Since Reynolds is a combo guard who can play the point, we still need Aaron Calixte to commit next weekend. That gives us 2 PG types.

Would we now take Kris Martin if he is ruled immediately eligible?

We need talent. If martin could be a starter sort of talent and he's immediately eligible, sign him

 

[mardaddy51]

I think they need to try & find a mauler on the boards after Reynolds & Calixte.

 

[hoopsaustin]

Beat out Nevada and Ohio state for reynolds. I like the sounds of that. We will see how talented he is. But seems like a good get considering we're desperate

If OU also gets Calixte they can probably take a chance on Martin even if he's not immediately eligible.

Agreed. Been saying the same thing since last year.

That said, I wouldn’t mind if our coaches used the third ship on Kris Martin if he receives a waiver from the NCAA. You can’t have too many guards/wings who can score and shoot from the perimeter. Our returning players can do both, but they are too inconsistent to suit me.

Reynolds is a good addition!

Great news! Hopefully the roster will be filled out with a team that will be fun to watch.

Good pickup.

So, he left St. Louis because he didn’t want to play for Travis ford? Seems like a smart kid.

Yes I immediately liked him after that.

 

[opsooner]

He said in one of his HS interviews that his coach would rarely call a timeout even when they were behind. That might have been a feather in our cap.

Nice! Go get Calixte now!

I'm for bringing in all 3, and would be very excited for next year. A big would be nice, but only if he's better than Martin, and not just for the fit.

Ha same

Putting TY’s impact aside for the moment, I think Reynolds and Calixte will be an upgrade to the two we lost to transfers. If Martin gets his waiver allowing him to play next season, our backcourt as a whole will be vastly improved. All three of these players can score, plus they have very respectable averages from behind the arc.
