Daniels looks very to similar to TJ Holyfield with the way he plays.

I wonder if his recruitment will pick up at all, doesn't look like he has any other offers.

---

We're gonna have to add a fiddle to the basketball band if we sign Daniels.

On a scale of 1-10, I'm in the process of deciding whether that one is even worthy of earning a spot on the scale, Texan. Not your finest hour in the comedy club spotlight...

Looks like we may have some recruiting news...

Cameron Johnson. 6'3" guard from Little Rock through Tyler Junior College.

What I am seeing is 9.8 ppg, 4.0 reb/g, 1.3 assist/to ratio.

I miss the the ole "Who's Next" thing.

Awesome sauce

If he can create his own shot I'm a happy camper.

The Region XIV site says Johnson has 16.4 PPG, 52.6% FG, 19.0% 3PTFG, 73.5% FT, 4.3 RBG, 1.9 AG.

His stats are a bit strange, IMO. Averages 16 ppg but only shoots 19% from long range and only averages 2 assists. So, he's apparently not a PG and not real good from long range. So, where do his points come from? Must be a mid-range shooter and drives to the basket a lot, I'm guessing??

Looks like a 1/2 combo. My guess if you are looking at Kalcheries as your starting PG and Oddyst as a potential starting 2 , having a combo as your backup makes some sense. Especially with Comeaux likely coming back. You've got both guard spots covered.

In five of his last six games at TJC (no stats for the other game), Johnson had 17, 12, 6, 22, and 33 points.

Apparently the stats I had were from last season. Juco stats are not always accurate.

Found this article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette from Johnson's senior season at Little Rock Central HS. It's rather insightful...

Johnson: "My finishing game is stronger than my shooting. I get most of my baskets by getting to the basket and getting fouled."

His HS coach describes him as a 'slasher' who finds ways to get to the basket. "He's more of a scorer than he is a shooter. He can score in traffic over the top or through contact. He's an excellent free throw shooter. He's an excellent defensive rebounder for a guard."

Not that I've seen. Here is his video again though: https://app.krossover.com/intelligence/games/2009426/raw-film

No twitter account? I'm liking him already.

I'll say this , he certainly sounds like a "team" guy. That is something that appeared to be missing last season.

He's going to have to fight Mitch for that number.

Wonder when Solomon is visiting La Tech?

Be nice to get a legit big for a rim protector. Need another point guard for depth. What else we need?

PurpleOut said:

I think Comeaux, Kevon, Bain, Hart and Mitch would be a REALLY fun lineup. I again don't think you always necessarily need a "real" big to win this league, but that would probably be the most undersized team we've had.

---

True. I'm just hoping for some depth at all positions. We saw what it was like to lose players at the pg and forward positions. Gotta have guys that can create.

PurpleOut said:

I think adding a grad-transfer is still a great option, and there will plenty of options available. Just depends on how we feel about that now. I don't think Fitzgerald was necessarily a failure, I just think we had too high of hopes for him. If TJ would have played, I think Fitz would have played differently and had a much better/different impact.

---

. True about Fitz. We would have lost a few more games if he would have been out.

I think with TJ, Fitz would have had some great nights off the bench as a scorer.

He never seemed like a big man who wanted to play inside like TJ.

But he could get on some hot streaks that would have been a difference maker.

That lineup looks too much like 2018-2019 to me. John is a good 5th man, but not a starter, IMO. I could say the same about Nate. Kevon, Sama'Zha and Mitch will do well. I see no problems with starting them. We'll just have to see what the new guys will look like in person at guard and forward. And I think we definitely need one Big to use in certain matchup situations.

Lot of different scenarios for starters. Will come down to who works the hardest and puts in the time in the off season. Hopefully all the guys will be coachable and buys in 100%. It could be a special year.

Read that Brandon Rachal visited Tulsa this past weekend. Wonder if we have an official visit lined up for him...
