Two years at FL. Two at Samford. Junior year at Samford averaged almost 20. Around 15 last year. Assist numbers don't jump off the page at me.
Committed his covid year at BYU and word is he is going to re enter the portal.

Comments on Twitter that BYU did not come through with its NIL promises.

Please don’t tease me cause my O&B heart can’t take it anymore.

He’s an uncommitted player as of right now but we’ve got a lot of interest … 3 teams that he’s really considering …

Enough interest that Brad made some International calls … 😎

The reason he left BYU was they didn’t sniff what they told him he’d get NIL wise … I mean just lied to the kid …

He fits a major need … And we’ve got starting minutes up for grabs …

Looks like what we didn't have last season.
I don't know. Looks a little like Epps to me though a better passer.

I guess you can't say no to more depth but it doesn't seem like he would really move the needle a ton imo.

Definitely was a scorer in the southern but I would question how he does at the power level due his size. Improved as shooter but it was as a low volume shooter which might mean he's more in line with his career 30ish percent this year though he is a good free throw shooter.

He struggled at Florida and then didn't play much high major competition in the Southern. In 21 he played well against Oregon State(3-28) and Ole Miss(13-19 and 4-14 in conf) but both were bad. Last year he was playing ok against a bad DePaul team before getting injured and played well against Furman who beat Virginia.

Like i said earlier more depth is great but is he worth possibly upsetting some of the younger guards you're trying to keep around like DGL, Harris, and Nico?

yeah, our due diligence needs to be spot on here. one would hope that he'd have to move the needle enough (whatever that is), to heavily pursue.

Jayden Epps that passes?

Is he immediately eligible?

Burner Ball wrote a post laying out Illinois, Indiana and Kansas State as potential destinations for Ques Glover.

Watched some film, I like his game. Worth noting he recently followed a K-State assistant coach and K-State video/analytics director on Instagram, so I’m guessing they’ve been in contact.

Hard pass for me on Glover. Nothing in that highlight video really impressed me. We're talking about very weak competition there. He doesn't really have any games against top competition. He's not a big assist guy. He's short.

Indy saying starting minutes up for grabs. Is that saying we've got few locks, or that we don't have capable starters?

These guys showed up early. Practicing, hopefully gelling. Time to lock in the lineup. Sure, I'd take a rock solid starter. But Glover doesn't look to change this year's team much for the better, and if it screws up chemistry, it could be for the worse.

I'm not even sure why BU is looking. Kinda disappointing to me.

Maybe Brad's trying to channel Herb Brooks by talking about bringing in a talented player late to light a fire under his guys for a Miracle on Ice run?

Honestly though, I think looking into him is fine, but you better be damn sure of what you're doing if you're deeply considering pulling the trigger. Because if we do it and then lose Ty or Sencire at season's end, I'll be fairly crushed.

Did two 5* brothers just commit to Chicago State?

Well I see people saying they're 5 star players, but I can't find them listed as 5 stars anywhere, except a rivals article from 2021 saying one would be 5 star the other 4. So my best guess is in 2021 as Sophs, they were projected to be 5 stars for the 2023 class. But it seems once they went to OTE, either they were left off of top 100 lists, or weren't good enough to make the lists.
