Shakwon Barrett new PG

[Hawg Red]

Has 2 more. One will be UNLV and the other looks like probably Memphis. Both with can offer more immediate PT assuming Barford and Macon are back

Hopefully the Hogs providing a better stage will win out in the end. Tough to turn down immediate playing time, though. Need to balance that with best situation, I'd think. Still holding out hope for him. If he passes, I'd like to see Crawford or Armus, then Barrett.

I like Barrett more than Armus. But I am surprised we haven't given harder looks after a big guy. The coaches are clearly content with Thomas and Cook stealing mins if Gafford or Thompson have foul trouble

I would probably rank them in order Crawford, Hardy and Barrett for me.

However, I do understand the push for a PG To spent a year on campus prior to the 2018 class arriving to help smooth that transition. I just think Crawford could help maximize next years teams potential.

I'm thinking about the next year with Armus. Losing Trey, DT and Cook, we'll need a big ready to go. He'd get a year to get adjusted. Position scarcity with big men also. We can find a guard more easily. I don't even think the coaches are recruiting Mladen at this point, and I'm probably his biggest fan on the board, but I feel like they have a good, skilled, developing big man in their backyard and an upcoming need at that position.

Definitely agreed on Crawford maximizing this year's roster, but I think Hardy is too good to pass up between the two.

Sounds like a good fit.

[The Hogfather]

Reminds me of Fred Gulley.

If he's truly a PG at 6-4 and can fill it up from 25', sounds like  good 'un.

Looks more like SG than PG. None of his highlights shows anything of running an offense.

[Hawg Red]

Looks a little street-ballish from the video, but maybe that's just because that's how the videos can be. Does appear to have a nice wingspan.

He was setting his teammates up for some easy baskets. I also like that he finishes well around the basket.

So where did he play last season? I don't see him on the roster at the prep school that he went to in Canada. http://www.gobears.ca/rosters

Interesting, thanks!

I just really wanted Hardy, but he appears unlikely.

I did also and I agree.  He is going somewhere else.

It is late in the late recruiting season so now do we go after the best available player or the best available PG?  HUMMMMMM

I agree with adding a PF this year.  I think we need more big men on our roster and since we usually can not sign a highly rated PF/C who is ready to play his freshman year we need to add them and grow them into a player.  this is the reason I would love to have 5 guys on the roster who can play either the 4 or 5 spot at all times on the roster.  I am talking about the 6'7+ ,240+ types who are physical and athletic.    It is good for our team's practices also to add these players with physicality to the team.

Perfect timing as always...

Curious, should we just consider it schtick at this point?
