Moleman1 44 Report post Posted August 14, 2023 Appears to be a good get. His stats and awards from MEAC, rebounding, cans a few treys - all looks solid except maybe FTs. And he arrives as a guard when we are suddenly shorthanded there by at least 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time will tell I don’t disagree. But shooting is needed still, however his all around game seems to be better and this late in the game, can’t complain. 1000 point scorers who average 6 rebounds a game while also 2 assists and 2 steals don’t grow on trees Just hope 23 is also ok 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time will tell I absolutely agree. Tarke was one of the transfers I wanted back when we were waiting out the laundry list of players. Conway was obviously a higher-rated recruit, but the shooting seemed like his one good skill. He does do that better than Tarke, but Tarke was First-Team All-MEAC in 2021-22 and Second-Team last year. On paper he also looks like a solid scorer and plus defensive player. He also has solid size at 6'4 and pulled down nearly six rebounds a game last year. Seems like he could be a better all-around player than Conway. Unfortunately, we still really needed a knock-down shooter, which Conway was when you left him wide open. This should be a very athletic and good defensive team next year. The offense might be a little dicey. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without a proven PG, and with a pretty athletic group, I hope we get out in transition more often. Walking it up the court, running the shot clock down, and heaving up a desperate last second shot is not a formula for success 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The three point shooting will likely be down for obvious reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
