There was a dude I went to VU with that went to New Mexico. Deshawn Delaney. Was a 2x JUCO AA. Averaged 5.3ppg his first year and 11.7 his 2nd year at New Mexico. Shot 35% from 3. Super athlete.

A guy I went to VU with ended up at UNLV. Shawn Marion. Coach Knight came to see him and after the game he told RMK that he didn’t need to hear his speech because he wasn’t offering anything.

There has been a lot of great JC players and two helped us win our last championship. I am not questioning him being from JC but the other teams that are recruiting him makes me wonder about him. If coach has confidence he would be good here that is good enough for me.

There are some good JUCO players out there.

I think the JUCO, D2, and low mid-major is a route for some of these high school players that would have been recruited to a higher level if the transfer portal didn't exist. Freshman classes for high majors have gotten super small, which has forced high school players into different avenues to get there later.

Lamar Wilkerson -- a guy we really want -- was at a JUCO for two years (missed one season due to injury).

Probably doesn't because he only believes that we can beat out low and mid majors.

Now don't go running to HSN to talk about me, Scotty.

I remember when he hit the transfer portal after that  came to light but then withdrew his name when the moderators upped his NIL offer.

Risley said four or five new players by the end of the week.

Betcha Comer is one of them and I’m completely cool with that. I think his mindset fits what CDD is looking for really well.

 

Sometimes you like fits and I can’t wrap my head around it. Local kid. That’s good, i guess. He’s an undersized guard. Albeit, athletic. But just terrible shooting splits for 3 seasons against low level competition. Decent overall stats this season at Evansville until you look at the advanced stats. I don’t see it translating at all. So if this is our move that would mean Enright is our starter and Comer is our backup PG. That’s about as weak at the PG position as you’ll find in the big ten.

I’ll say I’m not a huge fan of Comer

I will trust the coach but it makes me question if he is a high major player.

I will trust the coach......... BUT

Knight would have been justified in choking him...

Marion was getting paid well at VU(which sounds wild for a JUCO kid). The AD at the time was a teacher of a class I took and told us about it.

VU gets a lot of D1 athletes that need to up their academics.

Visiting this weekend with reed Bailey 

[Home Jersey 15,612]

Do we know the order of Wilkerson’s visits?

Edit: already answered. Let’s hope we convince him to shut it down.

[HoosierFan1994 5,301]

Wilkerson visiting this weekend. DO NOT let him leave without a commitment!

I am higher on Enright than you are, but yeah that wouldn't be in love with that as a 1-2 combination at point guard.  The one thing I do like about Comer is he does get to the line -- at least last year.  5.6 free throws from your point guard is a ton.

It's also an abilty that Reed Bailey has -- he got to the line almost 7 times/game at Davidson.
