That's fine with me, but I will need to see more than just dunks. Dunking doesn't impress me a whole lot... nearly every college basketball player can dunk.
Let's get some video before drawing conclusions. We all know what Big 12 players look like.
Let me prohm coach
15+ pts, 4+ rebs, and 7 assists per game is quite a bit better than 6 pts, 2 rebs, and less than 1 assist per game.
Granted, this kid is was a freshman and only played 15 mins per game while Kane was older and played 37 mins a game, so who knows?
.Point well taken. I won't worry about this at this point. I just hope we're smart enough to save some spots for after we kick total butt this year and everyone wants to come and play here. That's all.
He only has one month to fill up 2016-17's roster? I wasn't aware of that? Signing day for the 2016-17 class is coming up soon? I didn't know that?
Said for Babb and Enst...sounds like a good way to return to McD days imo.
Stapleton is by far the most B12 ready of the group. He at least showed some production when playing a small role. Plus he will get a year to sit and learn and develop, and we have seen how useful that can be.
Personally I wish we'd have gone for another transfer but it doesn't seem like we've sniffed some of the bigger name ones since Prohm got here.
(Or Fred for that matter. I thought we'd go harder after transfers to give the 16/17 roster a jolt, like a mini version of when Fred first got here and with better players, but he didn't do it for some reason.)
Babb is a Fred guy though...

Possibly... I can't really remember what I thought about Kane at the time of his recruitment. Although, didn't he put up some gaudy numbers at Marshall?
As I stated, I don't know much about this kid, other than his offers and stats, etc.... so I hope he is some kind of diamond in the rough rising star that I don't know about.
I'm in no way saying he won't be a good get.... he could very well be. I'm just saying that on paper this isn't the level of player we should be recruiting IMO.
This thread couldn't have got off to a worse start. We actually had posters giving serious thought to a comparison with Kane. The only thing similar about the two is that they are transfers.
If you think Prohm is planning on filling the roster with primarily low 3-stars, you're either delusional or you just enjoy stirring the CF pot. We will be offering plenty of Top 100 guys.
Kane was only brought up because he too came from a mid major level school in Marshall, similar to La Tech. Not because anyone thought their games were similar.
This name sounded familiar. Now I remember why. I saw he was transferring and La Tech restricted where he could go:
"According to the Clarion-Ledger, the school is restricting Stapleton from transferring to more than 50 Division I schools. On that list are other Conference USA schools, schools that are on future non-conference schedules and schools located in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas. Also on the list is Florida, where former Louisiana Tech head coach Michael White is now in charge."
