Yeboah and Demir are the exact kinds of guys I was hoping they'd pursue. They can just be 3 and D guys, not have to provide star minutes, and if they don't pan out they are likely 8th-10th guys anyway. If they are better than expected and push Brenden/Sacar/Cain for minutes, even better.
With all due respect Brew, they should be aiming higher then this..having to rely on Bailey/Cain as starters... great kids, they work hard, and undoubtedly will improve during the offseason..but they are best as role players..one of them starting?? That's okay, but both?? That's not going to replace Sam and Joey's production...that's just reality.
The idea that we will get players who mimic their production is not reality. Most likely, McEwen steps in as a starter. Then one of Bailey, Cain, or an as yet unknown steps into the other spot. And you hope the two new starters, along with progression from the rest of the team, offsets the loss.For your own sake, you need to accept that we aren't going into the transfer market this off-season & finding two guys that can replicate the production the Hausers provided. Only one team in the country will do that this summer, and that's Wisconsin, Michigan State, Virginia, or Iowa.
Hey man, you have been beating the "expectations can't change just because the Hausers left" drum yourself. So...why should they?? Granted Joey's production can be made up for, or close to it, with Bailey/Cain. If Wojo isn't aiming higher because he doesn't want to bring in another starter and upset the current players..well..it's his job to put the absolute best team he possibly can on the floor.
Program expectations shouldn't change. But Kerry Blackshear isn't walking through that door and there aren't any other proven difference makers out there.The burden will fall on the players that are here and the grad transfers should be expected to be bench players because that's the likely reality.I think Wojo needs to deliver. I just don't see that many home runs among the grads at a position of need. Yeboah looks as promising as any of the mid and low majors.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
Mentioned in another thread, but add Akwasi Yeboah (6-6 SF, 16.7 ppg and 7.7 rpg at Stony Brook) to the list of grad transfers MU is talking to.
Seventh Woods UNC back up point guard put his name in for transfer . Will have one year of eligibility left. Saw handwriting on wall when UNC got Cole Anthony commitment.
MU has been in contract with Kentucky transfer Jemerl Baker.
I don't doubt this given he was interested in us before. Any link or anything?
�������� �������������� @EderSanchezArizona, Arizona St, Cal, Utah, Providence, Marquette, Nebraska, San Diego St, Fresno St, St Mary’s, Santa Barbara among others are schools that reached out to Kentucky transfer Jemarl Baker. Visits are set to begin this month.
6'5 wing Isaiah Moss from Iowa just entered the transfer portal. Went to Simeon in Chicago. Averaged 9.2 ppg and shot 42% from 3PT. You'd have to think we would be reaching out, right? He'd be immediately eligible.
Maybe MU reaches out but I am not sure it's a perfect fit. He doesn't really address the rebounding issues. If he was 6-8 and could rebound, then definitely go after him.
