Transfers SJU May Get Involved With

Mr. JPM114. I have to disagree wholeheartedly with your statement about Yawke .... "He is however a much smarter basketball player who understands concepts on defense. I love the fact that he's a shot blocker who takes charges when that's the play to make." This past season he appeared to be lost on both ends of the floor, has no offensive moves and/or skills whatsoever (other than dunking off a simple pick and go), and often gets caught out of position. Taking a charge was simply a matter of him being in the right place (probably out of his position). I would very much like to see him improve and succeed, but don't see it based on his 16-17 season.

No disrespect but I disagree with both of you.
Kassoum Yakwe is a great kid but after two seasons he has shown very little on both ends of the court. He is not Big East starting material. If he plays major minutes next year I will be very surprised.
As far as Enoch is concerned, he showed very little at Uconn and is a back up center at best. I hope our going after a Uconn reject doesn't mean we are falling out of favor with more talented bigs in prep school. If all the fuss with Matt Abdelmassih was about going after 3 star transfers we are doomed to repeat the Lavin experience (experiment).
 
Sounds like you agreed with me at least. Just sayin'.

Since we are getting a lot of our talent via the transfer route was thinking about who our best transfer has been to date? Based on how he performed here.
Best HS recruit was Mullin
Best JUCO was Berry
Best transfer-Reggie Carter? Ron Rowan?
 
Fully agree with your assessment, but close seconds....

Best HS recruit was Mullin (Mel Davis, Billy Shaffer, Ron Artest, Mo Harkless, Malik Sealy)
Best JUCO was Berry (no question)
Best transfer-Reggie Carter? Ron Rowan? (Other thread said Kevin Loughery was a BC transfer)

Actually Juco route has probably been best for us-Berry, Hatton, Bootsy, Harvey, Porter, Brownlee

Ron Rowan. Good grief. I'd take Curtis Redding and Bernard Rencher over Ron Rowan. Not to mention Paul Berwanger.

Anyway, Billy Paultz.

Breaking my own rule about double posting thanks for not mentioning floor slapping dope Matt Brust.

Heard of Rencher and Paultz obviously but before my time. Not familiar with Berrwanger but I am a big fan of "sittin on the dock of the bay" so Redding would get my vote.

Redding was an all american at Carnesie HS who transferred from Kansas State and amounted to nothing at SJ before Lou benched him and he quit the team. Berwanger was also nothing but I like his name. Say it out loud, B-e-r-w-a-n-g-e-r, the frisson is palpable.
 
Paultz not to be disrespectful to you, MCNPA or anyone else but I'm just not sure about Enoch. He's a big strong kid but at least when I've seen him struggles with lateral movement. Also, as I ask and look for with any big kid. Does he catch the ball?? In that area I think he's just ok not great. Also I must say I don't think it's fair to lump Yakwe in with Sima. Yankwe is simply a traditional PF as opposed to a stretch 4 who does not have the physical bulk to play as an undersized center. He is however a much smarter basketball player who understands concepts on defense. I love the fact that he's a shot blocker who takes charges when that's the play to make. Playing time at the 4 and 5 positions is more a function of matchups but Yakwe can be a useful player, not sure about Sima.




Speaking of defense the one major defensive problem that wasn't fixed was allowing the opposition to have the baseline. Yakwe and Owens were both guilty of this.

I get Brust disdain even if I don't necessarily agree with it. What is the deal with the hatred for BIG SHOT Ron though?
 
Best transfer list should include yesterday's birthday boy Kevin Loughery who transferred from BC...also Ed Searcy a proud graduate of Power Memorial who transferred from Duquesne

Wasn't the clutch Billy Goodwin (played early 1960s) a JC or transfer? I think so...
 
Billy Lawrence PG from Molloy HS transferred from North Carolina way back when.(60s)

Made a big shot, otherwise overrated.

Indeed he was a JC transfer, one of several from San Jacinto
 
Sean Obi leaving Duke, assuming he is healthy he can help this program. He was a good player at Rice and just couldn't play over the horde of 5 star big men that Duke gets every year. Brings some bulk to the team and and someone who can actually post up and score.
