Seagears to Marquette?

[dwaderoy2004]

Paint Touches tweeted put Marquette and Rutgers transfer Jerome Seagears have seta visit.  Would be a really nice get.  Have read NCAA may grant all Rutgers transfers waivers for immediate eligibility due to mike rice fiasco. 

[Ellenson Guerrero]

If we can get him immediately then I'm all for it. Not sure he's worth waiting a year for though.

Would be a good get.

[mufansince72]

Rather have the other Rutgers guy

[GoldenZebra]

Carter or Seagears immediately is a good grab. Even if they dont replace Vanders scoring, they provide another facet of depth to the guard position. I dont think JJJ is gonna be an impact player right out of the gates, but I see him filling a similar role to Todd his freshman year, but scoring a bit more.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

He's a solid player and former borderline top 100 recruit but do we really need another point guard? We already have 3 (Du. Wilson, De. Wilson, Dawson) and I think Duane will be able to make up for the large majority of Junior's production by himself. Would rather have a 2 or a 3.

[GGGG]

You just listed two freshmen and a junior who has significant deficiencies.  This is a potential top 10 team...an experience PG would be great.

And Duane could definitely play an off guard position.

Point taken, I'm just really high on Wilson. There's no telling how good he'll be though so an experienced PG would definitely help, I agree.

Yep....would much rather have Eli Carter.

[jeffreyweee]

Shot 38% from 3. Would be a solid contributor but no game changer. I'd take it.

YES!

Decision Making
Defensive Presence

A big time athlete who can play either guard spot, Seagears has a lot of potential. He exploded on to the scene late in his high school career, and began showing his ability to score from inside and out. Seagears does need to transition from a scoring combo guard into a true point guard and that means making better decisions with the basketball.

[GoldenZebra]

Carter would be better from a pure scorer...but he isnt even looking at MU i thought

Here's a highlight reel from HS.

Looks like he has a lot more "flash" to his game than someone like junior.  If he can shoot that would be very helpful.  Agree I'm not totally sure if we need another PG like this but we'll see.  Sorta reminds me of AI.

I assume by that you mean a point guard because of height, not game.

Just looked at the mixtape.  A mixtape of a HS PG without a single play where he is creating for someone else.  If Buzz wants him, I'm all for it.  But, let's not miscategorize him as a PG based on his height.  I'd think that DJO isn't a bad comparison.

Yes, similar height and flash to his game.  Iverson was a shooting guard.  The thing is, AI is/was one of the best to ever play the game. He had the talent to make any great play on the court.  Seagears appears to be a short shooting guard, hence my comparison.

So he'd be our 5th highest rated newcomer?  I'd rather give Duane the minutes.  He will make everyone forget the name Dominic James.

Be serious.  People can't here forget DJ Newbill.

This exactly. We could use another point. I'd prefer a senior grad transfer, but if he can play next year I think Seagears would be a very good add.

[willie warrior]

Another PG? We already have 3, and some on this board have said that J. Wilson can play the point, while others have suggested that Mayo can play Point. Oh I get it, we can play a PG at every position, becuase OX is a PG in a big man's body!

[bilsu]

Most freshmen are inconsistent and the worst position for inconsistency is point guard. I love Derrick for the toughness he brings to the court, but he is not a distributor. I do not have great faith in Mayo being available every game. Thomas is a good teammate and I am glad to have him back on the team. We need an experienced point guard more than anything else on this team.

[brewcity77]

Yep....would much rather have Eli Carter.

I'd prefer Myles Mack to either of them. Carter is strictly a volume shooter and Seagears isn't really the true point guard we need. But I would take Seagears ahead of Carter as I don't think Carter would look as good in an offense where he couldn't take 12 shots per game.

Is Mack transferring?  He would be the ideal get, would basically reproduce and improve Vander's numbers from this past year.

No, see attached.  These guys are looking at a bunch of schools.

Myles Mack hasn't announced yet but is said to still be making his decision. I think it's worth giving it a couple days in case he decides to explore his options.
