Good size, but not a great athlete though. Not sure he's quick enough for a D1 wing. Looks like he needed a year in the weight room and then could play both forward spots. Not a great three-point shooter (31%). Not sure how he gets his shot off at the next level. Now the Guillory kid is a ridiculous athlete, but irrelevant as a 3-point shooter (5 of 35). The better options are dwindling. I know watching 2-3 minute highlight packages don't show everything, but you get a glimpse of what type of player we may be looking at.

Let's update this with those wing targets who are available that we might be interested in (following on Twitter, or are listed in Transfer Portal sites). Blakney was supposed to commit soon. Not including point guards or post players or D2/Juco: Nendah Tarke (Coppin State) 6-4, 205 Austin Williams (FIU/Hartford), 6-4, 200 Kam Woods (NC A&T), 6-2, 185 (point guard who shoots a lot, not likely interested) Jovan Stulic (Arkansas Little Rock) – 6-6, 215 – played four games in 2022-23. 7.8 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 51.4% (76-148) FG, 43.8% (42-96) 3pt FG in 2021-22 Stephon Payne III (Incarnate Word) – 6-9, 210 – 6.0 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 1.3 blpg, 1.0 spg, 49.3% (68-138) FG (Jacksonville commit) Dee Barnes (Southern Utah) – 6-4, 193 – 6.1 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 50% (82-164) FG, 43.8% (39-89) 3pt FG Marko Maletic (Long Island) – 6-6, 208 – 15.9 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 43.2% (136-315) FG, 38.8% (69-138) 3pt FG 23-48 (Asst-TO) Marcus Watson (NC A&T) – 6-6, 235 – 14.2 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 41.5% (165-398), 28.4% (44-155) 3pt FG, 60-100 (Asst-TO) R.J.

So if a new coach comes in, he shouldn’t ask for more money because he hadn’t won anything? I don’t have factual evidence about what’s going on in the new collective, but while we may never be Charleston in terms of the amount, I think there is potential to have a little something in the near future from what I’ve heard.

I don’t think a President should have any influence or at least the final say on selecting, extending or firing any coach. That’s why you hire Steve, though he won’t be the new president’s hire. It will be important for him to cultivate a relationship so he can be left alone in making those decisions. Most presidents understand that there’s more to a revenue coach being successful other than graduating players. Why was Ambrose fired? Aside from mediocre results as of late, the attendance was not good. The energy for the program from the fanbase had slipped.

In three years and if Sherry is not here, the new coach is going to ask for the same thing. We need more NIL money to keep up with the Joneses.When you lose out on recruits and transfers due to NIL, what else would you do? Every coach asks for more money from donors, going well before NIL. I don’t think he’s mentioned it on the record much, if at all because it’s not really part of the athletic department.
