Italian East Coast basketball player decides to go to Nova? No waaaaay

Well, I think it has more to do with the fact that the pitch is coming from a defending national champion coach with an exciting, guard-oriented offense, but that didn't help either.

Gonna slide right into DiVincenzo's spot. 

 

So, both?

That's a really big blow... none of the other grad transfer names mentioned even fit our needs.  Even if Roach comes back, we're going to have a really hard time getting the floor spaced unless some of our shooters really improve dramatically next year.

Once it came out that he was visiting Nova and Kansas, I didn't expect us to land him. Certainly would've been nice but pretty unlikely.

Timme will be a huge fan favorite if he commits to Texas. Has a real old school/70s vibe. Dude looks like someone from the movie Semi-Pro with actual basketball talent.

Nice, Rising recruiting for the BBall team too.  Good on him.

Now what the fuck is Shaka doing for next season?  Is our plan to hope that Roach decides to come back and develops a consistent jumper?  Losing Cremo sucks, but we need to be looking high and low for someone who can at least provide outside shooting prowess.

Are you under the impression the staff isn’t doing that? Are there dozens of these guys looking to move?

I don't know how many grad transfers there are, but there are supposed to be over 200 transfers available from various programs.  We haven't heard about any transfers visiting since Cremo... so, I have no idea what the fuck the staff is doing.

Likely means Roach is returning. No scholarship room if Roach is returning and Jones is still on scholarship. 

I brought this up today. The staff has pretty much gone silent in terms of grad transfers. Probably a pretty good sign they think Roach is leaning towards coming back. 

Once Roach didn't get a combine invite that's when Texas went dead silent on the transfer market. Total guess, but I'm betting those two things are related.

Also, Texas isn't going to find a grad transfer that can light it up. Cremo was about the only option. 

Here's the available grad transfers that were volume shooters (over 100 3s in a season) that shot better than Roach last year (.361% from 3). Cohee .385% from 3 and Stull .379% from 3. That's it. Both of those guys are small school guys with deficiencies in other areas. It's not like they are substantially better shooters than Roach either. 

Cremo was the best option from a shooting perspective. After that the next best option was really Roach and Ramey (.392% from 3 his SR in HS).  Something people don't realize is Roach was actually a pretty good shooter once he returned from his broken wrist. Shot 41% from 3 in the final 17 games of the season. Can that be sustainable over a full season? No clue, but 41% 3 point shooter would have been top 50 in the nation last year.

He's not listed on the current U18 roster.  Hepa is, and yet Hepa is not a 5 star and Baker is.  Somebody clue me in.

What Smart coached big was a lottery pick in 2016?

any shot of the Longhorn greats without TJ Ford in the front center is misaligned.

I think that's just a normal picture of the Durant-era team, and he's MUCH more relevant for younger folks.
