Wilson will probably play both PG and WG. Redshirt Mahaffey and Brisco. Add another wing, forward or center - best available. Josiah Harris would be fine with me. Give me a wing who can hit threes at a decent clip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Baker is ahead of Lyles or he wouldn't have redshirted. Imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo Baker better be ahead of Lyles or we are in trouble. I think he redshirted because there weren't going to be a ton of minutes behind Freeman and to a lesser degree, Hunter.

ZipsFan31 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 I think we need a shooter. Can never have enough of 3 shooters i would love a stretch 4 that would fill 2 needs. Give me another Sammy hunter and I am pumped for the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippy87 Posted April 14 Author Report Share Posted April 14 Baker/Lyles Prather Jr/MMK Okonkwo N. Johnson/Scott Wilson/T. Johnson I wish I had more belief in Lyles, because then you could go after another wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But loading up on the worst WVU team in recent memory doesn't seem all that exciting to me They were the worst team in the Big 12, but they still finished the season #144 in kenpom. For reference, Akron ended the season at #122, so they weren't that much worse than we were. They just played a vastly tougher schedule. I'm not drinking the kool-aid to think this makes us instant favorites, but in a year that the MAC looks in a disarray, it's not like we need a super team to compete. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid is 5'11" and played a lot as a freshman - 33 games, 22 minutes per game. 35.7% 3P and 79.2% FT. Looks a lot like Sullinger's replacement.
