Are we really comparing the stats of someone who has now played 3 more years since the stat line you gave? Tyger is without a doubt one of the best pure 1's, not just in the portal (well not yet), but in college basketball. One of our biggest problems this year was a lack of ability to start and run the offense because we didn't have someone capable of doing it.Is he? Let's look at Fr stats:
Tyger - 30 mpg, 8.3 ppg, 5.0 apg, 2.4 rpg, 0.8 spg, 35.8% FG, 26.7% 3pt, 67.4% FT
Boswell - 15 mpg, 4.6 ppg, 1.6 apg, 1.6 rpg, 0.7 spg, 45% FG, 39% 3pt, 79% FT
Now granted Tyger improved his shooting a fair amount to where he's up to 40% FG, 33% 3pt, 79% FT for his career, but that's also my point with Boswell. Do we not expect Boswell to improve over time? His shooting as a Fr is much better than Campbell's, he's also physically bigger. To me it is clear Boswell has the higher ceiling.
If you doubled Boswell's minutes per game to match the PT Campbell got as a Fr, and just assumed Boswell's stats would double, Boswell would be better in every category except assists. One thing we know for sure, Campbell will be of 0 help in the 2024-25, or 25-26 seasons. Maybe Boswell would be in the NBA by then, but I still think the better choice is the guy that gives you more years. Especially considering we don't appear to have any big time PGs we're in good with in the 2024 class. Probably because we didn't think we'd need one. But that is just one more reason why a transfer with 3 years eligibility is better than one with 1.
Sure, boswell would be better for years ahead, but as we know rosters look very different for every team, every year. We may be lucky enough to have Coleman and TSJ for one more year, add in a pure PG like Tyger who is proven to be able to run an offense and our team immediately becomes much better than our team this year.
