I get being upset but this is a combo-guard that would frankly struggle hard to play PG as a freshmen in the TEN...Get a grad transfer and you are fine.

I simply disagree with Xavier struggling right away. Glynn came in and played well in the B1G and somehow now he has regressed a bit.

 

Anyway, a grad transfer would definitely benefit us. Miles would probably have found a way to put a leash on Xavier and not let him loose. In my opinion, freshman should be let loose to make plays rather than pulling them for one defensive error or a simple mistake. That way as a young player they learn to adjust in-game rather than playing scared that if they make a mistake they might get pulled-Roby his freshman year. 

 

We are fine with Glynn but man I think Xavier could have been a stud here.

Watson was a top 100 recruit...Shoot maybe top 75...X is hardly top 250.  Huge difference in his game and handles.

UConn lands their PG... wonder if this helps us

 

They also got Tarin Smith as well, looks like UConn won't get him unless they want 3 pgs incoming this year.

 

I know Smith is a transfer but he is still coming in as a newbie so he will only have a year of eligibility remaining.
