Ok. I'm calling my shot then on who it is. 

 

 

Washut kind of made it sound like this guy has potential, but didn't have that much success at his previous school.

Kind of fun to look through the portal and try to figure it out though.

Greg Williams, Jr.  St. John's?   Matt may have been involved with him in his prior life.

That’s what I was thinking

[imnothipp]

I was hoping it was Adam Miller. Does not sound like it though. 

 

I will guess Nimari Burnett from Texas Tech..

Xavier Johnson to Indiana 

Myreon Jones to Florida

It will be interesting to see Trey and Xavier go head to head next season.

Burnett would be my guess as well.

They're his two latest followers on twitter. You can learn a lot from watching who Robin follows, usually paints a good picture of who we are pursuing. 

[TourneyBound]

If it’s one of those guys it’s Not exactly the splash I was hoping for....

that would be real underwhelming 

[Fullbacksympathy]

I think Tyon would be an intriguing option at the 3. 6’7” with handles and crazy athleticism.  If Toney McCray could dribble, he’d be Tyon.  

 

Still think we need a true PG (though I’m not as worried about Trey and Bryce handling those duties as some), but Tyon would give us a better Shamiel who could play and guard the 2-4.  He’s an elite athlete and can get to the rim and block shots.  Don’t know much else.  

[Fullbacksympathy]

It’s like a poor man’s Roby and a rich man’s McCray had a baby.  

[thrasher31]

If it's tyon, it makes some sense. Long wing that can guard multiple spots. Certainly underwhelming yes, but I think it's solid.

Spot on. High upside, and got minutes at KU. We'd all be through the roof if he was coming here 1 year ago. Last guy we got from KU that averaged less than 3 ppg ended honorable mention All-B1G and had a cup of coffee in the NBA (I won't mention his name haha). Type of gamble you have to make when you're the Nebraska's of CBB.

No, I'm asking why him? He shot 13% from 3. 50% from the line. We can't do better? This doesn't even feel like sloppy seconds.

[imnothipp]

I agree it seems like a bit of a head scratcher. I suppose we are basing it off his 2nd year in juco (Indian Hills) where he was supposed to be the nations #1 juco reruit. He played with Tomas Woldetensae (Virginia, who we recruited) . I'm guessing that is where we first saw him.

With jucos everyone wants them to be ready immediately, but I think that most of them still need a year to get acclimated to D1. 

If he has the versatility to guard the 2, 3 or 4 slot, that would be a great start. His outside shooting does look to be a problem. He can get to the rim though.

In the video, his shot looks like he should be a lot better than a 13% 3-pt shooter. I think he was like 34% in juco ball.
