'13 SG Desmond Lee New Mexico JC

UC is involved with Desmond Lee of New Mexico JC. The 6'4", 194 lb. guard averaged 21.9 ppg, 5.1 rpg, and 2.1 apg. He is a smooth player and shot 46% from the field. Obviously, if this were to manifest there is coming movement on the UC roster. Arkansas, Baylor, Miami (FL), Illinois, Alabama, NC State and Creighton are also involved. He has visited NC State, and Baylor, and will visit Creighton I'm told. He is a very good defender. It's difficult for me to see this happening.

Bearcat_NTS will become famous soon enough
This is just a product of the staff motto of "never stop recruiting", I don't think this means in any way he is seriously considering the Cats.

Seems like Dion Dixon, maybe a little better. He has athleticism, can shoot 3's, gets steals, gets to the basket and can shoot up close in traffic.
I like him.
I take this as meaning Morman may not qualify.
He does seem like a highly sought after commodity. Of course, whether he'll be quick or slow to adjust is the question. On the upside, we'll be in a much weaker league next year.
He can finish though, that's something we don't have.

Reminds me a great deal of Dixon...

Even if Morman doesn't qualify they would need to make room somewhere else for this guy. I don't see it happening. Plus, UC has enough guards unless some of the guards transfer. They need some big men.

If John Calipari can make space somehow with his 17 man roster why cant we with 15? I would love to have this kid he is an all around ball player does everything would be a great addition and if you ask me cant have to many guards that can score inside and out and pass the ball we could have used him this year with our 1 dimensional guards. I'm pumped about the class coming in and would love to have this kid too! Like I said if Calipari can somehow make it happen so can Cronin im not ruling it out.

My saying, "I don't see this happening" wasn't due to numbers, but the fact UC got in late. I am on record saying if anyone leaves it'll be one of the bigs. Of course they will work it out if they land this young man; whether or not Morman qualifies.

People who watch him think because of his frame and fluidity of his game, the transition will go well.

How well does he shoot free throws? I'm convinced that good shooters are also good free throw shooters. If he is not a good free throw shooter I would not be involved in this.

I don't want to be Kentucky. Sorry I'm not willing to win by getting rid of players just because I MIGHT have found a better one. I want us to play with class and act like a University with class. This is why I wanted Mick and why I was not as mad as I could have been with some ummm previous coaching changes. Now if I thought this kid was the one player who take me over the hump and I knew some of the freshman would be better off redshirting this year then maybe.

So anyone know his FT%?

He shoots ft's pretty well. Over 70% I believe, will have to look exact % back up.
