21-22 Roster

[sportdawg]

I hope we can get some of our seniors to come back next year. If we don't, we'll only have 1 returning Guard (Cobe) with significant playing experience.

I would think it depends on their desire and opportunities to play in the overseas leagues. I wouldn't imagine some of those leagues are very financially rewarding, if the opportunity even exists.

[inudesu]

If the right ones come back (naturally these are the same ones who will have more options for making money playing somewhere) it could make a huge impact.

With our young talent and a couple of the better srs coming back to play a 5th year. . .

I wouldn't want to play us.

i have heard that JP is leaning toward returning. personally, he would b my first pick

Mine too. I was just thinking the same thing before reading your post. Pemberton is a big rebounder, plays great defense and can score from anywhere. If I only had one pick, he's the keeper in that senior class.

Is Kale Walters still on the team? He has been MIA at games for quite a while now. I think he is/was a walk-on, but I have been curious about his status. Of course Andrew Gordon reappeared after being gone for a while. I'd be okay with several of the seniors coming back.

Transfer from Incarnate Word - Started 20 Games

https://uiwcardinals.com/sports/mens...on-willis/8544

@BleedTechBlue


#LATech adds transfer G. Willis averaged 19 ppg at Incarnate Word in 2020-2021. #HBTD

[HogDawg]

A 19 PPG average is very good. He was also the Southland Conference's "Freshman of the Year" as a Freshman. He's obviously a shooter.

2020-21 season stats

• PTS. 18.9.
• REB. 4.5.
• AST. 2.1.
• 42.5% FG shooting
• 75.4% Free Throw shooter
• Averaged 33.8 min per game
• 3PT% = 36.6%

Not doubting those of you advocating for Pemberton, but I must have missed the games when he shined. He was always "just kind of out there" when I watched games. My pick of the seniors would be Ledoux, who at least is a scorer. But, I did not see every game, so...

Kale seems to have disappeared. I didn't see him in any of the videos from Frisco. I know he is still listed on the roster. Maybe he had a season-ending injury no one has mentioned.

[sportdawg]

Would be nice to have all back, but Archibald & Gordon would be top 2.

Sounds like a great addition!

I personally would take Ledoux over Gordon, if only taking two.

well if we had a vote... I would cancel you out
