My perfect scenario.

2018-2019 4 scholarships available
1 Frye, Jr-Walker, Fr
2 Turner, So(R)-Fields, Fr, Guess, Fr
3 Lillard, Sr-Plowden, So, Seabron, Fr
4 Kulackovskis, Fr(r)-Uju, Sr(r)
5 Wiggins, Sr-Gadson, So-Ryan, Fr

1. Christian Guess-6-5 G. He is a stud and would make a huge impact. He might be going Prep
2. Dereon Seabron-6-6 G. He seems like a great player both on and off the court. Super explosive athlete and listed as a PG at 6-6
3. Tyson Walker-6-0 PG. Looks like he could be a legit PG who can run the show.
4. Ross Ryan-6-9 PF. He was injured basically all year but we need a big and his videos from 2016-2017 show an athletic big who can get up to dunk, block shots and when he gets rebounds his entire team trusted him to bring the ball up at times. We need a big and the other 2 guys I have listed are very raw. I would love to find another guy to go here or a can't miss at another position and see if Ryan would come on as a preferred Walk-on. His offers are not at our level at this time but I think his play could be. Gadson is the rawest of our freshman but Ryan could also play some PF if Gadson hits.

There is still talent to be had. I hope we don't foreclose on the idea that we need a veteran PG or go under on schollies. This team has proven it will play freshman and that it will give scholarships to walk-ons. It's time to take advantage of that. A guy like Thomas Hickman isn't getting much D1 love but I think he could be great. Same with Myles Belyeu.

Adrian Nelson would be a great get and it appears we have some interest. I'd replace Guess or Ryan with him. If you get him and/or Seabron you are getting these multidimensional long players who can play all over the court. They fit the idea of positionless basketball. You get a point and a C and the other 3 spots can go anyone. I think Plowden and Matiss will fit that as well.

He seems to be a shooter. Looks like he'd be a 2 coming off the bench to shoot. Averaged 2.3 made threes at a .365% over the last three years. If we get him hopefully he's Matt Fox with a better skill set and faster feet.

He has a weird shot. Looks like just a guy. Good to great shooter. Not sure how he fits. The type of guy who I don't really want to sign

His shot is kinda weird, he's got that leg kick. If you look at his stats though he can score, and if you watch that video he can get to the rim too, he's not completely one dimensional. Last year we beat EMU both times and Lake Erie because of Fox's 3 ball. This guy can do that and also play the game, with him and Matiss we'd have shooters to spread the floor off of Frye, Turner, and Lillard's drives and when people double Wiggins.

I guess you're right. Just watching these vids of all these other guys he doesn't seem all that exciting.


Side note: Koch is transferring to Ashland

Even before Koch's departure became official, there was the rumor that he was going to Ashland since his girlfriend is headed there on a basketball scholarship. Would be a bit ironic if Fralick gets the women's job here.

[guest44]

Koch is headed to Ashland? Ashland? A year ago people thought he was a key recruit to get BG to the NCAA Tournament. Feel free to just pen BG in as 6th place in the MAC East preseason. Yikes.

[HoopsFan]

The irony would be if Fralick gets the BG job, and brings that recruit to BG

That could be some funny shuffling.

It's not like his roster spot had been taken up yet. I'd welcome him back with open arms.

[Flipper]

He was a *** rated player...a guy with some length and supposedly some skill. He's going to Ashland? His girlfriend must be smoking hot...
