Oso planning to go pro
Cassius Winston is listed at 6'1" while Rowsey is listed at 5'10". Winston is a top 25 pure point while Rowsey is a shoot first guard playing at UNC Ashville.
I just don't see a 5'10" scoring guard who put those numbers up at UNC Ashville taking a ton of minutes from Duane Wilson or Traci Carter (or even Haniif Cheatham). I'd rather the staff go after a freshman or transfer power forward so that we have someone ready to go whenever Henry goes to the NBA and a small forward since we don't currently have that spot on lockdown.
Winston is definitely not 6'1. But it's still a poor comparison on my part.
Wasn't Mo Acker 5'8"? That worked out pretty well.
Maurice Acker shot the ball 6.8 times per game at a 44.3% clip and 49.5% clip from 3 point range. He also got 3.7 APG to 1.2 TO/game.Rowsey is a high volume, low efficiency chucker who doesn't take care of the basketball. If you guys think he can go from that at UNC Ashville to a floor general who somehow drastically improves his A:T ratio by taking about 5 steps up in level of competition then good. I have my doubts that he can do that.

Anyone else notice the games Rowsey didn't shoot 10+ shots? 1-7, 6 pts in 28 min. Vs Jacksonville State2-8, 5 pts in 25 min. Vs Radford2-6, 5 pts in 20 min. Vs Gardner-Webb1-8, 3 pts in 30 min. Vs High Point1-5, 3 pts in 18 min. Vs Winthrop
Don't see a fit.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
Sounds like a shorter Jake Thomas
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I think Wojo is going to give Carter the keys from day 1. His seemingly non-recruiting of any PG grad transfers is evidence of this. If Carter is truly good enough to lead the team from day 1, one of our biggest needs for 2016-2017 would be a backup PG. Assuming we get two grad transfers and Rowsey (and no one else transfers), we would only have two schollies for 2016. Perhaps Wojo wants to save those for two of Coffey, Hauser, and Kostas. Rowsey could fill in the need for a backup PG and Wojo could focus on recruiting a stud PG in the 2017 class. This would allow Wojo to focus on forwards in the 2016 class and have a pretty well balanced 16-17 squad with a lot of switchables at the 2, 3, and 4.2015-20161: Carter, Haanif2: Duane, JjJ, Cohen3: Lee, Wally, Anim4: Henry, Miller5: Luke, HeldtRedshirt: Rowsey2016-20171: Carter, Rowsey2: Duane, Haanif, Cohen3: JjJ, Coffey, Anim4: Henry, Wally, Hauser5: Luke, HeldtI think this might be what Wojo's master plan might be. But who knows?
Scratch Miller, going to Uconn
I want absolutely no part in a point guard who turns the ball over really dang close to as much as he has assists at a very low major level. I also want absolutely no part of a point guard who shoots the ball 15 times per game.
He was a freshman last year and will have a year to sit out and work on his game. Freshmen generally do not take good care of the ball, which you probably will find out with Tarci Carter next year.
He was a sophomore last year.....He turned it over a little over twice a game last year playing over 32 minutes. .Carlino turned it over at slightly higher numbers his first 2 years at BYU and at similar numbers last year for us.Competition will be higher but so will talent around him.Last season he had 1 turnover against Wake in 39 minutes...against South Carolina he had 2 turnovers in 31.If Wojo thinks he can help us then I say bring him on .He had some huge games(30 at South Carolina...26 @ Wake and some nothing games(like Duane did) His efficiency should go up as his usage comes down.
