    This really is the best possible pickup... A 1 year pickup of not only an experienced point guard... Not only an experienced former McDonald's all American point guard... But a experienced former McDonald's all American point guard who has multiple years scouting and playing against the entire conference. Now get a really good younger point guard in that's willing to learn from him for a year and we good to go

      He's an upgrade offensively. He's also considered elite defensively. Gilbert, Etienne and Dexter is a pretty damn good backcourt especially on the defensive end
      Hey Stick, you think we'll go hard after Johnny Juzang?

        Gregg is the Guard Whisperer. Al has more untapped potential than any guard to play here for him.

        Gregg is drooling.
        I truly hope you are right, but all I am saying is that are some things on his stat sheet that raise questions (such as a 1.65 ATO).
        The mountains are calling, and I must go.

        • The key to whether any of the players we bring in next year, perhaps more than their individual stats, will be can they mesh together as a team be willing to focus on winning games not on their personal stats. That is what made Fred, Ron, Tekele and Evan so good. Not sure we will ever see that again but would be nice to strive for it.

            Well, we just lost several that didn't appear to be in that class. Maybe this kid fits that template.

              I share your opinion on his shooting. However, if he can facilitate the offense, which was not happening most of the time under GS and JB, everyone else gets better.

              Etienne gets better shots, Dennis gets better shots, whoever is playing in the post gets better shots.......

              And if he can knock down a shot or 2 a game when the defense sags to keep them honest, maybe we dont struggle to get to 30% shooting as a team.

              And hes familiar with conference foes.

                  No idea. I'm no where close to an insider or recruiting expert.

                  • If he manages to get a second year too?? Could go from a home run pickup to a grand slam pickup

                      Would be major, and I don't mean mid-major!!

                      • Good get. He's a legit PG. No, he can't shoot much, so they'll play off him, but they'll need to, cause he's a driver.

                        • A few of you are some dour sonsabeaches. A relatively bright spot in a pretty crappy time around the world in a macro sense, and in the WSU MBB in a micro/minor context, and you're looking for the downside in this newsbit.

                          And I thought I was a negative person. Dang... got me beat.

                            • I’m always trying to see the humorous side of everything (helps keep me sane). I’m convinced we could sign the ‘second coming’ of Lebron, Bird, Jordan, Doctor J and Fred (yep, puttin’ Fred in this group) and some people would still find a way to see the glass half empty. “We don’t have a true 5 man in this group’”
