TIGERINATLANTA 47 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Not somebody I expect us to go after.. Daquan Cook recently dismissed UNLV reserve PG and will be a graduate transfer for someone. He is a pure PG not a scorer, but probably not worth the risk with off/on court issues.

AU_Tiger_88 417 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Don't we have a freshman coming in that is supposed to be pretty good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Don't we have a freshman coming in that is supposed to be pretty good? That's what we hear....and if we happen to get a grad PG who takes the starting role, what happens to the development of the freshman? A year later we are back to squawking about lack of experience. And of course with much discussed tendency of BB players to transfer at the first thought that they are not getting enough playing time, who knows which promising freshman takes a hike before he plays ?.

Who said we were getting a grad PG? I don't see where CBP is recruiting one. We sorely lack in depth and it will take a couple of years to get that depth. When we get depth we will be playing faster than we are now or so I believe. CBP came into a real lack of players on the team. He had a decent recruiting year but it will take some more quality guys. Plus the injury bug has hit this team and it isn't pretty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we have a FR PG coming in. If he can play and this year's injured starter doesn't return that will make one real PG. I hope not to go down this year's road again.

auburnphan 6,050 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Williams will/is growing into a PG, injuries slowed the process.If we grab any grad transfers, it will be in the front court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Very rarely do you see a True frosh PG come in and start day one. New Williams just hasn't been the same since his knee surgery which has slowed th development. Bruce even said if he'd not gotten hurt before he got to AU he'd be playing at UCLA or USC. I think we'll take a grad guy for a mentor year for Williams and Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll take a grad guy for a mentor year for Williams and Harper. Maybe a mentor...but most of the grad-trans are looking for one last shot to show their "stuff" for the NBA and ...JMO, but not likely to be mentoring a freshman player. My view....we have a rising Soph in Williams and incoming frosh.....so work them into the system and hope to have something solid there for a three more years at least. If we are looking for a grad-trans it might be wise to get a better handle on the likelihood of Reed playing next season...and perhaps trying to find a big man somewhere....even if he's nothing but a "presence" inside on defense.

Timeslider 6 269 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm not too familiar with CBP's system, does it put more emphasis on the back court play or the front court play? meaning do we need more guards than forwards and centers or is it about equal in needs?

gravejd 3,269 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We also have Klein (sp?) and that Allison kid who could give us some minutes at PG if needed. Both are walk-ons so of course not the ideal situation. I'm just going to go ahead and assume that Taj won't play any more meaningful minutes with the team. Even if he does try and come back next year your just waiting for that shoulder to pop out again. So if New Williams isn't able to handle some solid minutes then I agree you gotta go JUCO or grad transfer route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,817 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 it's not ideal to start a freshman PG imo. It won't stunt his development though. It will bring him along at a reasonable pace imo. We need to get another serviceable PG into the program though somehow. Nothing against Keim, as he plays hard, but we need 2 scholarship PGs on the roster. I'm going on the assumption that TSD will not be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,062 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Who's available? It's hard to really know til a team goes after some. I expect AU to take a GT PG but have not seen any names yet they are interested in. Also most of the GT pool will not be known until team's seasons are over.

ellitor 33,062 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Don't we have a freshman coming in that is supposed to be pretty good? Yes but he (Jared Harper) at the moment will likely be the only PG on roster. He can't do that position alone & will need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
