Khari Harley is transferring to us.

This one I don't understand. His stats remind me of Mareik Isom in the years before he found his stroke. Tall kid who mainly shoots 3-pointers, but doesn't shoot them very well. 45% of this kid's attempts were from the arc, and he only made 29.8% of them. He does not rebound well at all for a 6-9 player. He does shoot FTs very well.

He is a redshirt junior. But apparently he will graduate since Verbal Commits lists him as immediately eligible. So we are adding 2 kids, 6'9" and 6'10" to next year's roster. Both have several years experience, at Ohio, in a league comparable to the Sun Belt. We are not going to sign 6'10" freshman who are ready to step in and play. While they may not be "stars", these 2 guys should be able to play right away and help us, while giving some of the new freshman we signed a chance to develop. Strange that we are getting 2 senior transfers from the same school, but maybe they are good friends.

Apparently he redshirted as a freshman. He sat out this year due to back problems. So he was there 4 years, but has another year of eligibility. So both senior transfers were guys with potential who were beset with injury issues. If one of the two pans out that would be good. If both are healthy this year, and play well, we will have gotten a great reward for minimal risk (i.e. a one year scholarship).

Me again! Khari redshirted his freshman year and then got a lot of playing time his second year, was a starter in his third year, and redshirted again last year. So you may actually get two years out of him. He's a legit 6'9'' with handles and range, but his back issues have never truly healed. Honestly, I think you're going to get more out of Wadly than Khari.

Thanks again for your input.

Maybe he will find his stroke like Mareik did.
