The starting 5 should be excellent, with Lofton, Crawford, Archibald, Williams and transfer G Willis. Now we just need some depth. It's time for Christon and Thomas to step up. Could Freshman Will Allen be our 6th Man of the Year?Originally Posted by skilldawg
I think all 3 of the true freshmen may b legit. we still have at least one spot left which I would prefer to go to an upperclassman stretch 4. There has to b one out there that can contribute
No 13 apparently on the way. David Green from Orlando area.
We recruited him out of high school, but he signed with Hofstra.
Free transfer with 4 years of eligibility left.
6’7” 216

Yes, we need Thomas step up. He didn't show me much of anything this year. Was just always "kind of out there" but not contributing. I liked Gordon, he had his moments and showed what he was capable of, but, he never had the true break out, kind of hung on the cusp. Yeah, a few times he got tagged with some horrible ticky-tack fouls and had to sit for long periods, but still, he had his chances for some serious minutes. We need someone who can spell Lofton and deliver quality minutes.
Thomas will actually b a Senior academically. Absent a huge leap in production, he should not b back, giving us a minimum of 3 new scholarships for 2022.
He has consistently been a step slow defensively; occasionally, he has overcome it with superior athleticism.
His problem is not playing to fundamentals, not innate ability.
Green sounds a bit like a "project". He struggled for playing time at Hofstra, and only averaged 3 ppg. I do like the fact that he's got good size, and 4 years to develop.
outside of Junior, a lot of freshman don't play many meaningful minutes
I'm sure most of us already know that. But when any new player joins our program via a transfer, I think it's very fair to assess that players prior success and failures at his most recent stop. I just wouldn't call 3 PPG and 1.7 rpg at Hofstra a success. That doesn't mean he won't develop and become a better player. But his size (6'7, 225) and the fact that he still has 4 yrs left are his best assets at this point, as far as I'm concerned.
and he is left handed��
There has to be some potential with this guy. Player of the Year for the Orlando Area. Played at a 7A school. Orlando is big enough where he had to play against some competition.
sounds like covid stuff limited his development. may b a diamond in the rough.
6’7” 216? Need to put some muscle on that boy. I am definitely no spring chicken, but as old as I am, the fact he has 7” more height and only 12 more lbs than me has always been an issue in basketball to me. Beef him up! Kenny Jr proved you can be larger and still move.
