Kolek planning to go pro
So he’s testing the NBA waters and is possibly SMU’s best player, but is a step down from Greg and Sacar. If that’s the case, Greg and Sacar must be first round picks!
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
You watch a lot of Pony basketball forgetful?I guess best player is a subjective term but I think a guy who is 3rd in points, 1st in rebounds (as a 6'3 guard), 1st in assists, 1st in steals, was considered the top perimeter defender, all with a nice low TO% of 10.7% has a pretty strong argument. This is all with him playing through a shoulder injury for a good chunk of the season which Whitt described as something that made him play one handed for part of the season.Personally, I'd put him at least on par with Sacar, probably a little above and above anything we've seen from Greg so far.
Don’t see a fit, either, but he’d have the potential to be pretty dynamic with Markus. Plus defender part intrigued me as well. Gives you lots of options defensively to really grind down opposing guards. Purely speculative, of course
He probably will not come here if he does not fit. However, why would people pass on him. He would be using a scholarship we are not using anyway. He has to be better than nothing.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
Rutgers Eugene Omoruyi (sp?) grad transferring. Yes please.
The team went through a high profile transfer of 2 players. They now have 11 under scholarship with the chance Symir Torrence joins this fall. You've gotten a couple guys to stay that were considering grad transferring and the last 2 posts are about grad transfers who would compete directly with those 2 returning players.Pass. Stay at 11 and 12 if Torrence wants to come.
Jeez, I don't know. Markus, Sacar, Koby and Greg not to mention Akanno.
If the grad transfers are better players...You take them Ted. I know you're a HUGE chemistry guy, and I respect that, but at some point, you have to understand that talent trumps all else. You can have the "nicest" team in the country where everyone gets along great..but if they aren't very good at basketball, what does that get you?? I'm not saying that's the current MU team at all, it's just an example. There's over 700 transfers every year now...it's the way it is in CBB whether we like it or not. If I can bring in someone that's better than someone I currently have on the roster, don't I owe it to my team as a Head Coach, to do that?? The first responsibility is to win.
Bullcrap.
Tevin Mack also grad transferring. Could be a nice piece in the wing rotation.
Would love some depth at the forward. Would like a better shooter than Omoruyi but he is at least a threat to score from outside. May not matter as the addition of Jayce makes me think we will be running a different offense next season.I'd actually prefer Mack to Omoruyi, better fit for what we need and while he was just okay at Alabama, he was pretty great at Texas. I seem to recall some off the court conduct issues with Mack at Texas so that would need to be evaluated. Would love if we kicked the tires on either of them.
Solid research report on Omoruyi. https://www.app.com/story/sports/college/2019/05/29/rutgers-basketball-eugene-omoruyi/1268151001/
According to this article, Omoruyi has not graduated early and will have to sit out a year.
