Already in the "where are we with Morsell" thread, but deserves it's own.

Welcome young man...

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Nice.

[Uncle Rico]

Should be a great dude for leadership on a young team.  Very good news.

His senior comp at KenPom?  Sacar Anim

[Litehouse]

Alright, alright, alright!

[Clam Crowder]

I dont know a ton about his game because I dont watch much Big 10 basketball-I saw he averaged around 3 APG but he will be a 2 for us correct?

[The Lens]

Great addition, he'll help a ton with culture and defensive mindset.

Going to run a lot of point I would suspect.

Thats kinda his next step to the league.

Scholarship table updated.  Technically "full" for next year, but pending Garcia's final decision.

Decent assist rate, turns it over a lot, however

Well that's interesting.

Welcome!
Great news! Teach the youngsters what it takes to be conference DPOY.

If a few guys can step up and hit some shots they could surprise.

Too bad DG wants to chase a blue blood, because he's exactly what they need to be pretty good.

Confusing that he's chasing a blue blood now. From what I recall he didn't include one on his HS list and as a McDonald's all American I'd imagine he certainly could've gotten blue blood offers if he wanted

I wouldn't say he's chasing a blue blood. The only blue blood that's reached out to him, according to reports, is UNC. Others include the likes of Arizona (no, they're not), Illinois, Okie State, George Mason and Minnesota.

Xactly

I hope he does to our opponents' star players what he did to Markus- shut 'em down. Morsell will give our freshman a taste of solid college level defense during practice and help get them ready for facing strong defenders this season.   

[MuggsyB]

Bam!!  Let's go now!  Immediate impact starter for MU.  Now I know this is likely a transition year but there are quite a few intriguing pieces on our roster.  Perhaps we will surprise some people in Shaka's year one?   Regardless I fully expect to get back on track quickly.

[CountryRoads]

Great get. We know what we are getting defensively with Morsell, but I am more interested to see what we will get offensively. He hasn't been bad by any stretch offensively, it's just that his stats have remained almost constant across the board in each of his four years at Maryland.

[Skip Intro]

I know Morsell's defense is what has most of us excited, but I wouldn't doubt if the coaching staff sold him on MU by promising to let him loose on offense, too.  He could go anywhere and play lock-down defense, but for his future draft hopes, the freedom to showcase his offensive ability (and decent stats) will be key.  I could see his standard 7+ FGA/game easily turning into 10+ FGA, particularly of Dawson is gone.  And if he's also running the point, the APG will go up, as well. 

[MuggsyB]

Are we confident he can play the Point?

[Uncle Rico]

Are we confident he can play the Point?

I think he can but it'll be messy at times
