I'm not being recruited. Just an update
Fred's system worked for grad transfers. Floor spacing, utilize your talent, try to stay infront of your guy on D.
Prohm demands D, sit and play have a better shot to make an impact.
End of the day I love how Hoiball resurected the program, but Prohm is the the coach that can take the program to unachieved levels.

Kentucky, Kansas, and Villanova also were not in the grad transfer market when Fred was here. People seem to forget that.
Sure they were. And they were also after guys like White.
People seem to forget there are a lot more transfers now, and that we start three of them and four in our top-7. The Fred grad transfer narrative is overblown. He only had Anderson his first year, then Kane and BDJ.
This is CF. You should know by now that thread titles do not always indicate the actual topic discussed.
Bowen Borne vs Xavier Foster tonight in Norwalk. Should be interesting
Did Bowen dunk tonight? Dude is 5'11 and can two-hand dunk WITH EASE.
When I want to watch overhyped tiny PGs play score first basketball I always tune in to McKinley Wright and Tyler Harris.
Yes, some of the blue bloods were in the grad transfer market. Fred's willingness to go after sit out transfers was relatively rare for P5 schools. Some did it, but it was not that common, and it certainly wasn't a recruiting priority. Sure UK offered Royce, but he was a big time recruit and talent. The difference isn't so much that teams offer grad transfers and sit one transfers, it's that recruiting transfers has become a focus and staffs spend a lot more time and effort recruiting them.
Well, if Prohm wouldn't have missed on McNeil we wouldn't have to worry about how he missed on Wright and Harris. Imagine these guys dishing to Ernst for some dunks. Oh, What could've been.
I remember a lot of people thinking he'd be an upgrade over Haliburton. Now TH is a taller Morris plus no daddy baggage.
I love Haliburton, I think he is a huge glue guy which is very important. Someday he may be better than Morris, but he's not close to as good as Morris yet.
Well, not if you are going to compare him to Morris his senior year. But, let's do a comparison that's more relevant, their freshman seasons after the same number of games. Haliburton is actually as good, if not better, than Monte was at the same point in his freshman season. There is actually talk of Haliburton becoming an NBA player which I don't recall being the case with Monte his freshman season. Whether he continues to grow as Monte did remains to be seen, though he appears to be the type of player who will continue to work to get better. Then, let's compare their senior seasons.
He dunked at the last game I went to. He has some hops. His dad did also and was probably about an inch taller.
Only time will tell if he progresses like Monte but his freshman stats are a little stronger plus Fred was able to slow play MM where Wiggys foot made that impossible. Nothing here to argue about, we both hope TH has a career similar to MM. Time will tell.
