This player could be the difference between a 17-14 regular season to a 23-8 regular season.

Won't say much more.

I'll let the experts i.e. Easterwood, Jones, or Giannotto break the news.

Hope it's true!

Boom?

Parker is a three star 6-4 SG out of Union City. Florida, among others, offered.

The irony is that perhaps Crawford pushed him out and he might consider Memphis (we also offered).

Interesting. But hope SalRivs has someone in mind with more impact than I think Stewart would have.

So he's the player to be named later in the trade for Markel Crawford?

Rivals shows a lot of quality offers.

But surely this is not the guy SalRivs was referring to.

I was thinking more of a top graduate transfer, hopefully someone who can shoot.

How could a Freshman ranked in the 200s be expected to lift our win total by 7?

Yeah, this doesn't add up.

Have no idea re SalRiv but I do trust coaches opinions at quality basketball programs. A lot of those have seen him play and, obviously, like him - I'll trust that over online ranking.

You say you don't trust the ranking, but then say you trust that all the offers the ranking service lists are valid. Seems odd to me.

Maybe we are after this Stewart guy, fine. But I doubt he is who SalRivs is referring to.

Didn't say what you claim - might want to read my post again.

I am kinda in the same boat. I'd rather see a player with offers from good basketball programs and good coaches then worry about their ranking however they usually go hand in hand. I mean when was the last time you saw a 5* without offers from high quality programs or on the flip side a 2* with a bunch of offers from high quality programs?

What I want is a shooter. Someone who can knock down open 3's even if we have to set up multiple screens ala JJ Reddick. With a coach like Tubby, he should be able to mimic what Duke did with Reddick and provide open shots for a set 3 point shooter.

Well, 6, but I know your point is the same. And, that's the first thought I had, too. Someone this late could have that big of an impact?

Hoping!

I'm thinking maybe a high-level grad transfer, but IDK who that would be.

Counter Example. This Ole Miss dude. He from the DC area. High 4* player. I could only find offers from Memphis, Ole Miss, Cincinnati, and FIU.

He blew up over the winter after he committed, was a 3 star in October on 247.

It's weird for a kid to be a borderline 5* from DC and did not have an offer from Maryland.

Seems like a "look at me" post by the OP

Oops, six, thanks for the correction.

I like the sounds of the kid, but if the OP is correct, it's probably not him. The OP made it sound like immediate impact this year. Stewart would have to sit a year.
