Just a thought….why not hire our 3rd and high profile recruiting assistant and improve our likelihood of landing the types of kids that will get us a F4? Or am I missing something?
This dude ended Bradley's NIT run, with a last second corner dagger at PCC last week.
Not surprised he lead the nation. Great shooter.

It's also the same league/team that Tomi played for and his numbers are better than Tomi's were.

Ugh! In my mind we were still 15 down when that happened. Now I’m mad again about the momentum that crushed!
Martinelli has publicly stated that, if he doesn't stay in the Draft, he will be returning to Northwestern. (But I guess the young man could always change his mind.) You could certainly be right on Watkins. It seems like we on this Board "recruit" him every year. And I think that one of our insiders mentioned Watkins a while back.
Lee too! We're gonna need someone to direct the scUM bus into illinois potholes and break the suspension, lose a wheel, crash and miss the tip next year...with nobody hurt of course
Morez Johnson getting recruited over, lmao. He either only cares about money and not ball or totally played himself.
Kinda like have the arrangement annulled? Or has someone slept with dusty?
They weren't though. Tomi shot 42% from 3 and 57% overall. Mirkovic shot 27% from 3 and 38% overall. Those are worse numbers.
Big fan of Watkins. Big bodied wing with scoring ability, would thrive here IMO. Don't know if we're on him though.
I get that, but he went straight from Big Ten to dominating that league. Dominating. MVP level numbers.
Expecting someone who plays off the bench there to come here to do better in the Big Ten than he does over there is asking a lot. Tomi's shooting percentage went down in the transition from ABA ro NCAA, not up.
Edit to add: I'm ok with him as a multi year proposition but if we're bringing this guy on as a major contributor in year 1, I'd be a little worried

I like this guy's numbers. I like that he's athletic. I like that he's experienced. I like that he's a tough kid from Brooklyn. But he IS 5'10" tall. But how many of us will be frustrated when this player gets abused on switches in the pick and roll? And would he be willing to "only" be the backup at PG to Kylan Boswell? (Can't really play them together in my opinion.) And how much money should we be willing to pay for a backup PG/insurance policy?

he might be a little undersized but guy can SHOOT and from NY (antigua). he is alfonso plummer.
I mean, you're playing East Carolina and Tulane.
But May isn't stupid. Looks like he's trying to build out a roster that athletically looks like most of the elite 8 teams this year.
I think he got benched because he was 3-17 and they were coming back and he kept bricking. Not sure it had anything to do with not being coachable.

Yup as I said I'm not sold on him as an instant impact guy either
I'm not sure what the difference is between the two leagues he played in, but it was with the same team so I'd venture to guess these leagues are similar as most of his stats were roughly equal aside from the 3pt shooting
He shot 27.3% on 88 attempts in one leage and shot 43% on 90 attempts in the other league (both leagues are 24-25 season). Neither are huge sample sizes but I'd guess his true shooting ability is somewhere between those two numbers.
