The more I think about it, the risk of losing Epps (via transfer) due to lack of tick is simply not worth it. I'm rolling the bones on Skyy and Epps, rather than bringing in an experienced transfer PG.
I would bring in a veteran PG who knows he is 3rd string.
Guys enter the transfer portal looking for a bigger opportunity - it would be nearly impossible to find a veteran that is fully willing to play third fiddle to 2 freshmen
Hypothetically, I agree. But it probably doesn't matter in the end. This staff has proven the ability to find talent. Even in the worst case scenario where Skyy is one and done, Epps is unhappy and transfers out, and ZZ doesn't reclass...I would be confident the staff can find a good PG in the portal or a talented prep.
Good luck finding one
Best bet might be a grad transfer looking for a grad degree in a discipline where we are highly ranked.

If comes in as a 'third string guy'...... He's probably a third string quality guy
I was at that triple header! Great Illinois game.
ESPN has Hawkins and Shannon going in the second round of next years draft. Depending on how things play out we might have as many future NBA guys on next years team as the 2005 team.
I will go ahead and say it, Shannon is a 1st rd pick next year in draft and that is a guarantee. Unfortunately we only get 1 year of TJS, but great on coaching staff for credit in developing a wing into the 1st rd of the draft.
So his growth plates are still open?
I suspect Brad is well aware of that so that's why we have not found a good "fit" of guard till now. However, when hight talent players withdraw from NBA draft, it might be a different story.

Very doubtful. Who's going to want to come in and be a backup?
Nah man, his hair is just higher.

Others might know but he didn’t have a healthy season and they did have a coaching change before last season. Maybe his junior year wasn’t as fun, productive and successful as earlier years. Causing him to look for other options for his 4th year.
He had a breakout Soph year, tested the NBA waters and lost his coach but ultimately decided to go back to Tech.
His game actually took a step back last year (or stagnated, whichever) and my guess is he sees what Ayo is doing in the NBA and wants to see what BU can do for him in one year.
I am sure TSJ’s goal is 1 year here and NBA. Otherwise then, yeah, why did he leave.
Apparently about 50% of the posters on here, unfortunately. (You can guess which half I identify with).BU’s next DMW; likely counting on him to continue the culture. Prolly gonna be with us for 4 years. Think he’ll be a favorite of fans before he leaves. Not because he breaks any records, but because he’s gonna be…the next glue guy
Who doesn’t love a glue guy
