Tookie is a smart player. He will immediately have the best basketball mind on the entire team including coaching staff. He is CONSTANTLY around the basket and gets tons and tons of free points this way. He is the type of player that Ohio State or Indiana gets at the PG position. I am very excited to watch Tookie play next year. He's better than IJ right now. Which means our 2nd PG will be gigantically better than Bloodman. That alone has to be five more wins. We will regress though losing Roq as evident by how we currently cease to exist as an offense when Roq is out of the game. Zuppardo should help on offense but he's really just a slow 3 in a 4 man's body leaving the 4 gaping wide open for someone else to fill. Looks like Black is the only four we have besides Scruggs. Zuppardo is not a 4.

Its pretty clear watching Daniels that he just isn't that good. There is a reason he has been hanging around for a few years and no one else has tried hard to get him on the squad. Unfortunate that we have to bank on strange JUCO players to come in and give us a spark. I feel pretty certain that if Zuppardo played this year we would have the exact same record.

I disagree strongly with the zuppardo part. Zuppardo being able to hit 3s would have been worth a couple games. Would we be getting in the nit? Probably not, but our win loss record would be better if only by a game or 2.

You know Borchert was a 3 point assassin too. There's a reason nobody else is bending over backwards to get the JUCO guys we've been bringing in.

No one bent over backwards for moody either. OM was his only offer. Daniels and borchert not working out has nothing to do with zuppardo. Am I claiming zuppardo will be a star? No, but I do think he'll be a solid role player

Pollard wouldnt start at Miss State. He would be behind Roq

Just a lack of coaches doing their homework. Moody was Sun Belt POY as a freshman I believe. He is a NBA athlete stuck in a pee wee body. He's strong though. Just short.

AK at least had him locked up a year in advance of when he'd be on campus. Zuppardo we pick up last minute, most of our fans had never heard of him, and we try to manufacture excitement about it. I'll believe it when I see it.

him putting on a show in the national juco tournament removed any doubts about him. He will be better than Roq for us next year. Shit- if we had Borchert this year we'd be better
