That's Frazier's role-he's going to have to step up like he was beginning to do at end of season. . We've got Moore and Sterling who really shot the 3 pretty darn well for a true freshman. What we really could use is SF that could hit 3s or a guy like Hancock at Louisville. An 18 year old Dirk wouldn't hurt.

You're right in that the big issue with a freshman guard sniper is will they play defense well enough to make LB happy (see Brian B)? A Hancock or Daniels type guy would be ideal. There are only four of the Rivals top 150 uncommitted. I'm sure the staff is all over the JUCO prospects.


Sounds like a DJ Hogg type (of course won't help us next year, but he seems to fit the Daniels mold).

Not a bad comparison.

6'7" shooter with a decent bball IQ from what I could tell. Not sure about his attack mode skills/toughness/competitiveness.

Same type of game that Terrance Ferguson plays. Ferguson seems to attack the rim a little more than Hogg though. I love both of their games. I'm still very optimistic about getting Ferguson.

Yeah, I think Ferguson is very special. We'll see.

They will still suck.

I don't think there's smoke yet though.

My gut tells me that he really likes KU, parents think it's too far and want him to go to SMU, and UT is a compromise choice being closer to home (not too close) but in the potentially more stable Big 12 with a history of good basketball/fan support. We are still an upstart in this young man's eyes. I hope to be proven wrong, but everyone has been saying UT for weeks.

That theory actually makes a little bit of sense.

Myles tweeted today that his list being down to 3 is not true.
