Shooter!!!!
Saw where Bruce Pearl had contacted this guy also. So he is obviously solid

Yeah well maybe pump the brakes a little. We had not pulled anyone late in the game so easy to get excited about SOMETHING happening. We'll see how Sun Belt translates to SEC. Firmly in the wait and see.
So people shouldn’t get excited about 1 of the top guards in the portal? Cool. We don’t need him to avg 20 here we need a consistent 13-15. It’s a big time pickup.Quote:

I've been critical of Jans recruiting but this was a huge pickup. He had offers from some good schools but chose us. He can do a little bit of everything.. I Honestly think he can be a true game changer for us
Kentucky was trying to get him to visit…gonna go out on a limb and say this guy is pretty good.
I typically agree with you on most things but I think this was a big pickup. He averaged 20 ppg, he won't do that in the SEC but all he needs to give us is 12 ppg and 3/4 apg.. he can do that. I love this pickup and actually think he can get more fans in the standsQuote:

Yeah we State fans love the pretext of what might be.Quote:

Shoots, distributes and creates turnovers. Excellent pickup
If so that could be huge too. He shot 45% from the 3 point line last year and 44% the year before.Quote:

Great pickup. Personally, I'm thrilled with the get, but I guess it's a fair point from Edward. For example, Stevenson...
2019: 12.8 ppg
2020: 14.1 ppg
2021: 14.6 ppg
2022: 3.9 ppg
It is a big jump in competition from CUSA to SEC
We need a guy that can make an open shot. We watched it all season
This is that guy
I agree. Tolu will be a handful if teams have to respect us from the perimeterQuote:

Life is short, so what do you have to gain from preventing yourself from having optimistic hope and enjoying the exciting things of each and every day?
Basketball scoring transfers from every level. If they have the size and skill they can play against anyone anywhere and be successful. You see it every year in the NCAA tournament and the NBA.Quote:

Just need him to make teams pay for packing their D inside around toluQuote:
