Gilyard - He’s become that fearless floor leader that this team has needed. As a freshman he put this team on his back last night. He is just now stepping into the role he could fill for the next 3 years.
Magee - We need a guy who can step in and facilitate. Gilyard can’t play all 40, and Magee is a heady player that can distribute well. Plus he hits the 3 at a 43% clip, which I will take all day long.
Smith - The kid has a great attitude and work ethic. Good size in the paint. Goes hard to get boards, whether off the glass or on the floor. He already looks much more fit than when he got here.
Wade - He just has all the tools in the world if he can bring his whole self to the court. He has that multiple year all-conference type potential, imo. We’ve had glimpses of his offense and ability to rebound. Also has great length to be a nightmare for whoever he is guarding at the 2 or 3.
Osborne - Because he’s not a freshman, like the other newcomers, it’s easy to forget he is only a sophomore playing his first year of cbb in the states. Love his athleticism. Can get really hot at times. Seems to also go cold on occasion, but still fairly consistent and will only get better. Would like to see a little more emotion outta him, tho.
Thomas - Perhaps he hasn’t lived up to the hype that his sophomore year generated, but he is a solid CUSA player. As a senior, he’ll bring that leadership that a young team needs. I have a feeling that PT will take another big leap and surprise us again next year. Seems to me like his confidence was shaken hard, also. As a senior, he’ll be playing against a lot of kids basically.
Touchet - A team needs a Touchet type of player. High character, hard working, loyal kind of kid. He’s your typical glue guy. The kid has it in him. Maybe he’ll feel that nothing-to-lose feeling and start letting it fly. Would be great if he can finally fill his role as that “role” player left all alone in the corner in crunch time and hits a couple game winners. One can dream, right?
