Nice size for a guard.  Well this is the size we have been looking for out of the guard spot.  He clearly can score.... anyone know what kind of defensive player he is?

I was so focused on the grad transfer market, i didn't really pay much attention to the standard transfer market.

so, for those in the know... what can you tell me about this kids game?

Thanks

Would have to think he believes he's penciled in as starter for 2019 and 2020 seasons. Probably will scare off some 2019 top tier guys looking to start right away at PG. Like what I see and prefer the bird in hand approach though. Would have liked Carton, but would have to beat out everyone for him.

Might be able to sell Carton on a 3rd guard role behind Howard and Koby in year one since he'd likely be penciled in as a starter in years 2-4

I’ll take a proven mid major player over a highly ranked high school kid all day long.

This signing should not be understated, McEwen can play. If Howard stays four years, could argue the ‘19-‘20 team will be real interesting.

I’m excited about this but I’m a bit skeptical as it seems he’s really bad on defense, at least that’s what I remember reading. Also a lot of turnovers. Is that right?

I've been thinking the same.  Not everyone can be Duke or UK, who fills their roster with 5 star, one-and-dones.  Given the growing number of transfers each year, filling gaps in the roster with Grad and Trad Transfers seems like an innovative, low-risk approach to recruiting. 

Guys like Morrow, Chartouny and McEwen are known commodities, mature, and expected to contribute from day one. 

With freshmen you never know how long it will take to develop, if they will develop, if they will bolt after investing multiple years of coaching and prior to reaping the rewards, etc.

I like this approach, and feel it is a strategy that might just be here to stay!

Welcome aboard Joseph and Koby!!!

Here's kinda how I see it.  Wojo will know where Koby fits by next year at this time.  And let's remember that Greg will be working hard to stay ahead of him in Kasten. In '19, both will be Juniors capable of delivering quality minutes.  Let the better man win.

They'll still have a scholarship available for Carton though, shouldn't write him off by any means yet.

Very happy with this news.  Seems like he should actually be an upgrade as replacement for Chartouny, and that's taking nothing away from Chartouny pick up.   Great job by Wojo and staff!

What a big weekend for the program.  Congratulations to the staff for their hard work and acquisitions of two strong transfers that will (combined) really help our team for the next several seasons.

Are we full for 2019 now?

I'm a big fan of building through 4 year players, so I don't know how to feel about this + chartouny

Here's another way to think about it.  We traded Froling for McEwen.

Yes please.
