Random thoughts no one asked for...
PG Devon Barnes (Tarleton State) - 2 YOE
The more I dig into this kid, box scores from last year, the accessible youtube, Twitter highlights, etc, I don't see an SEC level starter. On the surface, he has a really good 3P%, FT %, ppg, etc....but he doesn't do much outside of that, he's small, and I truly think he'd be better served as a backup at the power 5 level or a starter at the mid major level. His best bet is to find a better mid major (Tarleton was pretty good though) or a mid major closer to GA (his home state). Say High Point, that would suit him well. If OU's thinking about bringing him in as a backup PG, fine, whatever. I'd pass if the thought is as a starter.
CG Brycen Goodine (Fairfield) - 1 YOE
The first thing that jumps out to me is his 3P% (47%). Black Rob said it best:
WHOA. When I watch his youtube, I see several things....
1. He can play at the power 5 level. I have no doubts about that (he started his career at Syracuse).
2. He has the "dog" that is the first thing I want to identify. In other words, you can see he loves to hoop and he's going to compete night in, night out. Even in a highlight video, it oozes out, IMO. Hypothetically, I'd have no interest in trying to get college kids motivated. It's now a business and you're expected to compete. Find the types who have it built in.
3. He has versatility, or he's a combo guard, which would be what you want...even if you land Pedulla.
Goodine had games where he put up 37 & 40. Not bad.
Could OU do better than Goodine? Maybe but they could do a whole lot worse as well, for sure.
He just visited New Mexico. I'd be cool with OU bringing him in for a visit. If they want to, they better make it happen soon (strong Lobo lean).
SF Zach Anderson (Florida Gulf Coast) - 1 YOE
Another kid with a great 3P% (46%). However, I don't see a high level athlete. He looks more like an undersized stretch 4. If he was brought into OU as the 6th man, I would have zero complaints. He can play at the SEC level IMO but I see it as more of a bench contributor. I don't know if you could really pull off a Jalon Moore + Anderson starting lineup (depends on the team you're playing, I guess).
SF Micah Parrish (San Diego State) - 1 YOE
A mature/experienced kid with easily recognizable talent, from a winning program, who's going to play pro ball (gleague/overseas)? That works, right? Sadly, I think those same ingredients will likely price OU out of the market for Parrish. Maybe I'm wrong but a lot of top tier programs will want a kid like this on their team. Strong defender, smart, not perfect but a winning type player, for sure. We'll see, maybe OU can sneak in after he goes through the draft process.
SF Aaron Scott (North Texas) - 1 YOE
As mentioned, Aaron is the brother of OU WBB basketball player, Liz Scott. Aaron visited Memphis this past weekend and has a St. John's visit planned. Why not go after him? Would a duo of Jalon Moore and Scott work? Maybe, maybe not...but Scott is a high level defender. He's also capable shooter. He's a good player. I hope, for his sake, he stays away from Memphis, lol.
