging 2.2 blocks/game, and only committing a ridiculous 10 turnovers on the season.

I wanted to revisit these UNCG guys and look at their BPR numbers. Koval would be a great option to fill a one year gap. He had a 46.1 overall BPR last year (30.2 offense, 16.0 defense), which would make him our best offensive player and second best overall after Newman.

Abdulsalam was 29.2 overall (9.3 offense, 19.9 defense). They would both provide a nice frontcourt foundation.

Agreed, our biggest outage is who is going to take 25 minutes at the 5, need that locked down ASAP.
