I was just about to post this... good pickup, a shooter/scorer. This one came out of nowhere, nice pickup for Jans! This guy averaged 20 ppg last season at Marshall! I love this pick up!

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.

Just sayin' I'm not an easy lay with dinner and a margarita.

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.

Yeah. I'm sure it was his dream to play for Marshall.

And just for those who didn't pick up on it the first time. Not up or down on him at this point. Just neutral. We already have seen several come down a similar path and it did not translate at this level.

You are so right, with the Sun Belt's different court, lane, and 3 point line****

If the non -power5 teams from minor conferences played the same rules as the big boys, then someone from the WAC or CUSA might do better in the postseason***

I like this pick up and I think his play will benefit us, I'm predicting he will average around 10/12 ppg 3/4 apg. That being said EdwardDrayton does have a point, what a player does in the Sun Belt type conference doesn't always translate over well to a Power 5. Look at Isiaih Mosley, a kid we were after. All of his numbers were down across the board at Missouri to include his minutes. He went from averaging 20 ppg at Missouri state to 9 ppg at Missouri..

Andrew Taylor played 36.5 minutes a game which is literally almost the whole game, there were several games he did actually play all 40 minutes. He won't be asked to do that with us, I would say Jans plays him 28 to 30 mpg so his numbers won't be what they were at Marshal. But as long as he is productive, hits his open shots, free throws and plays defense he will have success

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

[StarkVegasSteve]

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 stands

[ZedFedder]

If you can?t see how this is an absolute huge pickup, then you need help. Nobody is saying he will replicate those numbers, but this guy was coveted. We talk about Jans v. Beard in recruiting? OM wanted this guy bad. Let?s go!!!
