And he signed with Georgetown.

Figured he would.

As I stated on the Aggie board, I think Jans should go the grad transfer route and just find enough talent to help our team nucleus, Harris, Ndir, and Chuha; a one year quick fix. Then focus on the 2018 class to land our next generation of star Aggie players.

The lose of Dickerson to Georgetown is a bummer but their are other D1 transfers pickups who could make an impact this coming season.

Surprised you don't list Jemerrio as a nucleus guy. Is it just because next season is his last and the other 3 will be around longer? Of the players believed to be returning at this point, I think J. Jones has the highest ceiling.

Sidy Ndir probably has the highest ceiling of the remaining Aggies; that's if LJ Figueroa doesn't stay. The reason I don't list Jemerrio is because he is a glue guy. He is gets his points outside our set offense. But that was last year. Jans might very well run plays to get Jemerrio points. Another player who could benefit from the coaching change is Jalyn Pennie. As a sophomore Pennie averaged 6.4 ppg and 4.1 rebounds as a part time starter under Menzies. He was on track to being a starter and a double figure scorer before last year's coaching change. If Pennie feels he still has something to prove, Aggie fans could see his numbers jump up considerably in his Senior season. He is a very good athlete and actually fairly skilled. He just lost confidence being shoved to the end of Weir's bench most of last season. Although Pennie will need to get mentally tougher if he wants to impress Jans.

There are some players who can generate their own offense with the structure of a offense...Ndir, Chuha, Harris, Jemerrio Jones. And, then there are other players who need set plays to give them open looks to score. Wilkins and Pennie need specific plays designed for them to score consistently. I think Wilkins and Pennie's scoring can go up with Coach Jans help.

Agree about Pennie. Vehemently disagree about Wilkins. He has been a starter most of his career and at this point "he is who he is". He will never be a rebounder. He will never play sufficient defense. He did increase his blocks this year but 29 blocks for a man is size is a joke (Taylor and Jones had 21 and 25 respectively). He did develop a 3-point shot but 11 made threes is not setting the world on fire.

The problem is, Jonathan Wilkins isn't a 5. That is why he has struggled. If he played his natural position, I think you will see a big difference. You can't make someone something that they aren't just because they are 6'10.

I think GCU and Bakersfield fans are disappointed that even with a new coach, we are still recruiting at a high level.

No we just think that you are completely over-hyping a player that may be a role player at best.

Didn't struggle at all in the biggest games of his career all on the road in packed stadiums in the NIT. Silenced them all.

He can get rattled. 33% from the field, 25% from behind the arc, and 0-4 from the charity stripe, in one of the best crowd environments in the NCAA.

The NIT games were bigger and more important. He just had an off night. It happens to everyone.

It was easy to silence them when most of the places were half to two thirds full. Packed stadiums they were not.

Check the tape again then. They were definitely all more than half full especially UTA. That place was sold out and loud. They were undefeated at home until we beat them.

Place was sold out. Can't find any actual game footage though unfortunately. Just skip ahead to the highlights.

Bakersfields 1A player is awesome, our Texas 4A MVP recruited by tons of schools is overrated and Aggie fans shouldn't get excited, got it. Also, any player that plays in front of GCUs crowd turns to mush

I'm not saying every player does, but Durham did in that game.

That's cause he played a 4ot game in his mind the night before...

Get new material.

I also seem to recall Ian Baker and Dewayne Russel sucking immensely when they came to Bakersfield.

Russell 1-12 and Baker 4-20. Maybe they struggle against hostile crowds as well. Hmmm makes you think (big if true).

You would be correct that DeWayne went 1-12 in that game, but he was 8-10 from the line rather than a big ole goose egg. Also, everyone as a whole struggled that night, both teams were under 30% in the game.
