I would take Stirtz in a heartbeat.

Exactly! But I don't think his credentials last year would have excited anyone.

That’s why you need to do your homework. That includes talking to people who see him play.

McCollum had the unique advantage in which he didn't need to do in depth research or talk to anyone about Stirtz. He saw first hand what Stirtz brought to the table for two years before his transfer to Drake.

Windshield wiper slappin' time
I was holdin' Kobe's hand in mine
We sang every song Red Autry knew

Somewhere near Salina street we let him slip away

 

[Cappy3]

What if he was a DII guard scoring 15 per game and shooting 32% from 3? Oh wait, that is Bennett Stirtz.

Keep cherry picking. Fact is for every Stirtz there are 10 or more Carlos’s.

But what makes you think this guy is a "Carlos?" Carlos's numbers this year were not very different from his numbers at Hofstra, I think people just hoped he'd be better than he was. This guy shoots 48% from the floor and 43% from three. Even if he is just a depth guy, we need those guys and we aren't going to get them from other power 5 teams.

I said Carlos was going to be a dud last summer. This is someone I don't have a problem getting behind. His interest list says enough. His advanced metrics are good. Carlos were not. You have to look past just what school they were at.

Carlos was a two time defensive team pick, averaged over 6assists, a 3/1 assist to to ratio, and shot 34% from 3 In the same league. You have to consider the level of opposition.

If we think we can compete in the ACC with a team full of CAA players, get used to struggling to make the league tournament.

But Auburn's top scorer came from Morehead State, Alabama's top scorer came from Ohio, Tennessee's top scorer came from North Florida, and Florida's top scorer came from Iona. So if you refuse to recruit some mid major guys you are likely missing out on the best available guys.

Who said anything about a team full of CAA players? No one. We are talking about one guy.

 

[hoopsupstate]

He would be a great get.

There is a ton of talent playing at Lower levels.

 

[Cappy3]

Well, I’ve seen a lot of names bandied about, and almost all are at that level.

 

[Cappy3]

There is a ton of talent playing at Lower levels.

Like Carlos, Davis and Taylor, all of whom put up good numbers at low major leagues, and how’d they do.

We are in a lot better place than we were at this time last year. I don't know how it will all shake out. No one does. But Kline has been on the portal for months. Last year, we started on the portal, after it had started. We didn't have money and even if we did, we weren't prepared for it.

 

[kcsu]

Like Carlos, Davis and Taylor, all of whom put up good numbers at low major leagues, and how’d they do.

Davis Carlos and Taylor are good depth players.
IF... Bell had progressed
IF...We had landed a true PG
IF...Donnie hadn't been injured.
IF.. JJ hadn't been injured
IF McClead hadn't been injured
We would have rolled with
1: ?
2: JJ
3: Bell
4: Donnie
5: Lampkin.
By not landing a stud at PG and because of injuries everything collapsed. Adding to the Mess where Bells issues and Red not being good.
Still IF we had landed a good 1 and if everyone had stayed healthy we would have had a decent year.
Taylor Davis and Carlos were never projected to start.

 

[djcon57]

He has a specific elite skill. Obviously he's not going to blow anyone away with his defense, but he still doesn't appear to be a complete negative.

Even if he shoots like 38% it would be a huge improvement.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Drexel? Gives me Carlos vibes. How about somebody who played in a decent league for a change?

Long Island is not the same as Philly.

 

[IthacaMatt]

It's like recruiting all over again. You can tell a lot about how good a player is based on the other schools you are competing with. Who is talking to him?

 

[IthacaMatt]

I think the idea is to get experienced guys who understand the physical demands of college ball, versus young string bean kids out of high school. Who was tougher, Donnie Freeman or Jyare Davis?

Well, the physical demands of a P5 league are radically different from those of a low level league. I’d vastly prefer we either look for P5 experience, or at least guys from one of the higher mid-majors, like the A-10, Conference USA, the Missouri Valley etc. i just don’t think that getting guys from leagues like the CAA will make us competitive.

The school should hire someone like Tony Bennett as an assistant to Red. At least you would have someone on staff who had a plan to run a program.

You'll never make it to cashier, Bob. If you think Tony Bennett is coming out of retirement to be Red's assistant.
