Yah, but 42 is kinda small sample size

That's why I also included that he is 31% for his career.

He wouldn't need to shoot 130 3's at Marquette.  He'd be down low with 50-75 3's attempted being realistic.

He's just a much more realistic option than Fardaws, given the fact that Basile is a local kid and Fardaws has the whole country reaching out.

But, would he be happy with fewer trey attempts?

Basile would be a backup 4/5 at this level.  Dont think he's the impact 5 we need.  Maybe if Lewis leaves you bring him in to offset that loss a bit.

[GoldenEagles03]

That's just a guess.

If he shot 48% on 42 attempts and 29% on 138 attempts then one can assume he's highly capable in a low sample hitting the open shots.

If he did join a team like Marquette and was consistently hitting 3s, he wouldn't be capped at any certain number.  That was moreso just an estimation.

Saw Grant play in HS as my Son played against him in the State HS Tournament. Do not believe have seen Grant play since. Believe Grant's Dad was Grant's Head Coach in HS. Agree maybe not a spectacular addition but Grant would definitely be a solid addition.

Would we have any interest in him whatsoever without the local connection?  We had last year's Horizon League player of the year on our roster two years ago and he was but a role player.

Yes.

He's much different than he was in high school.  Plays out of the post. He backed down Koloko on the 1st bucket of the game for Wright State in the NCAA Tournament.  Has the ability to stretch but most importantly he rebounds.

The local connection is just convenient. I'm sure Fardaws Aimaq is the ideal target, but Grant is probably more realistic.

I fully expect Madison to be a major player for his services in his final season as well.

Yohan Traore (5-star Center, former LSU commit) decommitted today. Looks like Shaka was on him while at TX.

MU not in his top four.

Ithiel Horton transferring from Pitt.  6'5" guard who shoots pretty well from deep.

He had previously transferred to Pitt from Delaware (sat a year), and MU was on him back then in the Wojo-times. 

He did have a brush with the law this season, but that is basically a prerequisite with Pitt nowadays.

Punching a cop (allegedly) is a brush with the law ?

It's the most literal brush with the law possible.  There were several variations to the story, though, and the charges were dropped, so who knows?

I doubt Shaka would go after him for that very reason, but just thought I'd add him to the list, as ACC starting guards aren't often available.  He's originally from NJ, so maybe a pick-up for Holloway at SH?

Keep an eye on St. Joe's transfer Taylor Funk.  6-8 F 215, 13.2 ppg, 6.6 rpg, supposedly a strong defender.  One year of eligibility.

Travis Branham posted on Dodd's premium board "Marquette contacts St. Joe's transfer."  Not a subscriber, so I could only read the topic.  But after some internet sleuthing, I'm pretty confident that post is about Funk.

Yeah thats pretty much all it says.  We're in contact.  Feels like a one year stopgap for if Justin does leave.

Didn't he look into transferring last year or the year before too?

Pass! Why would we want a guy named Funk after what has become an annual late season tradition of sliding?

Maybe bringing the Funk would help us to do more of a shimmy than a slide?

Can't have a late season funk if you have a Funk all season.

I think it would be worth the tampering charges to bring in this guy as a package deal.

Double the funk?  Get Andrew Funk from Bucknell too.  Add Jalen Moore from Oakland and we can get passes around the perimeter Funk - Moore - Funk - Noyes.

Not sure that's a winning recruiting strategy though.

This is the kind of hard-hitting analysis that keeps me logging in several times a day.

Do we want the Funk?
Do we gotta have that Funk?

Fits a lot of needs: rebounding, three point shooting, and defense.

Hopefully we can start referring to 3 point shooting as "from Funkytown" rather than "from downtown"
