Jamal to transfer

[MrAnderson]

So as of today next years probable starting lineup is:

Harmon
Reaves
Williams
Manek
Kuath

Is that accurate?

Probably. Maybe a grad transfer or Hill over Williams. However, I think Williams could be borderline all Big12 if he figures it out. Crazy ability, not just athleticism.

Way too harsh on Harmon.... True freshman, not going to be a phenom, but with some minor improvements in a few areas will be just fine. Very good player.

• He needs to be able to get his shot off faster
• Work on passing when he gets in the lane
• Work on not flailing into the camera row every time he drives

that's some funny chit right there...lol:ez-roll:

and true...

Williams needs to be on the team next year. Hopefully he will dedicate himself to the program.

I don't think the coaches had any idea JB was going to transfer.

I do believe we will have some good news about a player or two coming to us.

I have no doubt we're going to get good news in that we have to land a couple of bodies at this point.

The question is, what kind of talent will they have? There are a lot of guards we're in on, that I don't see much upside with. The ones that actually seem talented enough to impact the team, appear to be long shots for us to land.

CoachTalk has solid sources, and is 1 of 4-5 posters that I truly trust what he’s saying. I appreciate the fact that he is willing to share with us. He’s willing to put it out there. Sure, sometimes it might be wrong but most often it’s right. I can keep things in perspective..... we’re dealing with kids. They change their mind sometimes.

Keep it up Coach!!

Hear, hear.

Agree. Also, it’s funny that posters who never have any inside info can bash any of our posters who routinely give us insight on stuff before it is publicly known or reported. One poster in particular doesn’t have any inside info other than probably the brand of cologne Kelvin wears, yet he is the first to mock Coach at every opportunity.

In addition to the coaches not knowing, the players didn't either. So this was surprising all around. Coachtalk has proven his worth with the sources over time. I've got someone that's family with a player, and trust me they were blindsided, as someone put it.

Well, have to assume at this point they'll be Reynolds/Calixte types. Barely Big12 type talent.
But will no doubt be touted as "great gets" by the usual suspects.

And be critiqued with plenty of negatives by the usual suspects.

I love Jamal. I like his energy and his attitude and appreciate the things he brings to the court.

But he's averaging 30 minutes per game through two years and not producing on the court at a starter level. 5 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists in 30 minutes -- not starter numbers. So he has to make a decision to come off the bench or go somewhere else and try to improve his offense.

Sad to see him go, but the decision makes sense for him.

Harmon averaged 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 28 minutes. Should he start shopping around for a new school, too?

I know that Harmon was a freshman and JB a sophomore, but if I had to choose one to stick around at this point, I think I'd choose Jamal (I dearly hope I have to eat crow on that statement). I felt his overall game was better than Harmon's (so far).

As for those assuming any incoming transfers will be underwhelming, do you honestly think ouleopard would have posted what he did about such a transfer?

Good point, Sky! Not that everyone will be happy when the name(s) are finally revealed. Some things never change!

I’m guessing the north Texas guard is one of the transfers.

I think so too. Umoja Gibson. 6'1 PG. Averaged 10 ppg both his freshman and sophomore years. He averaged 14.5 last year.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense with Harmon at PG and Gibson reportedly leaving because he wants to be the featured PG, but I won't complain about it. He has what JB didn't - the ability to put the ball in the basket.

 

[tmeyer3307]

North Texas kid would be a good add I think.. The main difference between Harmon and JB is that Harmon is more of a dawg! They both play great defense, but Harmon gets after it a little more/stronger just a better athlete I'd say. Also think guys will follow Harmon more!

You ignored my next sentence: "So Bienemy has to make a decision to come off the bench or go somewhere else and try to improve his offense."

He made a decision to go somewhere else than come off the bench. It's that easy.

I didn't miss it, but I've seen nothing so far from Harmon that makes me think he should start over JB. You've got Jamal on the bench (if he were to stay); I don't--not based on what I've seen so far.

Jamal can’t shoot, Sky. Harmon had a mediocre fr season but I’m confident he will be a really good pg next year.
