Quality addition imo.
We are going to struggle with bigger teams again but we should at least have a lineup that can shoot from outside this year. This will neutralize our size disadvantage. Last year we didn’t have any quality outside shooters aside from Grant, Milos, and Jacob.
Jacob was a quality outside shooter?

He shot 38.1% from behind the arc last season. That certainly qualifies.
Jacob was undoubtedly a good shooter, which was valuable, but unfortunately he didn't provide much else. When he shot 5 or more threes, OU only lost one game, and that was a 70-69 game against UT. It's a small sample size and I'm not necessarily saying that he should have shot more. Just noting that if you're strictly a shooter, you're going to need to be shooting a high volume to justify your spot on the court.

Jacob's percentage doesn't really tell the whole story. Against bad competition he shot it pretty well but he was putrid in league play. I like him though. He seems like a good kid and I hope he does well at UVA.

If he can come in the game and knock down some 3s to help win games, that would be great.
Moser has to figure out how to get these guys minutes to where he doesn’t lose them early. That’s what has happened the last two years. Then he calls on the, midway to the end of the season and they don’t perform due to inexperience.
Can't keep 13 guys happy. Heck, it's hard to keep 10 guys happy.
It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out, but at the end of the day, there are going to be a couple of guys that don't get the PT that many on here think they will. Just not enough minutes.

What did I read where Norweather was the best shooter on the team this year?
