Point Guard?
« on: January 12, 2018, 06:44:19 AM »
We need a(another) point guard for 2018.  Let's get to work.  Who are the targets?

Joe Girard. Hopefully the staff can beat out Vermont, Marist, Tulane and Penn St for his services

I'll play...

WARNING:  I have never recruited anybody, nor have I been recruited.  It's fair so say I know nothing about recruiting but....

With that in mind, I offer the following:

The good 2018 recruits are spoken for.  Same goes for Juco's.  Both would require a multi year commitment which may not be desirable.  A standard transfer (student athlete currently playing at another university who is looking for a better opportunity) would require a year of sitting.  It seems like the Euros have not worked out for SJU, though I'm sure there are kids that could contribute.   Europe is a continent with a couple hundred million residents for Pete's sake.  So far, I have provided no names.

Seat belts on.  Here goes...If we do indeed need a point guard for 2018, the search starts with post grads.  If memory serves me correctly, those names do not surface until April.

That's all I got.

This is with ponds staying or leaving?

Assuming Ponds stays and so does Simon....and Dixon can play a little point.....we'll still need another point.....big man depth seems solved  if sit outs and recruits end up being decent.   A grad. transfer is probably the way to go.   From what I've read, doesn't seem like Girard is a Big East point guard.....for breaking pressure, distributing. and playing pressure on ball defense.

Dixion is not a pg? Agree that we need a PG. always think we should have atleast 3 on the roster.

I thought Dixon was a scorer more than a point guard.   Also, is he a lock down defender?

And the roster imbalance continues.  Signing an athletic, long PG is forbidden in Queens. Keep the 6'2 shooting guards coming.

I believe Girard is a 2019 recruit.

I think the roster will be pretty well-balanced assuming no major defections....we just need a point guard.

Did Ponds leave? Have you seen the transfers or recruits play?

No ponds hasn’t left- do you agree that it is 50/50?
If we lose ponds, Lovett, Ahmed, and Amar. We lose our top 3 scorers and our 8th  best scorer. How could we be better?

I doubt Ponds leaves.  We can be better with 1) more depth 2) better rebounding 3) a point guard 4) Shamorie regains his shooting touch or drives to hoop more 5) a little more luck 6) a slightly weaker Big East 7) a more experienced staff 8) more size....have you seen Seedee's shoulders? 8) better three point shooting percentage....Dixon and law of averages

Give me a veteran rental grad transfer, something this year's team sorely needs and should have.

I'm half joking here, but what about Jahvon Quinerly? Do we dare?

Would he dare? Lol  He'd be crazy not to go to Nova.

Nova staff worked their tails off for him, feds and NCAA Indy offices yet to strike the gavel. Very likely ineligible for accepting impermissible benefits, Europe bound. The involved programs are going to feel the wrath of the government and Indy soon enough. Dark cloud quietly over the sport looming while the season is ongoing, they might do this during March Madness for affect.
