He’s definitely an athlete. I like how he attacks the basket. I wouldn’t mind getting him but we do need a true PG imo.
Help is on the way...
- Thread starter lobbybuu
- Start date
The problem is there are not many of these players in the portal.
Guys, there is no right or wrong answer. I see Drake as the modern lead guard who can defend, run the pick and roll and move the ball. But what he can also do is attack off the bounce in the half court and his jumper is pure. It's a matter of preference.
It's not to hard to read.. he posted an article about the targets and also a few sub threads on potential guys. It's all about how the 4 big guys we're hearing coming to town work out, which will do wonders for attracting the final pieces. .. and I'm also pretty sure he's talking about Boswell from Arizona based on previous tweets
Like I said, just get a PG here, not vested in any one guy!
Davis and Webster in at the same time would be a nightmare for any opponent.
Also, Drake has a little "hot sauce" to his game! Check the bottom video:
Thats exactly what he is! If the plan was to play Nowell at the 2 (as some people on this board were suggesting), I'd rather have Davis there. Now if we put Nowell at the 3, I'm all on board with that.
Nice player. No doubt. But Keylan Boone shot 41% from 3 last year and is 6'8".
Boswell is just pure speculation from his part. That’s all dependent on Nembhard going there and then forcing Boswell to want to transfer. Even if he does transfer I believe Illinois would have the best shot. Gets to go back home, they don’t have a real PG either.
The Boswell speculation is dumb to me. Arizona would play both of them at the same time and their transition game would be devastating. No one told me this so this isnt a fact, but I think Boswell would love playing with Nembhard.
As of right now, I think the most probable players to come are the Boones and Hill. Cisse and and Drake Allen are still being heavily recruited and DJ Davis is getting recruited hard by LMU and their program is on the rise.
I agree, it's all speculation... I'm just connecting dots of that thread...
Also while some agree they'd love to play together, we are in a world that is mostly now about "Me first" and having a guy come in who takes your spotlight at your best position and potentially minutes(depending on usage/play) makes the threat of transferring a potential
Not saying Drake isn't or couldn't be our PG, I have not seen the video yet.
Just remember that we had a tall, athletic guard playing point that struggled with turnovers. And that severely limited our offense knee capped us against the press.
Drake is like Jordan McCabe but more athletic. Maybe, but JM had a lead leading A:TO ratio when he started. We have heard these comparisons before.
Not saying that Gilbert and Drake are the same player. But we often get into the game where we compare 2 players with always highlight how the new player may have the advantage and not even mention how the old player may be better.
He may be just what we are looking for. Either way I would like to land at least 1 full proof PG.

Drake Allen is interesting with his length. My concern going from WAC to MW is a big step up. We’ve seen more heralded WCC players be average when competing in the MW.
SDSU’s transfers from Seattle U didn’t do too bad!
Darrion Trammel for SDSU transferred from the WAC and led them to the Championship game.
Darrion went from 18 points a game in the WAC to 9.8 and 5 assists to 2.9. All of his percentages went down as well.
Drake Allen averaged 11 points and 3.7 assists.
Think he could help. Just hope he’s not starting for us. Seems to be a plus defender, which is good.
Darrion went off in the Bama game, which was great to see. But his stats show how hard it is to transition to MW.
He didn't have to score as much! He was on a better team.
Does anyone remember Cody Doolin!? 😂
Drake doesn’t seem athletic enough to create on own. Hopefully we can get a starting PG who can!

Was Trammel quick, strong and athletic enough to play on a national level? Absolutely
For every Trammell that someone else gets, we get a Doolin!
Don’t think it was because he was on a better team, but because he was an incredible inefficient as a scorer.

Nobody on SDSU has been a prolific scorer since Jamaal Franklin.... their system doesn't allow for it and everyone plays with in that system... it's a discipline that took 25 years to build
Their system is defense first and Bradley has been pretty efficient for them.
Haha, it got put in my list of UNLV stuff somehow, so I misread it. Sorry
Athletic enough? Please! How many time did Doolin break a player down in the half court and slam in traffic? Zero! In fact, I remember multiple times Keshon Gilbert last year attempting the same in the half court and couldn't flush and finish. Drake has bounce.
Let‘s hope so, I believe he is in for a visit this week, right?
His list was pretty legit, if accurate. Florida, Cinci, LSU, Memphis, Gonzaga, etc.
Cisse will be in for a visit, not sure about Sharp. Even though sharp is taller, Cisse is more talented and would be my first pick.
