Last night on the radio, Dan Hoard spoke of a point guard that I think plays at one of the california teams. He said he averages 17 points and i think he said 7 assists, not sure. He was 6'1 and supposed to be a very good player. Supposedly Cincinnati is one of final 4 or 5 teams on his list. Does anybody know of this and what his name is and what school? I wanted to look it up. Thanks.

Here is a head start

Sounds like he'd be a wonderful replacement for Cane and Jenifer. He could pair up with Logan to ease him into the primary PG job the following year. It's been tough to get Logan meaningful minutes with as well as Jenifer and Cane have often played this year.

This would be a solid pickup. We are going to need immediate backcourt help for next season.

He has only played the first two games of their schedule this year. Has been out with a broken thumb and also had foot surgery.

A veteran point would be of help, and while I have the feeling Logan Johnson will show up more next year(Kind of like Williams this year) a little help will be needed.

Feagin would help a ton because he will provide some definite offensive firepower that we will need on the perimeter. Right now Johnson doesn't have any offensive game at all.

I'm looking more for steady ball carrier than offensive spark, but will welcome both. I think the wings will handle most of the scoring, Johnson hasn't settled into the college game yet, but he has the physical assets to succeed at this level. Feagin played at UC Santa Clara. Not exactly the ACC is it? Looking at his size and offensive game, I suspect it will be a lot like Broome never left.

Assuming Cumberland returns you could be right, if not we are going to need a scorer out there.

His highlights look a lot different to me than Broome. Their builds aren't all that different but Feagin looks quite a bit more physical and also much more smooth than Broome. He's much better in the lane and driving than Broome is.

Also the competition looks far superior to anything I saw Broome going up against. The players look considerably bigger and more physical. I'm not saying the West Coast conference is great or anything but going against Gonzaga, Pepperdine, BYU, St Mary's is a pretty big step up from what Broome faced at Sacred Heart. JMO of course.

I'm definitely assuming Cumberland comes back, if not... good luck to coach.

If Feagin bases his decision on the opportunity to play immediately, UC is an easy choice. I think Logan Johnson is going to be an excellent player. But any team is always just one play away from a season ending injury which would make UC completely vulnerable at the point next year.

Let's hope Feagin decides to come east.

I Could see Cumberland and KW as the starting back court. Cumberland is a very good passer and KW is good with ball, he could bring the ball up. I know this probably won't happen but it could work if the need arises.

If he comes, great. If he doesn't, no need to lose any sleep over it.

I just read where Arizona is pursuing him, so there ya go.

Grad transfers in basketball don't seem to be as effective as they are in football.

Just remember the frenzy on the AAC board over that Joe Cremo guy. Yeah he plays, but it's not like Villanova's shouting "what would we be without Joe Cremo" from the mountain tops.

IU got a grad transfer from WCC St. Mary's that everybody thought was going to be the next Jordan Hulls. Dude's pretty much a stiff.

If he picks us, great. If not, life goes on.

I'd rather not have to rely on Logan Johnson being starter ready next year, and I don't think making Cumberland responsible for the PG duties would be a great option either. So this guy seems like the best alternative at the moment.

I would expect that adding a real point guard is a big priority for the coaching staff.

Yeah a grad transfer would be perfect for next year. I know Mick isn't a fan of grad transfers and I understand why but it makes a ton of sense for next year.

I don’t see Cumberland returning next year so they are going to need an impact scorer. You would hope back to back guards going early to the NBA would help start to up recruiting a bit.

maybe if he has a big 2nd half he could shoot up the draft rankings, but I haven't seen his name anywhere or any nba-heads mentioning him.

I could see him going early - I don't think it's a sure thing, but it wouldn't surprise me. I doubt he'd be a first round pick (maybe could sneak in as a late first rounder), but I doubt he will be one next year either. I just can't see anything he can do next year to improve his draft position. Not only that, but he will be a year older next year - which will drop his stock a little.

His biggest knock is lack of athleticism and he can't really do anything to change that.

He's shown he can shoot, can dribble and can pass. I think he's played enough of a point-forward role at this point that teams who want to pick him as a point-forward will have plenty of film to evaluate.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really see any area of his game where he needs to come back next year to prove he can play at the NBA level. I think he's shown what he can do, he just has to hope a team is wiling to overlook his lack of athleticism. I don't see anything in his game where he needs to come back and show improvement. He is what he is and hopefully some NBA team will like what he is.

Being a second round pick this year would earn him quite a bit more money then being a second round pick two years from now (not to mention injury risk).

Point-forward?

Dude is a shooting guard... and he can pass a little bit.
