trueblue32 Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 Another name that we'd be dumb to not eventually be connected to: Greg Dolan from Williamsville. He's a senior at Cornell and his sophomore year was wiped out by COVID. Still has a year of eligibility but Ivy League doesn't permit graduate students. He's currently averaging 13.5/3.6/3.6 and shooting 43% from 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the answer is yes, I'm just surprised to see any level of recruiting going on without knowing what direction the new coach will take the team. I suppose reaching out doesn't hurt though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 6'7" and shot 46% from 3. Looks like pretty much a catch and shoot guy with only a 6.4% assist rate and 6.8% TO rate. Interesting one, he's from Mississauga, so that should help our case. 176th rated available transfer by evanmiya.com. FYI his rankings only project for next year and don't account for younger players having extra eligiblity. UB transfer rankings for reference: Powell: 76th Jones: 107th Jack: 238th Williamson: 478th Blocker: 618th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so a few things on this. Evan's BPR is an all-in-one metric meant to represent how many points per 100 possessions a player is better than a replacement player. Any all-in-one metric has its flaws, but in my experience it seems to be the closest all-in-one I've found to what my eyes tell me. On the projections for next year, like I said above it doesn't account for Jones' extra eligibility, and it also bakes in some degree of recruiting pedigree which can help offset some of the effects of a bad fit (which may be why they're in the portal). FWIW Jones' was rated higher this season, I don't know exactly what gives Powell the edge in his projection next season, but I think most people on the forum agree he is a good talent and it's possible the fit just wasn't right here, maybe we'll see next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCas86 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Another prospect..Greg Gordon. Here are his stats Third team all American https://www.dscc.edu/content/dscc-greg-gordon-named-njcaa-third-team-all-american 3pt (only shot 31) and ft shooting needs improvement, but very efficient fro 2 PT range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you liked Zid Powell, you're going to love Greg Gordon 😂. Seriously though, those are the most bizarre shooting splits I've ever seen for a guard. Even more unusual than Davonta, who I had forgotten shot 41% FT (!) for his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabulls Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Isn’t Jay Wrights offense a lot of ball screens? Players like Gordon could thrive in that, especially if they like to shoot the two pointers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Zid or Gordon could thrive in it as a controlled offense. Zid's main issue was he tried create for himself and caused himself trouble. As part a gear in the bigger mechanism that moves around, he could do very well. I think Curtis Jones would be in that same camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
