That said, with all of the moves thus far having ties to Greensboro, I have to admit I'm a little underwhelmed.

Don't get me wrong, I like Wes Miller and I think he can do a great job. And I know we need to fill spots and it's inevitable that a new coach is going to bring in some people he is familiar with. But what I really didn't want to see was a TON of UNCG guys being brought over. That goes for coaches and players.

I was just hoping to see some more of national presence, and to see coach show that he can secure a higher level of staff and players now that he has a higher level job. I know he's still got some time to do that with some additional spots so hopefully he's saving the best for last.
Yah we need an impact big and an impact perimeter player. If he can get those two things...we should be looking pretty good.

Assume Hensley.

Then we need to focus our energy off of former uncg guys. We need to land one "big" name

If we get Hensley.

We are still not athletic enough to be elite on D. And we still don't have the scoring pop to expect a great offense. Two more players...the right players...can help get the job done.

We need at least 3 I believe. JJ type and combo wing I’ll like as starters. I’ll take developmental wing or JJ type of have elite athleticism

Hensley had a -10.2 BPR (-16.5 offense, 6.3 defense), but with a very small sample size. Next year I don't think we'll be counting on him for much more than some backup minutes at the 4.

While it's good to land someone who will have relatively modest expectations about their role and playing time next season (meaning that they'll likely be more invested for the long term), it makes it all the more important that the next frontcourt player we add is more-than-capable from day 1.

Anyone know just how well he shot the 3 ball in HS? From the highlights I saw it doesn't seem like he creates space very well and he's not going to get some of those shots off in the AAC. He's got some moves but doesn't have the athleticism to blow past anyone. He doesn't seem like he's going to dunk anything that doesn't require a running start.

Is he good on D?

Other than perhaps shooting (IDK) I would think Tari would have him in most categories here so I don't know how the ranking came out.
