I'l dont hate it. Also checks the "Shaka had a relationship" box too.

Still feel guard is our need but Aidoo would be a huge addition

He has a solid jumpshot too. Would be awesome.

Providence picked up their Air Craft Carrier for the next few years, 7'0" 285 lb from St Joes.

Shaka's relationship was what exactly? He decommited pretty much the same time Shaka was hired.

[MUfan12]

Aidoo's relationship was with Gainey. MU had very little chance of keeping him unless Justin stayed on staff.

Yup.  He'd be an awesome pickup, but I would be shocked if he came here.

No he doesn't.  His shot is horrible.

[Warrior_2002]

Feel like Aidoo will fill in so nicely with our team but can't see him coming here. Guessing somewhere with more NIL $

Those 17' jumpers send a chill down my spine.

Enjoy at the rim though!

Where would you say jump shots inside the arc rank in importance to Shaka?

Depends who is taking them. He had no problem with Oso taking push shots from up to 17 feet. I'd rather a true jumper.

[GoldenEagles03]

Marquette has reached out to Seton Hall transfer Dre Davis.

Not really sure how he'd fit, but interesting nonetheless.

I don't remember a single Oso push shot from 17 feet. Maybe a half-dozen from just inside the FT line all season - maybe, probably fewer. The VAST majority of Oso push shots were from 6-7 feet and in. And you know that, so I'm not sure why you're claiming Oso was firing up 17-footers.

Semi-related ...

TBS ran a graphic during the Bama-UConn game showing that Bama had attempted 4 mid-range shots in the entire NCAA tournament. So we're not the only team that has had success with that strategy.

Oso took many free throw line or just beyond floaters.

[tower912]

Beyond the foul line?   Maybe two.

[PGsHeroes32]

He took two beyond the foul line in first 10 minutes of Prov BET game

That was it

He has taken plenty of foul floaters in his career. Not just 2.

Offense is all personnel based. Will they try to shoot 3s and dunks still? Probably to some capacity, but Darryl shot midrange, Justin shot midrange, Oso utilized the midrange. They won't eliminate it if they have the personnel to utilize it.

I think you're right but it can't hurt to at least kick the tires.

[CountryRoads]

Right it's not completely outlandish. He did originally commit here after all.

That's interesting. Not a position that I would have expected, but a proven scorer.

42% from anywhere inside the arc is horribly inefficient offense.  And the form is gross.  As is 62% from the free throw line.  And 8/32 for his career from 3.  And 39% eFG% on catch and shoot (like, impressively gross).  Just a bad shooter all around.

I do love that they showed "where he scores from" as the right elbow, and then showed like 2 shots from the right side of the court and everything else was jump hooks from 7 feet.  Lol.

Went to the Tennessee at Mizzou game and anytime Aidoo took a shot that wasn't dunking the ball Rick Barnes tipped so far back in his chair in disgust that I thought he might tip over backwards.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

It's decent enough to keep defenders honest, but yeah...that's not a good shot at all.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

He did not.

Nope.

[tower912]

If he has eaten Real Chili, he has taken a foul floater.
