IMO, it's interesting there hasn't been a PG. At least not mentioned. I'm not sure what to make of it. Could he be whiffing? Could our prize Freshman be more of a possibility than some believe?
Ok but is Dedan Jr going to be good enough to lead this team into the post season as a freshman? I seem to remember a few here, myself included wondering if Hicks could be trusted as a freshman? Shouldn’t we get a transfer like Allen or Davis?
Unless a player is the next coming of Derrick Rose, a freshmen pg is not going to lead a team to the ncaa’s, let alone a deep tourney run. So I agree with your take.
Yes... I'd expect them to bring in at least 2 more players, one to play Center and one as PG, outside a freshman... that also probably means a transfer out to open a scholarship
DJ Davis can score but I think he could give us both. I like Allen too, he’s taller and could give us a seasoned vet with the ball in his hands. I like the idea of that in those games when the clock is running down and your PG can either score or keep the ball moving and get it to a teammate in scoring position!
Oh wow 5-7 seed? Who do you think will be for sure better than us?
I know you are stating an opinion just like the rest of us but I don’t like hedging. I’m tired of settling around here. We need to compete for 1st in the MWC not 4th, just my thoughts…. There is too much talent on this new squad and if they underachieve, we will know where to look!
It’s fair because the track record isn’t good and though paper looks much better than previously, paper doesn’t always work either. So having some reservations seems pretty reasonable to me.
I hella agree with you. We need to compete for 1st every year. I'm just saying there's no way we are 5-7 and if we somehow end up there, it's CKK's fault!
Accountability... there's 2 NBA talents coming, there's a few solid pieces returning, there's a lot unknown... but you're absolutely right, there is no excuse, no settling at this point. It's year 3, you either show you can rise to the top or you get cut off...
I can't voice my opinion just like everyone else here?
We are in a good spot for Pharaoh. He wants to play with Dedan in college, but it seems like his interest in us is genuine and would come even w/o Dedan. Watched him run with SFG last spring/summer and he was impressive. Relentless attacking the rim and can really rebound and contest shots. His jumper is improving.
Who can dish out the most assists is who the Rebels need at point guard
True! But my question was who? If you have some potential names feel free to share, no need to state the obvious!
Dedan would reclassify to 2023.
No problem! Sorry I couldn't tell you more about other potential targets at this time. Seems like the trifecta was the most important thing and now they're re-evaluating.
I suppose it's possible that it could also be involving players that aren't officially in the portal yet, but I have no idea. Just putting out what I found regarding guys currently available.
That was kind of a statement, question combo, but I will check out the transfer list and throw out a couple of names. I was disappointed to lose Gilbert, but imao me he was a off guard not a point guard
Daeshun Ruffin or someone else?
Ruffin, you genius!
ACL injury in 2022 and had a lot of family stuff in 2023. He is good to go now.
