Yeah, it's pretty clear at this point, we've got the shooters -- DSR, Cameron, hopefully Domingo, and we need to go get some athletes as well. And big men. Can always be open to quality big men. Looking back at the Cameron and Domingo comment... Hahah

Good rebounder, but pretty awful efficiency. I haven't watched him -- is he a dude that was forced to do too much or is he inherently a ball hog? Because his usage was pretty high, but he was at Mikael-levels of inefficiency. I would love to have him over Agau. He is forced to do too much on that team. He is a good ball handler which would have made him a nice piece in this offense. Good on the boards. I agree that Williams was asked to do too much on Mizzou but I disagree with preferring him over Agua. Agua is much more physical and I can see him banging down low. From the 3 games I saw of Williams last year he appeared to be more of a 3/4 and he shot a lot of 10-15 ft jumpers. I think we need more physicality on next years team. Also I wasn't that impressed with Williams' game. I remember thinking "man I'm glad he didn't choose Gtown". The kid finished a lot like Hop in the few games that I saw.

He is a completely different player than Hop. He is more of a 3 than a 4 NBA wise but in our offense he can handle the ball and drive alot better than Agau can. He is more of an explosive athlete with great leaping ability. I would take him in a minute. The problem is he would never come here now anyway.

Wtf. Why Arizona? I get the other 2 conferences. He'll probably end up at Memphis or Louisville.

Now that Foster's off the board, Williams and NWG are the transfers I would most want to add to the roster. Williams would be a perfect replacement if Copeland blows up this year and goes pro.

Actually seeing what JT3 said about Copeland after the season ended I really like this.

Why would that be ridiculous? zo has been very supportive of the university and the program. It's essentially giving the university $50k a year for now 3 years to help the program. Why wouldn't he do it? Not saying he should do it or that he owes to anybody but it's not any more ridiculous than my hoop club donation every year or donating money to the JT Center.

Maybe "ridiculous" was the wrong word but I'm not sure of the right one. Trey earned a scholarship. This isn't about his dad. Unless it was entirely Alonzo's idea and suggestion that he really pushed for, I would feel really weird about Trey no longer being on scholarship. Trey is his own person and he earned his slot and his scholarship. Alonzo is a great Hoya and a huge credit to both the program and the University. Trey deserves the opportunity to separate himself from his father and make his own mark without any additional reminders that he's the son of an all time great. The school and the program wasn't doing a favor for Trey by giving him a scholarship. And it would be a little sketchy if Alonzo gave the University the favor of paying Trey's way even though he's earned his spot.

I thought it was known that he was on scholarship. Maybe I am mistaken. This same line of thinking came around the time Patrick Ewing Jr. arrived. Patrick Jr. was on full scholarship and remained so, just like Alonzo III (Trey) is on scholarship.

Patrick Jr. was on full scholarship and remained so, just like Alonzo III (Trey) is on scholarship. And he was worth it! 6th man of the year, after losing his starting spot. Now THAT is what team spirit is all about. Love that kid. And I'm glad young Mourning is on our team too.
