2022 Transfer Offer Thread

A point forward is a forward that plays the point.

I was thinking of him as a facilitator/scorer from the 3 spot rather than having primary PG duties.

20 points a game that’s all?? Lol

He can get his own shot any time he wants if he has Hurley’s OK. He can put up points in a hurry, can get to the line, good ft shooter. Cole took it on himself to take the shots and Hawkins would have to do that whether he’s hot or cold. At 30+ minutes a game it’s possible, but not at 20 minutes. Hurley has to recognize who can score from the guard position. Who else you got?

I think the backlash against Andre at point on this board is largely a straw man. I haven’t seen anyone suggest that he should be the only player capable of playing the point on the roster. My guess is it will look similar to this past year where there will be a point guard but where Andre will see a lot of time at the point.

I think people are just freaking out because we currently don't have a point guard on the roster so people are talking about Jackson and Floyd playing the point when they clearly aren't starting point guards. Hurley needs to bring in a stud point guard and everyone will move on to the next thing to worry about.

KenPom pace stats

Offensive rebounds slow down our pace metrics. We were significantly faster than that. We pushed the ball a lot with Andre grabbing and going. We were 27th in the country in fast break points per game.

Slipped to the 40s in conference play, though. Still a lot higher than 300th...

We also slow our opponents down a ton which heavily impacts that Kenpom pace number. We’re not turtles like UVA, but the half court hasn’t been our friend. We’ve all seen the stretches where nobody besides Sanogo (or Bouknight last year) wants the ball, and we tended to use the whole shot clock in many of those stretches.

As an aside, that SCP FG% made me lol (painfully)

That's a rough stat given they were best at getting 2nd chance opportunities. The PITP is embarrassing.

Thanks guys. I have a Kenpom subscription already, is this website with fast break points free?

I need to make a list of all these websites and bookmark them.

29th percentile… man. There will be so much roster turnover so maybe that changes soon

If we don’t land at least one guard by Wednesday, I’ll start to get nervous. That’s a reasonable time frame considering some transfers already signed last week.

Don't necessarily need a signing, but would love some visits set up or on narrowed lists or whatever.

That being said, couple reporters/insiders have been dropping hints about Europe, so I have no idea what kind of timetable that might be.

Wednesday might be pushing it. All the hoops coaches are down in NO through Monday at the NABC. That's why it's been relatively quiet last few days.

Ok, what’s an appropriate time frame, and don’t say “ 20 minutes “. Lol

No real reason to be concerned until the guys we've been connected to start going elsewhere, so hard to put a time frame on that

This. And new guys going into portal still daily although The new names added pace is slowing

 

[RipCity]

The waiting game is no fun with this many spots to fill. I hope by next weekend we’ll have some answers

 

[mauconnfan]

Start me up with Newton and Nolley, I’d be ok.

That’s my point. It’s like a game of musical chairs. It’s an exciting part of the game but nerve racking

 

[Son of Robert]

The guys at the car wash said, "no worries mon, Hurley has all of this under control." They said they heard Hurley say, "we got this, we're going to play a faster tempo next season with all our new guards."

 

[Kathy]

Nadev Henefeld - great point forward for us.

 

[olehead]

If our goal is to be playing this time next year we need an entire roster of bucket getters. UNC vs. Duke looked like a different sport than what we showed this season.

Amen.

Who on the staff has been working Europe? I wonder if Geno has some insights?

We have like 15+ alumni playing in Europe. Hopefully they provide tips

I just know we’re going to end up with some apprentice chimney sweep from Latvia as a starting guard.

As long as he can shoot.
