So we got a big man to complement Coleman down low. That was one of our big needs to address and now we just need to find a replacement for Q. I'm hopefull that Obaseki can help fill that void and maybe Pratt will help too.


Radford replaces Q. So you need somebody to replace what Radford was this year and it doesn't have to come from one person.

In other words, we may not have a replacement for Q, but we'll get his production from multiple players. You are probably right, but I'm hopeful that Obaseki develops his offensive game like Q did.

I'm saying Radford replaces Q's production.

Radford will probably contribute in various ways like he did this year, but I don't see him being the primary offensive weapon like Q became.

Well I'm pretty sure you will be wrong.

Radford was great down the stretch. As good as Q played down the stretch, Radford only averaged like 3.9 less pts per game in March. And Radford shot 46% from three. I expect him to improve even more than he did down the stretch. Radford is the man next year and I think he is more than capable of leading us to the tournament

I like Radford a lot, but he's a 6'2" guard who has his limitations. Q was a 6'5" athletic guard who developed his overall game and realized his potential when we put the ball in his hands. Sorry, but I don't see Radford being able to do what Q did.

Players aren't static. Taylor and Obaseki will improve and we'll get more from the post than we did last year between Coleman and the new arrival. It's going to be a different type of offensive approach. And you know we will defend.

So are we done in the portal unless someone else transfers?

I think Radford might be better next year than Q was this year.

So 3 years ago you saw what Q would become at the end of this season?

Looking thru the transfers I found a kid who really made a mistake. I've seen a few who transferred and it didn't work out, but this one is glaring.

Mylik Wilson is from a small 2A school in Louisiana and was the player of the year in the state. He started 50 games for Louisiana his first two years and averaged 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Transferred to TTech and averaged 2.5 ppg and is back in the portal.

The grass isn't always greener.

I hope you're correct on Radford becoming as good a player as Q became and can become the leader of our offense next year. They were both very good at the end of last year. I personally think the success of next year's team depends largely on the development and improvement of Taylor and Obaseki at the guard position. I also think the additions of Marble and Garcia will help our team significantly with more veratilty at the other positions. .

How much Taylor and Manny improve is going to be the difference on if we're fighting to stay above the bubble or if we fairly easily cruise to a decent seed I think.

I think we will overall be better if we continue to play like we did at the end of the year.

Post - Marble, Coleman, Javonte Brown, Ashton Smith 2022 vs Coleman, Henderson, Cash, Brown 2021. Marble is a big upgrade at C. If Ashton Smith can simply match what Brown did last year - Huge upgrade for 2022.

Guards - Lose Q, Marcus Williams, Diarra, gain Anderson Garcia, Jordan Williams, Solomon Washington, Eric Pratt, every other player a year of experience. Slight upgrade IMHO.

Washington is a forward.

Manny Bates 6'11 230. Missed the whole season with shoulder issue. Fayetteville boy, so Arkansas might be a player here

Interesting. I thought if we added a guard it would be more of a scoring/shooting guard, but he would definitely help us. A lot of experience and was the AAC defensive player of the year. I wonder if he still have a committable offer after landing Garcia.

Quote:

Three weeks after putting his name into the NCAA transfer portal, Oregon State guard Jarod Lucas said he's heard from 41 schools.

Lucas, the Beavers' leading scorer this past season at 13.5 points a game, told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he's whittled his list to a half-dozen schools.

Lucas recently made official visits to San Diego State and Nevada. On Thursday, he'll visit Washington State. Lucas has up to two more official visits remaining. Alabama, Louisiana State and Texas A&M are the likely targets for the final visits.

We've never had a 6'2" guard who was limited athletically be a star for us.

KK is gonna be a good player. He's better than his numbers at Arkansas. Can shoot and handle the ball.
