He can certainly shoot. Looks decent at everything. Solid contributor at the 3. Solid handles, very good size, played on a great Juco team.

He Committed!

Watch the videos. Give me your hot takes. I have 100% confidence in this staff and Jucos. Sierra and Laster and Uju were all solid contributors.

One available after the Diggs commitment

Jake Forrester is Transferring from Indiana. A former 4 star recruit who we were after before he blew up and started getting bigger offers.

Would have to sit out a year and didn't have a great freshman year. Still he is the kind of player that would be a roster changer. Instant star and starter when he was ready and would pair very well with Turner-Fields-Turner-Zeigler-Plowden

This guy would fit us perfect

Trey Diggs: love this kid's game - don't know how we will keep him off the floor.

He obviously went to school on the techniques of players James Harden, Stephen Currey, and Joe Johnson. His footwork with the ball is advanced. His handles allow him to do whatever he wants with the ball - pass, shoot, drive. His shot mechanics are slick and his release his immediate. His natural range is 25'. I can't wait til he shows up at BG!

This recruiting class smells like the best we've had in a LOONNGG time.
Zeigler
CTurner
Diggs
...and I don't know how we keep any of them off the floor. They all will compete immediately for starting spots.

With one remaining scholarship, seems like we really need to focus exclusively on immediate depth in the low post.

(How is Gadson coming along, and why does he never see the court? Is he progressing or planning to transfer? He looked like a potential monster coming out of HS.)

Good work, Globe!

Good work, Globe!

Thanks. Love your takes on him. He does look good. Odd that he didn't get more time on his roster in Juco essentially coming off the bench but there were atleast 3 of the starters going D1.

The more I think about this guy the more I think he is an ideal fit and that we really need to go after him.
1. He already tried the big school xfer and it resulted in an off year with less minutes than he probably expected. Went from 27.5mpg to 8.4mpg. From 10.2ppg to 2ppg. from 9rpg to 2rpg.
2. We can offer a starting spot. 28mpg. We need to replace 12.5ppg and 10.6rpg
3. He is a better athlete than Wiggins so would run the floor better with a team that wants to do that.
4. We just won 22 games and return the other 4 starters.

This is a marriage made in heaven. Get it done!

Good work, Globe!

Thanks. Love your takes on him. He does look good. Odd that he didn't get more time on his roster in Juco essentially coming off the bench but there were atleast 30 of the starters going D1.

I watched the videos, it looks like he's changed his jump shot. Earlier on it looks like he's holding the ball lower making is harder to get his shot off quickly. It looks like he's started to get the ball above his head. I like how his game looks. At the very minimum, he gives us a spot up shooter and long defender. He doesn't look very quick off the dribble, it seems like he could be a much better version of what Matt Fox was for us.

Originally from Detroit area. averaged 7.5 and 3.6 last year in 19 minutes. Better than what we have for sure but not overly excited about him.

Brady Ernst from Florida Gulf Coast big kid with decent shooting range. Toledo recruited him out of HS, from Iowa. 6'10" 230. He would eligible immediately.

He landed at Drake

Interesting guy

Donoven Carlisle Denver 6-8 210
Former Walk-on, who became a contributor. Can certainly run the floor.

https://denverpioneers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2217" target="_blank
https://www.hudl.com/profile/8353620/Donoven-Carlisle" target="_blank
Looks very athletic. Curious why he walked on? Notes show him from Indy and Ft lauderdale. Not a great scorer in HS. You can't see his defense at all but he runs and plays above the rim. He is athletic enough that he won't slow down a guard heavy team. I don't know if he would have to sit out a year.

[Globetrotter]

We lost out on him 2 years ago to Toledo but a guy we offered is transferring now from Toledo

He was redshirted year 1 at Toledo and then didn't play much last year.
