Guys, the Sima transfer gave us a additional 2017 scholarship. If another player were to transfer, we would have to fill a additional scholarship in addition to the one we already have! Why speculate about kids who are proudly wearing the jersey and battling for this team through March when we already need to fill this newly opened scholarship to begin with?

Seems pretty stacked and evenly distributed if you ask me.

I understand what you're saying, but the staff is out openly recruiting a starting pg.  That's a pretty clear indication something is brewing.

I agree that sometimes the fan base has a wild imagination.  But in this case, we're just discussing what's been put in front of our faces.

This kid isn't a PG nor is Simon. Every kid under 6'7 thinks they are a PG until told otherwise. I don't think recruiting a scoring combo (with ties to Clark) says anything.

Jahmal McMurray is a PG

His 6.7 three- point attempts  v. 2.0  assists per game say otherwise.

Stats don't exactly tell you what position he plays. He's a score first PG. He had been playing off the ball a little more this year than last year because they have Geno Thorpe now, but he was still their starting PG.

He's was tied for 4th on the team in assists. He only averaged 2.5 assists last year as
well. He's a classic undersized scoring guard...maybe he can be stretched into a combo guard Iike Harrison was a combo guard.

Or we need to give our good young players a chance to grow up.  The successful programs in our conference, and in the country generally (putting aside the blue bloods), tend to win with upperclassmen who develop physically and mentally.  I think we have real talent on this team and that our freshman and sophs will be good players as time goes on (and some, like Ponds/Lovett, are already good right now).

Well this isn't hs or travel ball. He played exclusively off the ball in Arizona.

Shamorie Ponds
Marcus Lovett
Justin Simon
Zach Brown

All top 50 players in class.

Kassoum Yakwe was top 100.

Ellison, Owens, and Clark all fringe top 100.

Mussini and Freudenberg would have been top 100 if they played in the states.

Bash was all-American juco

Just leaves Amar and D. Williams who are both 6'9 and offer different skill sets.

Talent isn't the issue.

Sure nor is it the NBA but he'd be a PG there too.

A lot of politics at UofA which is why he got out. Justin played for independent travel program. It was easy to burn bridge to Simon there vs other players from feeder teams.

He'll play off the ball here and on it too. Just like you see with Ellison at times. Can't wait for him to suit up.

Whether or not McMurray and Simon are PGs, SGs, or combos is besides the point here. The point is that we are looking to add to a spot where we seemingly have a surplus. Let's say that everybody stays and McMurray jumps aboard. Next year our backcourt is Lovett, Ponds, Simon, McMurray, Mussini and Ellison to fill 3 spots on the court and that would be assuming Bash and Freud play exclusively at the 4 where they would probably each see time at the 3 since Clark will get minutes at the 4.

Maybe the staff is just stockpiling as much talent as they possibly could and who could blame them for that. But why would A) The staff allocate resources and a scholarship to McMurray when that time and schollie is better used on a big, and B) why would McMurray be interested in us with that stockpile of backcourt guys unless he was told it won't be that crowded at this time next year.

Somethings gotta give here.

The problem is , Lovett is the one probably leaving. The S. FL. Kid wouldn't transfer here to be buried on the bench.

He'll play off the ball here and on it too. Just like you see with Ellison at times. Can't wait for him to suit up.

Let's be clear, PG is the only option for him in the NBA due to his size and limited jumper. He's a 2/3 in college with the ability to run the offense here and there...just like Ellison. I don't think it's splitting hairs to not refer to either as a PG. They aren't. Ellison can't defend the position at all...I at least expect Simon to be able to do that well.  McMurray by all accounts is, at best, a combo guard. I'd assume him coming on board would affect Mussini the most since they are both undersized volume shooters.

I don't read anything into his recruitment.  I think Mullin just wants a solid 1-3 and is willing to roll out three guards to get it done. McMurray could be instant offense off the bench that can play a few positions. We are a mediocre team, so talent at any position will be welcome.

But McMurray wouldn't leave USF, a place where he'd be guaranteed to play as many minutes as he possibly could and have a constant green light to shoot to come to a place where he'd be competing for minutes and shots with 5 other guys. The fact he's considering us makes me believe he's been told that not all 5 guys will be here by the time he's ready to suit up
