USC's Yates Enters Portal Officially

What are your ideal stats for an incoming transfer?
9ft tall, 500 lbs. 1.000 shooting percentage, zero blocks and defensive rebounds because he steals it every time.

In all seriousness, what I meant was I would like to see more well rounded stats. I’d like to see some rebounds, assists, steals, and a free throw rate that tells me he will aggressively attack the basket. Blocks are a bonus. I want the stats to show me we aren’t looking at a one dimensional player. I will sacrifice some three point shooting percentage points for that.

So people keep saying he might go to Washington because of his Dad, but no one seems to know how his Dad is connected to Washington? Makes sense
It’s about his dad wanting him to support his cousin….his cousin is an assistant coach with him at USC. Rumor that Washington is hiring the cousin to get him to sign with them.

Now this would actually be a great pickup. We desperately need shooting for next year. I refuse to get my hopes up though. We’ve missed on every high level guy we’ve went after for one reason or another.

He started his career with Washington, got hurt and didn't play. Then transferred to USC.
Now he's going to transfer back? Seems strange but nothing surprises me anymore.

I'm not believing that. Pondexter still has a coaching job at USC. He is a former NBA player, so I'm assuming he doesn't need the money, and besides that why would he go back to a job where the coaching staff put on the unemployment line last year. The only reason they want you is because your cousin is a good basketball player.

Basically if his cousin leaves USC to take the UW job that’s where he’s going. If not UK has a real shot

I wouldn’t get my hopes up on this one but who knows

I personally think Bidunga is a difference maker at the 5 and no idea why we don’t pursue him.
Yeah I’d be a big fan of that pickup….or at minimum a Dioubate at the 4.

Also ready to hear something solid on the Robert morris big
