2022 Transfer Thread

Don't you think we have improved as a program to not be looking as much at players that aren't getting playing time? I do. I would assume we are looking at difference makers at their current school that are looking to make a change for other reasons like coaching, geography, upgrade to competition or team chemistry. No offense to Kerwin Walton but if he's not playing at UNC what makes you think he's find playing time here?

He had great stats in year 1. Maybe the coaching change played a role/got recruited over.

I think we are at the point where we need to get someone whose proven.

Definitely lost time in the rotation and don't pay enough attention to NC to know what happened. Started 20 games as a Frosh, 1 this year, minutes from 21 per game to 13.7. Even per 40 numbers off this year -- 15.6 ppg to 10.3, and 3.5 assists to 1.3

Davis tried to warn Walton before the season began that he'd be treated differently this season.

"I told Kerwin that last year, he wasn't on anybody's scouting report so he was getting wide open, spot up 3s anytime that he wanted to," Davis said. "Towards the latter part of the season, teams started playing a little bit differently. But going into the season this year, I told him rarely will he ever be left open."

Kind of feels like he got buried on the bench to me (if he's playing 13 minutes a game, he isn't really on the top of the scouting report, whatever Davis says above)

and that Davis isn't a good enough coach - or not willing to change his actions - to find Kerwin open looks.

Maybe a little of both.

agree, probably a bit of both, but we've also seen times when shooters are underappreciated by teams/coaches. I'd prefer a more established scorer, but there's no doubt Walton has talent, and Mac would know about as good as anyone how to get the best from him on the court.

Maybe Bryce McGowens will be interested now that he is leaving UNL.

AO was languishing on the bench and he was great for us. Sometimes style and fit matters.

I wouldn’t exclude a guy just because they aren’t getting minutes elsewhere if they have the right attitude and can play the way we want them to play.

Lauren Jensen is another example.

You beat me to it. I was going to say “Don’t tell that to Lauren Jensen.”
