Our newest Portal commit for basketball?
Jans just got another commit from the portal, Jamel averaged 12.8 ppg 3.4 rpg 3.9 apg as a gaurd for them. Not bad stats but I do worry about how these mid major guys with decent stats will translate to SEC basketball. Yes these mid major schools make runs in tournaments, but that takes alot of luck and getting hot.... they don't go through grueling SEC, ACC, Big Ten etc schedules.
Also makes me worry a little bit about Isiaih Mosley and his commitment. We have 2 spots left and one of those is probably for a stretch 4 guy.
I just hope Jans is taking who he Really believes in and not having to settle due to not having enough gas money to even MAKE it to the Auction. I think some here may underestimate NM State's competition meaning Jans may not need as much transitional learning as you think.
Didn't see you started this already. Can a mod combine the threads
This guy is strictly playing PG. Not related to Mosely... we are in running for a stretch 4 that will be a starter too.
This^
Gonna battle with Davis to start?Quote:

If Shak is coming off the bench then we should be pretty good next year lolQuote:

Shak off the bench? I wouldnt say that just yet. Obviously none of us know the lineups yet but how do you figure that? And who do you have starting at the 2 ahead of Shak? If Davis starts at point he can't shoot 18% from 3 and 65% from the line for us like he did last year.Quote:

Im not saying they are bad players at all... they all seem solid, but If you look around the league outside of our program there are some studs out there in our conference.. other than Tolu I don't see that on our team just yet... if we can somehow get Mosley I'll feel a little more comfortable. I do however think this team will be hard nosed and tough no matter who we have because that's Jans' style
Emmanuel Akot?Quote:

Lol, man don't say that. We all know how unpredictable sports can be. I'm sure you would have made that same bet that our baseball team wouldn't finish dead last in the SEC before the season started wouldn't you? Regardless, I have faith in Jans coaching style and I do love that he is bringing in these defensive tough nosed guys. But we still need a guy that can go get a bucket for us at any given moment, we don't have that yet but may be getting it soon.Quote:

I can’t imagine. I was on the brink of doing a do-it-yourself vasectomy after being informed #4 was happeningQuote:

Like Button. So you're saying we're that PF being mentioned away from competing for the SEC? Oh, and are those 3 you'd wager the bad apples of the bunch and have you & Mrs 662 been working on # 8?Quote:

I'm not sure you know how good the SEC has gotten. There are only a few teams I think we are better than on paper right now, South Carolina, Georgia, maybe Ole Miss and Missou.Quote:

I'm not sure who this PF is that we are after but if it's who I think, getting those two will change this team drastically. I do love the fact that Jans has gone out and got some really good on the ball defenders, if we can add one or two more true scorer we are going to be really good.
We are better than all 4 of those teams plus Vandy & LSU on paper right now. & Maybe even Florida as well.Quote:
