I have my concerns about him - but those are more to do with him staying than his ability to play. But get players and see how it turns out.

Wonder how we landed this kid from Texas over other schools. Seems like he'd have his choice of really good mid-majors/low majors. Great job by the staff.

According to the Journal Star, he had offers from LSU, K State, St. Johns, UCF, and Texas A&M. Seems like if he wanted to go play with the big boys, he already had that chance, though I get money might have been a factor. |

I think it's great, but I'm always cautious as it relates to considering "other offers". Remember, Ethan Kizer once had an offer from Bradley, but ended up at South Alabama. |

The 24x7 recruiting website has a timeline with those offers were mostly from 2021 and 2022. He seems to have more of the profile of a spring recruit and not a fall commit. |

Montana Wheeler was mentioned here in the Recruiting Thread back on May 20th - the coaches had just completed some scouting on players from Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma - and identified some targets with Wheeler being one of them. Wardle has quite the track record with diminutive guards. Hopefully that success continues. |

I always loved Bradley getting small guards because it seems like we have a higher hit rate on them. Probably because the bigger schools ignore them unless they are REALLY good. I am a little puzzled with two years in a row taking small guards. But, I suppose best man wins out in a year or two. Then the other is a 6th or 7th man.Itis kind of hard to have a long term plan when transferring is so prevalent though.
Would really like to get a Center or PF in the early signing period. I know we have big bodies and the new Juco for next year. But, we lose a bunch of big men even if they aren't great.

No different than Ruffin Franklin and Bennett could. |

I don't mind the year over year PG, with the portal possibly in play and then of course injuries. I agree on the PF and center. That still leaves us with like 3 rides left to fill.

No different than Ruffin Franklin and Bennett could. I don't agree. I think they are smaller, too small to play together for more than a couple minutes a game. |

BW is more into D then Les was. I'd bet they will not see the floor too much together for at least the first few seasons.

I honestly don't understand Wardle's affinity for tiny point guards. Just once, I would love to see a 6'3 point guard run his stuff.
Thing is though, I still haven't figured out what his offense actually is.

Thing is though, I still haven't figured out what his offense actually is. In fairness - I don't know the last 6-3 PG that ran a team in the MVC. The best teams in recent MVC history were run by a 5-11, not physically imposing Fred VanVleet. (And before the responses coming - those Shocker teams wipe the floor with the Loyola Final Four team) |
