We have had a few...

Cary Cochran

Chris Cresswell

Eric Piatkowski

Tom Wald

Troy Piatkowski

Brian Conklin

Andrew Drevo

Paul Velander

Matt Karn

 

Well, some of them missed a lot more shots than we would like...And at least one of the Pike's was pretty athletic.

So, it's been a decade since we've had one, then?

They have not even been here a year. Not sure what some of you expect, top 50 guys just do not show up magically on your campus. Give them some time please, your going to give yourself a stroke.

I only see kenpom national rank yellow

Alright, well...

 

Also, that means we still only had two guys that could shoot like that over the past decade. And one of them was only hear for a year.

I'd add Ray Gallegos!!

As much as I like Ray, he never really got to the level of those 3. All of them had at least one season shooting better than .400 from 3. Ray never got above .350. His freshman year he was .349, but only had 43 attempts.

For some reason, I really like the French kid. He's aggressive and plays with some attitude.  That really matters, especially for your big men inside.  And, while he could use some polish, he's not devoid of skill either.  He showed some really nice things in that highlight video I posted.

 

He's very young and is probably still growing.  He could wind up 6'8" and his frame suggests he could hold some weight.  He might or might not need a redshirt year.  Be interesting to see if he can develop a jumper.  We've offered, so the coaching staff must have seen enough to believe he can help us out long term.

His game, size, style of play is what I would have expected Leslee Smith to have looked like with good knees.

Rey Gallegos was a total player, in all phases of the game. I'd have taken a Rey Gallegos last season, no question.

 

 

Im not saying he wasn't a good player. Its just funny that his name comes up in discussions about some of the best recent shooters we have had. When in reality he wasnt a great or even good 3 point shooter for most of his career.

Got to spend about an hour talking to Gallegos and pitchford after the nw game at Buffalo Wild Wings that tourney year.  He was in a miserable slump.  Gave him a nice pep talk and told him to keep shooting.  Went out and had a huge game at Indiana the next game.  A game that we desperately needed.  I guess what I am trying to say is that I deserve a lot of the credit for us dancing that year:) Very nice low key guy. Odd pairing with pitchford for sure.

Mack, Johnson and Ivan Drago visiting this weekend. I'd take all three.

 

If we got all three, you'd have to start thinking we'd have a chance to field a pretty complete roster for next year and not necessarily feel like it's the inevitable throw-away, transition year.

 

With Mack, we'd have a hell of a backcourt.  Johnson and another front court player, and we'd at least have some pieces to work with.

to be honest, i'm pretty much at the point where next year doesn't at all feel like a throwaway year

 

that's not saying we don't need some of those guys to be really good...

If we can get Mack and Johnson I think we are an NIT team if not better

At least somebody was keeping an eye out for Pitch.

 

 

Good work, Rey. ?
