He sounds perfect to me.

Honestly I'll if no "sure fire" point guards come to MU I hope Wojo would take a flier on a lesser grad transfer PG for depth. One year rental, scholarship opens back up after next season anyway. Little risk.

Agreed, taking a flier on a grad transfer is worst case scenario, and it's not all bad.

As an aside, most of America was rooting for Loyola, but those two buzzer beaters left me depressed. Way less likely Custer considers leaving now that he & that team are legends at the school.

That sounds like a great way to recruit someone.

It is.

Make sure their role is defined.

It's great for us and great for him. Up to the recruit if they want to stay at a mid major taking the current shot volume.

As long as we pound it into his head he's not here to take a lot of shots

Does he read scoop?

I prefer defining one's role in a more positive nature.

I prefer having as good a team as possible.

He wouldn't be here to shoot often. Let it be known.

All that said, one of the strengths of Wojo and the coaching staff (Brett Nelson primarily, I think) is identifying and developing good shooters.


Marquette is currently 3rd in the country in 3-point percentage, after finishing 1st a season ago. Rowsey, Howard and Hauser are in the midst of rewriting the school record book for long-range shooting.

I think we see why you're not a college sports recruiter.

And Jamal Cain is shooting 47% from deep as a freshman (3.16% pre-conference, 55.9% in conference play & beyond)
And Heldt went from 55% & 56% FT his frosh/soph year to 87.5% this year
And Theo went from 31.6% from the FT line in 2017 to 70.6% in 2018 (6/19 before NYE, 12/17 after; small sample size but still...)

Developing shooters is certainly not a concern anyone should have with this staff!

Not a shooter

Agreed. It isn't telling him not to shoot, it's saying we have an opening that was filled by a graduating senior who averaged 30 mpg and put up a 20/3/5 average line. That doesn't paint expectations, it presents opportunity.

Greg Elliott shot 8-for-16 (50%) from the line pre-Jan. 3. He's 28-for-30 (93%) since, including a run of 20 straight.
He shot 3-for-12 (25%) from beyond the arc pre-Jan. 3. He's 8-for-17 (47%) since.

I find it hard to believe Custer would wind up at MU with or without a Rambler NCAA Tournament run.

Yes, but that is leaving it up to the kids imagination that he is the guy to fill in that 20/3/5.

Sorry, but to say defining a kids role is wrong.....is simply wrong.

He wouldn't be brought here to score a lot(at least I hope not) so yes the correct move would be telling him of the situation he would be in.

Keyshawn Woods from Wake Forest is grad transferring. 6'3" averaging 11.9 ppg and is a capable shooter. Hasn't played point because they have Crawford so he's probably not what we are looking for.

Finally checked this guy out. TERRIBLE defender. Like, worse than Rowsey bad. He would help with some of our distribution concerns but would add to our defensive woes.

That Fordham cat though....sign me up

Anybody keeping a list of guys who have actually announced they'd be grad transferring that are potential high majors players?

If so, please share.
