Potential Grad Transfer Guard (Basketball)

[t-gator]

He shot 29% from 3-pt land last year. What were you reading?
I think BFR can be a better player than this kid if he puts in the work. But if White's serious about bringing Pryor in, then maybe it does say something to BFRs future as a Gator, as these guys have a lot similarities. And the world turns................

Lol I was being sarcastic

I think this would be ideal. This guy is a grad transfer and it would open up a scholarship for 2017. And we're in on some good ones for that class.

Otherwise, get another big man or swingman if there's one out there to be had.

My concern is the depth with our true big guys. Next year we have Egbunu, Hayes, and the new guy coming in. We can easily lose Egbunu next year. I hope White will get 2 big guys in 2017.

How would it hinder Allen's growth? They would probably play beside eachother.

What i meant is that if Allen were to make returns and makes a typical Frosh to Soph progression, Pryor might be redundant. Allen seems to be a Kenny Boynton with the ability to drive a bit without charging or Hill with a bit of a shot. He could well pick up a good bit of the Finney-Smith scoring slack. The better Allen is the more redundant Pryor would be in my view.

I'll take it. This kid would have to sit out one year since he is a transfer so he wouldn't be on the court with Allen until Allen's Jr. year and at that point I think they would figure it out. Unless he is a grad transfer, but I didn't see that. I may have missed it.

As far as a big guy... it would be nice if we could close the deal here with Daniel Giddens who is 6'10 and transferring from OSU... https://247sports.com/Bolt/Report-Ohio-State-transfer-Daniel-Giddens-considers-six-schools-44555244

I am a bit concerned at the 4 next year if Murphy does not get his 6th year or gets hurt again. I see Leon at the 3, Robinson and Murphy at the 4.

Right now I see a rotation of:

Guard: Hill, Allen, Chiozza, if each of them takes the off season seriously and works to get better, this could be a good group.
Forward: Leon, Robinson, Murphy, Leon and Robinson shot decently from the arc last season and can play the minutes at the 3. Robinson can easily play at the 4 too. Murphy is more of a pure 4.
Center: Egbunu, Hayes, if both are back this could be one of the best combos of bigs around.

If they all return, that is a core of 8 guys we know can play now. Francis-Ramirez is said to be a consistent shooter in practice, so if he could just transfer it to game action that would be a plus. Stone also might be able to contribute at the 3 or maybe 4. Either of the two frosh contributing much next year would be a bonus.

As far as big men, it sounds like we might get Gorjok Gak. He was signed with Oklahoma St until Ford was fired. Sounds good that we might get him. 6-10, shot blocker and inside scorer.

As far as Rodney Pryor is concerned...he looks like a really great athlete, can finish inside, hit the mid range jumper and 3pter. Is somewhat a volume shooter but that's probably cause the team he is on. Takes a lot of contested shots and actually makes some. The only thing I don't like is his jumpshot. It seems slow and he cocks the shot slight across his face. It's not pretty but apparently it works which might still be better than some of our players lol

Anyone know anything about him. All I could find was that he was an unranked 3 star. But stars are meaningless in today's world. It's entirely possible he was the back up center on his team and just needs a chance.

Here is some video on him. I think it's from a year ago

If we can get gak , that would be a nice pick up. That would give us a way better option than rimmer next year and we could play some with 2 true bigs if need we need to. And we would have a big man for the future.

Here is video on Rodney Pryor for those interested as well

He's got a very nice offer list that includes uconn. He's probably just a little raw is why he's a 3star.

Where do you see that we might get him? What about the UNF dude?

Underwhelming is all I can say. He's a stick and seems in slow motion almost. Do we waste a scholie on this kid or hope White can reel in a stud next year?

He played juco before Robert Morris. He's going to graduate and be eligible immediately.

 

[MertzJay26]

Bring em on down! This is exciting if we can snag a couple guys that can bring immediate help.

 

[t-gator]

Anybody who wouldn't want another scorer on this team is smoking crack. There's a reason so many schools are on this guy already.

Yea I read and article that said we recruited him. Guess I was hoping to see he was visiting or something.

Dude is from Bradenton....can't miss on this, right?
