Big loss. It is what it is. Next man in! Wes is knocking on all the doors out there. I kind of feel like we need to stop at 11 now so he can focus on The following year or some late developments. No more than 12

We can still do that if some of the transfers are seniors.

John Newman III is now a bearcat. I guess he was transferring to UNCG from Clemson and followed Miller here.
6'5 wing. Looks like a slasher. Played a lot as a sophomore but struggle as a JR and didn't play nearly as much. |

We're bringing in John Newman from Clemson. 6'5" junior wing. He's a body I guess. Doesn't really do anything well.
Edit: I take this back. He had a down year due to injury. Last edited by sedziobs; 04-20-2021 at 10:43 PM. |

We definitely need bodies, so this doesn't hurt. Hopefully he is playing 15 minutes a game off the bench, like he did for a solid Clemson team, rather than 31 mpg, like he did for a bad Clemson team.

Managed to have a 107.1 ORTG as a sophomore in conference play as a sophmore in the ACC. No idea what happened to him last season. Long athletic wing. Step down in competition should help. Looks like an ok passer and is likely a pretty good defender.

Newman has a 42.7 defensive rating on Evan Miya's site, which is elite (for reference Dejon Jarreau is 45.2)

he is quick and explosive. had good games vs unc, duke, and louisville in 2020. write off last year as a weird covid year. i think if he transferred here after his sophomore year we'd have been pretty excited. |

Solid get. We have up to 8 spots to fill so this guy can definitely have one of them.

Yeah, if he is actually an elite defender and can return to 2019-20 offensive form, I'll be excited. The 42 true shooting percentage and high turnover rate is what I saw at first glance. Hopefully he can move past that.
