Dwight Smith

Greg Sharp just said on 1620 that it is rumored that Smith(former Ralston grad) will be graduating from CSU and is looking for somewhere to transfer for his final season of eligibility.  Would NU accept him as he is not a post player.  Walk on?  Anyone know anything on this?

This guy?  Don't really see how he would help us, at all.

Yup.

Smith would be a very good addition and a nice way to use what will probably be an open scholly for us.  His avgs. don't really tell the story of the player he is.  Here are a couple of articles that give a bit of perspective.

Also, keep in mind he knows Miles' expectations and he is a Nebraska kid.  Would be a good fit even though it's not necessarily one of our positions of need.

He definitely has value.  He's able to generate contact and make it to the FT line. He would play minutes here.

Are Hawkins and Fuller going to be shooters?  Is Webster going to be a scorer?  Smith seems to be a scorer, not a shooter. Who is our scorer when Petteway and/or Shields are in foul trouble?

 

 Can he play defense?  Is he a ball handler?

 

He'd be awesome as a walkon.  As a scholarship player he would mean we either could find a high enough level freshman or a transfer for what I believe are more pressing needs like shooting or size.

He is shot 61% on free throws last year.  Not exactly the guy you want going to the line.

Look at the sample size...11/18.  None of his stats from last year are going to be that impressive...he was injured most of the year. He was a 69.2% FT shooter his last full year.

In all fairness to him, his numbers across the board (including FT%) were better under Miles than they were under Eustachy.
