    L.J. Rose to visit

    Grad transfer L.J. Rose will visit WSU per Jon Rothstein. He is a 6-3, 200 PG who had two very good seasons at point for Houston after transferring from Baylor. He was hurt for all but two games of his senior campaign, earning a medical redshirt but graduated and will be eligible immediately as a transfer. Had 100-plus assists in both of his first two seasons at Houston while shooting 38 percent from three-point range for his career.

    Seems to be injury-prone. Missed two chunks of games his junior year with a nagging foot injury. But when healthy, had career averages of 9.0 ppg and 5.2 apg with 2.2 A/TO ratio. Had game highs of 25 points (at USF) and tallied 10 assists four times while at Houston.

    Prepped at Westbury Christian in Houston, where he was ranked the nation's No. 61 recruit by Scout.com... Also ranked No. 63 by ESPN, No. 70 by MaxPreps.com and No. 74 by Rivals.com.

          Cougars' senior guard L.J. Rose has been plagued by foot injuries since arriving at UH, but isn't letting that define his legacy at UH.

            Indeed he did. Although I will give LJ some benefit of the doubt because he likely isn't playing with teammates who are as good as the ones Fred had.

              He visited BYU back in mid-may. Haven't seen any other mentions of visits. If they can make room for him without losing another player, I think he would be a solid addition to the backcourt.

                  Baylor and Houston. Would love to be associated with those bastions of amateur athletics ethics.

                    As a starter for Houston, he missed 5 games at the beginning of conference play as a sophomore, the first and last 6 games (12 total) his junior year, and, of course, most all of last year.

                    While his minutes per game went up from 28.4 to 34.6 (22% increase) his junior year along with his scoring average from 8.9 to 9.8, other stats didn't fair so well. He went down in the following: FG% .400 to .372, 3 pt% .413 to .296, FT% .778 to .607, assits pg 5.5 to 5.3, TOpg 2.3 to 2.7 (acceptable given minutes played), PF pg 1.3 to 2.3.

                      I'm not so sure he would fit into our program well. I live in Houston, I am a big fan of their school but not their coach (Kelvin Sampson).

                      When I watched the Cougs a bunch on TV last year. They looked like they were playing on a playground. Players would go 1 on 1 with their moves and look to get open that way. It did not look to me like there were a lot of plays being called from the sideline and if there were, it was more like 'pitch it to the first open man and let him chuck it up'. There were no sets, the screening was atrocious

                      Maybe HCGM sees something I don't, but I would think that if he played here the way he played at U of H, Marshall would either age 10 years in a season or we would see a different pg on the floor rather quickly.

                        So you're saying he may be a good third PG option on the scout team behind JR and Solomon (sp)?

                          Can't ever have too many point guards. Just in case.

                            Last season sure illustrated that sentiment.

                              Agreed, If we have a way to get him on campus, picking up a senior PG with decent numbers at a D1 school is worth the risk for one year.
