Any background on why the #60 recruit in his class signed with Samford and wound up at Chicago State?
Speaking of sandwiches I'm still sad Crane Alley closed. I miss that Reuben so badly.
Didn't he follow a family member?

FedEx pledges $25M to NIL program at Memphis
FedEx has pledged $25 million over the next five years to be used in sponsorship deals with University of Memphis athletes.
Was wondering the same. David Jones was floated here yesterday, and Cardet seems like he'd be in the same vein but maybe a step down? But that's only an initial look - hoping for someone more in the know that can fill in the blanks.

He went to Samford first.
....It definitely helped that my uncle (Gerald Gillion) is there as an assistant coach. I know that he’ll really take care of me and make sure my game continues to grow. A lot of people are probably a little shocked that I ended up picking Samford over the other schools on my list like Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, Kansas State, USC, Miami and others. For me, it’s all about the fit and the opportunity. What the NCAA tournament showed everybody was that the mid major schools have really caught up with the Power 5 schools....

Cardet chose Samford over multiple offers from Power 5 schools.

Only difference is Jones isn't yet in the portal.
I'd be concerned about him putting up a lot of points against a lot of bad teams (+Northwestern) and his production falling off against good competition.
IMO if we get to choose I'd rather have Jones.
I'm not super excited about Cardet. His above average offensive metrics are negated by his below average defensive metrics.
He brings some size and scoring, at least.
Cardet seems like another "high ceiling" guy. If we got him and considering we have Booth, Boswell, and White (all "high ceiling" guys), if 2 of the 4 panned out we could be really good. I'm alright with that approach as long as they don't bring Skyy Clark level baggage.
Yes, please!

Tre White's shot chart looks like the left, Wesley Cardet's shot chart looks like the right.
You get to the top of the offensive efficiency metrics with a shot chart like the right.

Yes … His uncle was an assistant at Samford and then got the HC job at Chicago State …
He left Chicago State for AHC job at LIU this off season …
We have nice mix
Tre and Kylan from NCAA perennials USC and AZ, will be JR
Carey from ND - ACC , will be Soph
Davis from mid major - Mercer will be Soph
Hopefully they will stay till graduation. Tre worries me since he has already transferred twice. Kylan seems most mature. Bided his time at AZ and had good reason to transfer.
How involved are we going to be here? I hope a lot.Desmond Claude, Xavier Musketeers, Point Guard

Desmond or Boogie...? I'd rather have?
Totally missed this so sorry for repeating …
But I’ve heard it’s all about $$$ this time around for Cardet …
