Good question, but remember:
- Ge'Lawn Guyn averaged 3.1 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 3 years at Cincy. It was 18.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists for the Bucs.
- Deuce Bello averaged less than 3 points and 1.5 rebounds in 3 years at Baylor and Missouri. It was 9.2 points and 3.4 rebounds for ETSU.
- Tevin Glass averaged 2.1 points and 1.1 rebounds at Wichita State. It was 8.9 points and 6.3 rebounds at ETSU.
- Most recently Lucas N'Guessan averaged 1.9 points and 1.8 rebounds in 2 years at Oklahoma State, and 7.8 points and 4.8 rebounds at ETSU, including over 10 points and 7 rebounds in last year's big stretch run.
If Steve Forbes finds a talented guy that he believes in, he usually finds a way to help that guy be successful!
I'm getting excited about the talent that's coming. Forbes sure can find them. And he sure can mold them into a team.
We just lost 5 guys (Jeromy, Tray Boyd, Pun Tisdale, Lucas and Joe Hugley) that would make a conference winning starting 5 in most leagues. And Steve Forbes may be bringing in enough talent (including Damari, and Ledarrius) to be fighting for the top again!
