Grad. Transfer PF Options

[GGGG]

I'll say this.  Wojo is certainly being bold in how he is approaching next year.  Hopefully it works.

Yup. But at least it appears it's a plan. And not complete desperation.

[Herman Cain]

But that's the point. We've already got as some have said about 8 shooters and possibly our best shooting team in forever. We don't need a PF that's gonna camp out there.

We need a efficient big man in the paint(or a 4 year player with that potential)

Not sure how Gill defense is though.

Has a 40 inch vertical leap. So maybe he can get some of the hard ones.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

New PF on the list. Lew Evans, 6"9 230 lb PF from Utah state. 8.4 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 0.9 apg, 0.4 spg, 0.2 bpg, .412 FG%, .356 3P%. Would put him behind Ben Carter and Kalif Young but maybe on the same level as LG Gill.

Anyone know if we have a shot at Anthony Livingston.  He'd be one of my top choices.  2 years of eligibility.  Immediately eligible.

6'8" 230lbs, averaged 15.5 pts, 9.4 rebounds.

Cop-puncher. I'm betting Wojo steered clear of him.

Unless you know something I don't, Livingston only has one year of eligibility. He played two full seasons at Arkansas State and one season at San Jacinto Junior College.

I agree this is probably the case. However, I would be willing to at least talk to him to find out what happened. The articles I have read about it make it sound like a unique case. Also, speaking as someone living in a small town in the south....when a person of color punches a cop down here, it is never smart....but the cop sometimes deserved it. NOT saying that's what happened here. No information. Just saying I'd be willing to hear Livingston's side of the story.

That was my stance in regards to the cop punching incident.  Seems like this was a unique case.

Also, I missed him spending a year at a JC.  Still an interesting prospect, but less so if he only has 1 year.  I'm more concerned with 2017-18 and forward as far as bigs are concerned than I am 2016-17.

[HoopsterBC]

2017 is an issue upfront, but Wojo can sell good guards coming back and small forwards.  Whom ever he recruits at center probably will start, and maybe power
forward as well.  If he does that, the rebuild is over.  NCAA tournament or good-bye, figuring the following year, he will get Bailey and Joey Hauser if Sam likes it
at MU.

Will same pay for Joey's scholarship, though?

One of UNLV's few remaining players, Ben Carter, told ESPN he received his release to speak with other schools - but may still stay at UNLV.

Ha.  (I sincerely hope UNLV puts things back together but to hang around would be crazy.  I understand hometown stuff and all but still.  Actually feel somewhat bad for the young man.  He didn't ask for any of this.)

I believe if Carter leaves, new HC Marvin Menzies will have three scholarship players returning and ten to fill.  It's been such a rush for the exits - I think those figures are accurate.  The coaches can come and go as they please but the players all suffer.

George Karl would have given UNLV a "senior discount" to coach:

George Karl's proposed staff was Augmon, Welch and Karl's son. Due around $7 mil from the Kings, Karl was willing to coach at UNLV for 500k

Some LV locals are using humor to ease their pain:

What a story. Runnin' Rebels fans are in for a long year.

Menzies might be a better hire than Beard.  Longer sustained record of success at one school.

Is Sheryl Swoopes running the UNVL program?

Austin Arians (6'6, 200 lbs, G/F) grad transfer from UWM is deciding between Utah, Wake Forest, Wisconsin.

Avg: 11.4 ppg, 4 reb, 1.5 ast. 52 eFG%. Led UWM with 80 triples, next closest 43.

2/3 chance we see him next season at some point

Wake Forest has picked up Milwaukee grad transfer Austin Arians, source told ESPN. Forward averaged 11.4 points last season.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Appreciate the thoughts.

He had two season ending injuries in JUCO so he's on the the Otule plan. I think he has grown significantly. I haven't seen him in person, just watched a few videos and the NCAA tournament game against Duke. He appears to be bigger than Sandy but I could be wrong. Either way, 18.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 1.4 spg, and 0.9 spg is nothing to shake a stick at. Could he do it in the Big East? Doubtful, but I think he would contribute. Not sure he's what we want though.

We'll get to see what Pryor can do in the Big East after all. Committed to Georgetown today. He's going to be a b*tch to guard next season.

either sheryl is not providing enough "safe zones" and is too "old school" for these pampered millenials, or she is the women's modern day version of bobby knight and she wasn't "that" when she recruited these players; a little doc jekyll and mr.hyde thing going on?

Yup so really looks like its down to 1 of(maybe both??) of the buys coming in next weekend.

I liked Carter but if Wojo can close a PF here soon Im good!
