2015 JuCo G Malik Albert (Commit)

[Bluejay Bilas]

Michigan guy. Murphy has already landed more guys than Sellers.

To be fair, Sellers landed Mo Watson, who was great at BU and figures to be one of our best couple of players the next two years. Conversely, Albert's a relative unknown who didn't play organized ball last year. I'm enthused about Coach Murphy, and trust the staff's decision to take Albert. Just don't know how much this adds to a Sellers v. Murphy debate.

Wow. So many questions.

Who is this guy?
Why can I only find recent footage of him in a grade school gym?
Is he a point or off guard?
Where is the scholarship coming from?
If it's GG's, does that mean he's paying his own way to play? Or is he not playing? The latter would suck.
Will this mean a player we thought would be in the rotation will now be redshirting? Thomas? Stewart?
Do I owe "shadow" an apology for mocking this thread and his credibility?

I was not expecting any more roster additions. Wow.

Yes

From what I heard Geoff will be able to get an academic scholarship and stay on the team as a walk on. Looks as though we will have 3 consecutive years starting a different walk on

Does anyone have more info to share on what type of guard Malik will be for us? A shooter? Slasher? Combo guard? I don't want to speculate but can't help feeling this addition will take already-sparse playing time away from the group of [zierden, khyri, marlon, even ronnie?]. Does this mean the coaches don't believe IZ is ready for a heavy load of minutes yet?

I trust our coaching staff above all else, at this point im just a little skeptical as to how big a contributor this guy will be for us next year

[Eye of the Jay]

Well I'm guessing Marlon will be redshirting. It's always good to have a plethora of guards so that we can go small and have plenty of depth. I remember last year feeling desperate with only 3 reliable guards when IZ went down. Clement was serviceable but when James Austin or Devin had an off night was very anxious praying that someone could jumpstart the stagnant offense. Glad to see this signing

Watching a couple short videos and looking at his juco stats he appears to be more of a slasher. Looks fairly long...but pretty skinny. Assist to turnover ratio was solid. I'd guess he will be counted on to backup Mo this year. I read he led the nation in scoring at one point last year.

What you read was incorrect. He did not play last year.

Grosselle is paying his own way, not on an academic scholarship.

I think I owe shadow an apology.

What's probably lost in this signing is that we now only have one scholarship to fill for 2016-17.
