Do we have any true shooters come in next years class? Like Gmac and A. Rautins of old? This obviously is a huge need for this team?

I thought Malachi was more of an all-around scorer (including midrange) and not a particularly dangerous deep threat.For class of 2015 (which is not next year's group of recruits), we have two in Malachi and Tyler Lydon
Hey Phat ,now that is PHact We gotta get some of that kind of player. One thing that in my mind is consistency with his shot. I understand that every player has a down period when the hand eye correlation,when muscle memory and these needs are not in sync. But going through a whole season when every shot made is greeted anticipation that more MIGHT follow reasonably close in time to the one just made.there's probalby a ton of shooters out there. every team seems to have them (except us.)
I think you're going to like Kaleb Joseph's mid range game but it's going to take some growing pains, especially if TE is still around. He and McCullough can shoot with range, but no pure shooters for the class of 2014.Thanks for that, who do we have coming in next year to help shooting wise? Anyone?
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but we have 2 guys coming in next year, Kaleb Joseph (PG) and Chris McCoulough (F).Thanks for that, who do we have coming in next year to help shooting wise? Anyone?
It doesn't solve anything next year, but in two years we may have one of our best shooting teams ever with a senior Cooney, BJ, Malachi, and Lydon, along with a guy like Buss who can knock down the three and then Joseph, as well. Plethora of shooters in the 15-16 season.
It will be interesting to see if players like Buss and BJ crack the rotation next year, and contribute some perimeter firepower. We could go from having two players who can shoot the three to having three or four. Having one or two of those frosh take the next step would also go a long way toward rectifying the complete lack of bench scoring we've endured this season, as well.
I'd like to see us get back to 9 guys again next year. That gives us more offensive options. Coach shouldn't be quite so focused on whether the guy is 100% capable defensively and has to let some of these guys grow into the job. We really could have used another guy to have emerged this year offensively.
Maybe Malachi will reclassifyFor class of 2015 (which is not next year's group of recruits), we have two in Malachi and Tyler Lydon

GMAc? Didn't cooney and Ennis hit at a better clip than GMAc?Do we have any true shooters come in next years class? Like Gmac and A. Rautins of old? This obviously is a huge need for this team?
Please stop comparing Cooney to GMac. GMac did everything but drive the bus for Syracuse. GMac hit 6 threes in the first half of the title game against Kansas as a freshman. GMac practically won won one big East tournament for us and got us into the NCAA's. He was an incredible warrior who did all that while being an asthmatic.GMAc?

I hope that Cooney becomes a great player, but to compare him to GMac at this time is silly. Stats. can be very deceiving. The key is can you do it when it counts which is what GMac and Ennis for that matter have proven they can do.
