Gerry mentioned on OTF that we're after AJ Storr out of Wisconsin who I'd assume is one of if not the top prio for us.

Went from starter at K State to 6th man at USF. Not sure what happened in the last year but somehow managed to drastically improve in almost all areas as a shooter which is reflected in all the advanced stats.
I feel like I've done a pretty good job of catching everyone we've contacted at the least, just put Spider on ignore since he spams all his thoughts everywhere and read 20 posts it's really not hard

Very weird shot profile, 6'10 dude who has 60% of his shots from 3 but is not a good 3 point shooter nor does he have an indicator like free throw percentage to even indicate he should be a good 3 point shooter. Interesting group of teams in on him though, obviously Colorado St is there due to daddy
Ya that's not really the point. Undersized shooting guard is a dogshit player archetype and it's also the the only position we have actual depth unless we're trying to Chris Johnson Cam Scott in which case expect him to portal out this time next year.
I know there had been some hope that we'd get back involved with Liam McNeely, sounds like we're not really in the mix

I feel like his stats would be better in a reduced role/less attention on him based on free throw % being an indicator but the shooting stats aren't wonderful

Volume shooting undersized 2 is not the archetype I would have expected us to go for whatsoever but something to keep an eye on. Implies RT is happy to go to those 3 guard lineups again.
KOC is a bum, don't bother paying attention to him generally

Feels like we've only been connected to 4's so far if you had any hope of Mitchell coming back
I knew it was bad but here's Mitchell's shooting chart. Not shocked he's portalling and wish him the best but definitely for the best we both move on from this situation. I know he'll test the draft but I wonder if he goes somewhere he can have a bigger role on offense or if he sticks to a school with real expectations.

Advanced defensive stats aren't everything and lack full context but they aren't wonderful here, especially given Belmont's level of competition
He's a total non-threat offensively despite improving. He can't pass, dribble, or shoot well enough to be a threat in any of those ways so the only way to make him productive on offense is through fast-breaks despite him potentially having the worst dunk% I've ever seen in a player. If you have a center like Disu who can stretch the floor he's able to play the dunker spot and that damage is mitigated but he just shrinks the court for everyone else. Yes he's a good defender and rebounder, I'm willing to trade some of that off for the offensive end.
