He would make a nice addition as a bench player or potential starter with what we are losing next year playing the wing and or point. He's a lot like Jaevin just with a much different skill set. My only thing is he's already one of the best players in the Horizon and I am sure he wants to step up in competition. As we have seen with Jaevin it doesn't always work out like that. I personally wouldn't mind having him, his stats wont wow you especially his 18% from 3 this year but then use the other scholarship(s) on a big guy or big guys.

FYI, he was NKU de facto point guar at 6'6 and was the MVP of the Horizon tourney . He could help bridge the gap with Adams Woods and Saunders next year as well as play some 2 and 3.
I would take him in a heartbeat. He would fill a lot of needs for next season. His 3-point shooting has taken a huge dip this season (from 41% to 18%) but he has won 70+ games as a full-time starter and his familiarity/relationship with Brannen could prove invaluable.
