Sounds like there was some decent competition

This one doesn’t give me warm fuzzies. I just keep seeing SHJ. Looks like a volume scorer to me and I’m hoping this doesn’t take us out of the race for Goldwire or Saunders. Qua could prove me wrong.

A volume scorer??? He shot 52% from the field and 38% from distance last year. His TO's do concern me.

Whoo - guys got some moves and quickness. I like it...I like it a lot!!!

Me too.. Yikes He shoots 80% from the free throw line. We could have used him against Drake.

It is extremely hard to judge and you pay your money and take your chances, but based on his tremendous play in Div 2,and the awards he accomplished, I personally feel much more confident he will be much more beneficial to the shockers than most of the transferring Div I players who left their precious school for obviously one or more various unknown reasons, which may or may not be based on their lack of playing time.

I am excited to see what he can do. Don't get too caught up on him being D-II. At least he was one of the best in D-II. Sometimes kids just fall through the cracks. Definitely interested to hear his story.

Skills are skills though and he sure seems to have some.

And he also got a rugged body too. Looks very athletic. Now let's go get another big man.

Starting of with players from JUCO and D2...

Not saying they can’t/won’t be good, but with PLENTY of experienced D1 players available, you’d think WSU could land some.

A lot of the D1 kids want guaranteed spots and we don’t have them. They have to beat out current starters here and if they have that in them, a lot of them wouldn’t be transferring.

Just to piggyback here, per Taylor he was in the 91st percentile of offensive efficiency.

So, yeah, he’s a volume scorer in that he scored a lot of points but he does it efficiently.

Something I noted is that I don’t see a whole lot of mid range jumpers in his film. It’s mostly either penetrate and score, penetrate and dish, or shoot threes. I like that.

[Dan]

Another thing is that he was clearly the best player on his team, not to mention the conference. He carried the load, something he doesn’t have to do here, but it sure will be nice having another guy that can carry the load when Tyson is off.

Lot to like in these awards + he. took his team to the D2. finals. Has best shooting numbers of all the points we were looking at that were spoken about here on Shocker net. I’m excited to get him signed.

Looks a little like Malcom on the drives and a little like Rags on the 3's

Is he going to be making those shots at the rim in the AAC? Is his A/TO going to improve in the AAC?
