Both McGowen and Nolley shot <40% FG and 3pt FG near 30%. Not stellar. I know system and what you’re asked to do can make a big difference, and Hoiberg can teach shooting, but he’d have some work to do with either.

Another potential transfer to keep an eye on: Va Tech Landers Nolley II, sit one to play three.

 

 

One of the top transfers available. Sorry to say, but I don't see us in the running for him.

Hoiberg can teach getting a better shot. I'm not sure that we can definitely say he can teach guys to make shots at a higher rate.  If Walker comes out shooting 60% from the line (check his previous numbers at your own risk), then I'll become a believer.

Just find out whoever "taught" Brian Conklin how to shoot again after his junior season.

The whole team went through a shooting slump in 2002-03.

Yeah, you can teach getting a better shot, that is part of what I meant when I said scheme and what you’re asked to do can help. Are you asked to be the team’s main scoring threat and put yourself in a position where you end up taking difficult shots, or be a complimentary piece. 
 

You can also teach better footwork/balance, hand placement and mechanics on the shots you do take. Which should lead to improvements unless players are at their ceilings. Most college players aren’t at their ceilings.

I wonder if the Coronavirus situation will slow roster attrition and player movement this offseason. Being that coaches arent able to fly around the country as much (i think). Could create a little more reluctance in players leaving their current situation for a new one where they arent able to meet with the new staff and teammates and see the new campus and facilities.

 

Just a thought.

With that number, I wonder if its a program issue.

 

I will be interested to see what the final statistics are when its all said and done. And whether or not the increase in transfers continued this year or not.

Shoot, I'd take Derrick Walker hittin' 50% on FTs.

He's

- a human male

- D-1 basketball transfer

 

Odds are highly likely


At this point, every time Rothstein tweets about which schools are contacting a transfer I just look to see who Nebraska is competing with.  Ha!
