I agree with the part about him replacing Baker. If Baker gets a lot of minutes per game next year we are in deep dodo. Haynes is going to be a welcome addition but he is not a point guard.The truth is we need a point guard bad. I don't think Caver is the answer. He is a deceit back up but we need a point guard badly. All the rest of the parts are in place for a great season.

Simpkins definitely has a quick twitch athleticism that no one else on the roster has.

See, I'm going to hold off judgement on Caver. JJ loves him and goes out of his way in interviews to compliment his Basketball IQ. Also, he supposedly dominates in practice. I think once he gets some confidence he'll really get going next year. He is always at the SRC shooting too. But yeah a grad transfer guard would definitely be nice!

I agree we could use another point guard, and preferably either a fifth year senior, or a JUCO who has some on college level experience.

As far as Caver, I think he is a very good point guard. His assist to turnover ratio is better than 2-to-1 which is excellent, especially for a freshman. He turned the ball over only 0.8 times per game in over 15 minutes of playing time. He's a hell of an athlete, and a good defender. I remember him skying to block an alley oop pass during the UTEP game I believe. The kid can really elevate. He did not shoot a very good percentage but he hardly had enough attempts to develop any kind of rhythm. While Freeman averaged almost 20 attempts per game, Caver averaged fewer than 3 attempts. I suspect his shooting percentage will go up dramatically with more frequency.

hey who knows maybe Xavier Green can be the ultimate mismatch at 6'6"

Haha, I've been checking this thread a few times a day waiting for this news to hit now that it's after the Final Four.

When you say "good" news are you saying that the player we're getting is a very good player who should really help next year, or that we're just getting a new player.

IMO he is going to be a very good player. Patience.

Who is the player? Out with it!


RE: 2016 Old Dominion Basketball Recruiting Den - Jackie Moon - 04-04-2016 12:37 PM

I really don't get why some of you claim to know who the player is but yet don't want to say. You want everyone to know that you have sources and pat you on the back. Big freaking deal.

Why even post that you know when you don't have the balls to put a name out there?

I mean, I trust they a have some info, since almost always after someone posts something similar news of some sort comes out. Not really a random shot in the dark like it'd be if they didn't have any info.
