Shooting was about as big a need as anything, so starting it off with Pryce is a good sign. 

 

I've mentioned before, but he has the tell tale signs to take a leap next year. Not really an expectation for him to be "a guy" but with his size+quick release, I do think he'll take a leap. Efficient from everywhere on the floor, except ft line which is weird. Has some off the dribble juice to his game too. 

 

Get a PG now, land Lawrence and fill in around with where the portal is then

Honest questions

 

Dix the only player on that Iowa team I would of been "ok" with getting.  Although the truth is I didn't want anybody from that team.  So why is picking up Gavin Griffiths 2.0 such a good get?  Not only that he is from freaking IOWA people.  I am not okay with this pick up for that reason alone.  His brother single handedly started our 6 game skid.

 

The other question is who are we going to get to replace Brice Williams?  You know the most important replacment.  These role players at Pryce Sandfort level are a dime a dozen IMO

Sandfort is a lot better than Griffiths

 

Yes...he can't be our top get....but he's alot better than Griffiths.   Griffiths is a role player who is terrible at everything.  Sandfort can at least make a shot.

We need to add a lot of players. 

Sandfort is way better than Gavin Griffiths. 

Sandfort is a better shooter than anyone on our team. 

His family is from Nebraska and he grew up a Husker football fan. I also don't really care where he's from. If he wants to be a Husker at any point, good enough for me. 

His career trajectory - with two years to go - is exactly the same as his brother who broke out as a junior and averaged 16.4 and 16.7 as a senior. 

Signing Sandfort doesn't mean we aren't going after a Brice Williams replacement. It means we got 1 spot filled. It doesn't mean we went all in with our spending money on Sandfort.

I wanted Dix as well.  It didn't happen, so you move on.

Sandfort is a good player.  If he continues to develop he may even be a great player.  He was a 4* for a reason.  He can defend, rebound and is a pretty decent athlete.

Brice is not going to be replaced easily.  It is likely both Gary and Williams points, leadership, defense and rebounds will have to be absorbed by a group rather than one player.

I will add, there were times this year that patrons on this site, were not happy with Brice.  He turned it on going down the stretch and is adored, rightly so.

But here's the deal, we did not make the Big Ten tournament or NCAA Tournament with Juwan and Brice.  So the task is not to rebuild the "team" with one individual player.  We've started the process, let's see how it proceeds.

You lost me at Gavin Griffiths 2.0. Just compare GG at Rutgers to Pryce at Iowa. Gavin had more TO's in his one year at Rutgers than Pryce has had in his entire career at Iowa. Pryce has made 73 threes... Gavin just 38. Gavin is 28ish percent from behind the arc, Pryce is upper 30's. There is 0 comparison. 

 

And I'm one that hopes GG sticks around and works on his game. Think he could be a piece down the road if he wants to be.
