Recruiting as of 4/6

[Big Daddy 84]

Now that MH is on board and HE is headed to the NBA focus is on adding big for next year.  HE did Wojo a favor by making it clear that he was going into draft and hiring an agent.  Wojo has already reached out to potential grad transfers and one HS senior (I would say from up north but more  east north east) that there is playing time next year for a "big".  Hope to be able to share some more specifics after the 14th.

I decided to start new string to make it easier for all to share/follow.

By the way,  TC is almost a lock to be the starting PG next year.

By the 14Th, that is no fun, the kid might sign by then and you have no story.   A little gossip keeps us coming back.  A name keeps us intrigued, at least Woo
is out there looking around.    I agree about TC, but he does need some improvement before I can hand him over the job.  He is not Ryan A., yet.

[Anti-Dentite]

Does it sound like they are confident about landing one of the targets?

Dominican is north and east north east, ai na?

[vacinator]

Carter needs to work on his outside shot.  I am hoping that Rowsey or Howard get significant time at the point.  MU could use a PG whose outside shot needs to be respected - speaking of Archie...

Also, I would be good with Kostas but I suspect you are talking further north and east..

Thinking the same thing.

Sorry, headed out of country for a week. Ok a little extra tidbit. Talked to a Dad today in Peoria and his son will not be looking to be a grad transfer.

[Boone]

Hope Reinhardt isn't one of the grad transfers Wojo's serious about.

A little farther ENE,  where dollars, gallons and bacon are different.

Kalif Young

Oh...well that is obvious since MU offered months ago. Thought BD was trying to drop some new hints

[Big Daddy 84]

Not a new name, but more interest, playing time was/is a big concern.

Thanks as always BD! Scoop royalty

I disagree completely. Hand Traci the keys, it's like you forgot about his 5 3s in a game performance. You really want another year of a freshman PG? I have no idea why people are so dismissive of Traci, he improved throughout the season, way more of an offensive threat than Derrick ever was and a pretty solid defender as well.

Can Young play the 4? I see him listed as a 5.

In the video I watched of him he's a big boy, which is much needed. But he looks a bit slow footed and uncoordinated...until he has the ball in his hands off the dribble, which is the opposite of what I would expect. With the ball he looks smooth and quick, without it and defensively he seems to get tunnel vision and flinch at any move a ball handler makes.

[MU82]

I don't see why Carter (or Howard) should be handed anything.

If Howard is better in the 2 months leading up to the season, he should play more. If Carter is better, he should play more.

How much more complicated does it have to be? Sports should be the ultimate meritocracy.

I do think there will be times both are on the court together.

He make much more sense if we get a grad transfer PF as well.

Who else is leaving ?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Who else is leaving ?

No idea. My guess would be Wally - but I have no idea. If only one ship is available, we need a Grad PF - not Young, or really the dude from USC.

[vacinator]

Rowsey is not a freshmen... 

Carter shot 34% last year - lowest on the team. He needs to significantly improve his shooting if he is going to be full-time starter. MU needed everyone of those 5 threes  - but that game was an outlier.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeed more info. Withdrawls are hitting me hard

If they can turn JJJ into an outside scoring threat, I have every confidence that the coaching staff can help Traci with his shot as well.
