Hells yeah.
3Pt shooting took a helluva boost today with Brea and Kerr.

This may sound silly, but I hope these guys are all good free throw shooters. That drove me crazy with Cal's teams.
If Kyrie can behave for the Mavs there is hope for any other basketball player to grow up.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank West Va for all the good players they have so generously given us over the years.
He shit talked Luka, and lead his fiba team in scoring. He's a shark!
This is what has me sold on this kid. If Coach Pope likes his game, then he must feel like he will fit into his system nicely. The shooting percentages look great!! We have enough defense around him to allow for creativity.
This roster only needs one more piece, either Robinson or an equivalent and we’re ready to roll!!!!
I said this in another thread. He turned it over a lot last year. But some of that was lack of talent around him.
Moves the needle a little. Not a star, but not a hack. I too have concerns about his reported brashness not being a good fit for our team. Hopefully it turns out to be misunderstood and ends up being something that gives us a little of the edge we have lacked for several seasons. That said, I will defer to Pope, who has been after this kid for years and obviously knows more about his true character. Could be a guy that wins a few games for us, but one that also loses a few. Good thing is with the depth we are building we can have specialists such as him. Oh, and we have done okay with WVU transfers the past few seasons (Tre was solid before he got hurt)
These commitments have the trolls out in full force and I’m here for it! Delicious tears, they are! 😋
A lot of Vescovi in his game.
My opinion doesn't mean much but this is probably the only commit I'm not happy with. Turnover prone guard that is a negative on defense. I'll watch some more stuff on him from this past year and hopefully change my tune
He seems to be a bit TO prone and oddly his rate increased as he got older. Hopefully he can improve on that next season.
Spark plug! Certainly seems to have the brash part of the game down. If he harnesses it for good and not evil, it could be a super power.
Trust the coaching staff to make him a good teammate
Dave do you know anything about this kid? What kind of roll should the fans expect from him?
Wow I didn’t expect this. He’s not bad, not exactly who I wanted though.
They had big dreams of us having to forfeit every game next year.
Better have some guys with that 'attitude' when go on the road in the SEC.
Just texted a buddy of mine who is a huge WV fan and asked about him. He said "when he's rolling he's great, when he's bad he can't dribble in a straight line." Hopefully his weaknesses is something Pope believes he can fix.
Great 3 point shooter high assists high turn overs last year
Definitely not a bad option, I was hoping for someone like Richmond. I like his play making ability. He was solid at Arizona. Just didn’t play defense great but we have defenders to help his short comings.
It’s the turnovers and playing out of control while at Arizona that concerns me. Maybe he grew out of it at WVU but I didn’t watch them last year.
Setting aside the personality concerns he is a below average defender so it’s a weird fit with the rest of the team build. I also still think there is an alarming lack of dribble penetration ability on the entire team. Couple of guys are okay at it (Butler, Oweh) but we need at least one elite guy.
He had several careless turnovers last year. They had some talent but the coach they had would make Cal look like a good coach. Forget his name the guy was interim when Huggins got fired. He was awful
We could definitely use some pizzazz out there.
I agree. That’s why I want a Kadary Richmond or someone like him so bad. Jaxson Robinson would be nice but we need someone with pro ability to break someone down off the dribble when needed.
