Tiger 8,908 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Is he a 1 or a 2? Seems like he'd be a really good get. He could put up some good numbers in Pearl's up tempo offense and getting lots of touches.

Man if we are able to get Mason the back court will have 2 very good scoring options.

InfernoOrangeSS 323 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 He would be an enormous catch for us. You have to love all the interest that Coach Pearl generates. Imagine when he gets to actually recruit!!

TigerFan2014 0 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 TSD, Harrell, Mason, Bowers, and Atewe as our starting 5 wouldn't be too shabby. If he comes, our only glaring weakness would be at the C spot. Hope he comes.

If he comes, our only glaring weakness would be at the C spot. Hope he comes. We will have some depth at Center with Delp and Griciunas and they can give us some different looks Delp has shot blocking skills and enough size to rebound and Griciunas can stretch other teams defense as he can shoot outside pulling other teams Center away from the paint allowing Bowers to post up and also rebound without having to worry about center double teaming him.

JFDTiger80 813 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I like the idea of being competitive. Hopefully, once Coach Pearl is able to get his recruits here, the Basketball program will run smoothly with good kids/players coming in and having a great time and having success at AU and vefry little processing will have to take place.

Saw Delph last year, and he looked really thin and needed some major weight put on. Don't think he is SEC ready for a year or so more. Griciunas is more of a PF than a C and lacks the quickeness. We have 2 or 3 guys that can play C, so we have a little depth; however, I don't see any of them, maybe Atewe, as a quality SEC C right now.

1TexasTiger 55 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Probably Canada. Seems to be a lot of interest in bringing in a guard from the coaches.

Mikey 16,781 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Every scholarship transfer brought in equals one less player that can be on the floor next season. This can get to be too much of a good thing in a hurry!

If everybody qualifies then either 2 and Thompson goes back to walk on status or 3.
