There was an interview with a player (Mason if I recall correctly) not too long ago I saw on youtube where he said that Saunders has really been working on and improving from three. |

I also agree about Mikey. He was already improving from his junior to senior year in HS and then he worked hard last year on it as well. DD won't do as bad as he did last year ever again. They will be better but probably not great. Both should be serviceable shooters for PG's. |

Outside of a 13-game OOC stretch during his 2nd year at Michigan where the whole team was playing out of their minds and DD shot 44% from deep, he's been a 21% 3-point shooter for the rest of his career. I'd be elated if DD and Saunders shot a combined 30% from 3 next season. |

They both offer some options. Mikey speed and hopefully will be a better shooter. DD can rebound well and has a decent floater and perhaps a little better with assists right now. Could be close to a 20-20 split if Mikey is a better shooter. |

Really hoping for one of the following 2 players (or both) to step up and have a great season.
Madsen/McGinnis It would be great if we can get some volume shooting but I am hoping for a bit more play making as well from the 2 spot. With a lack of play makers we are going to need one of these guys to show some of that. I think MAW is what he is and he is solid but hasn't been what I would call a play maker. I think Hensley is probably buried on the depth chart at the 4 and the 3 so I would expect him to be a year out from impactful play making. I don't see a huge gap at the 2 spot between MAW/Madsen/McGinnis. Mason has obviously been working out and is pretty jacked up at this point and his vertical is off the charts. He was a PG in HS so he should have decent enough handles to make plays from the 2. His deep ball is not a question mark. If he can step up the D game...he's got very good potential. After watching some more video on McGinnis. His shot form and set up looks pretty good from deep. His body control and athleticism won't hold him back from finishing drives. A little light on ball skills but not terrible. Not super quick but silky smooth. Seems to have a little more of the "play maker" style to his game. Pretty good instincts and timing. |

Does anyone known when the "preferred walk-ons " are allowed to be with the rest of the team? I assume they are not allowed to participate in the early drills, weightlifting, and overall team prep. At what point are walk-ons shown as part of a teams roster ?

Question for some of the recruiting experts: Do you think we'll sign someone for the 2022 class here in the next month or so?
I don't have a 247 account and I don't follow this stuff all that close. All I can see is who we've offered and whether they're "warm" or "cool" or whatever. It's hard for me to tell who we might actually be close on. I hope we get someone decent here. I'm jonesing for some news. It looks like a lot of dominos are starting to fall and seeing Egss land a top 50 kid yesterday, after landing a top 100 kid a few weeks ago, has me starved for a decent commitment. Anyone got an idea on who I can keep my eye out on?

Chase already has film working out with players! I think he might push for heavy minutes this year at PG! He’s without a doubt probably your best scoring option out of all the guards

The one guy that we are in on that seems to have some legit mutual interest would be Sage Tolentino. Don't know if a decision is expected since he de-committed recently. Rumor is he wants to stay closer to Cincinnati but there are a lot of great schools in the region. I would put this one at 50-50 right now as a best guess. That's not bad in the recruiting world. I know Leon Bond was a high interest of ours but Wes is getting in late on building some of these new relationships and there is other major interest. I would put this at 25-33% as a best guess. Outside of that a lot of offers out there but not hearing a lot of heat on anyone. I don't think I would put a % higher than 25% on any/many of them at the moment. |
