BBall Recruiting Thread 2k19 - Charles Coleman de-commits to Wake. :(

Not trying to cut in here, but two other PF transfers hit the market:

Andy Van Vliet from Wisconsin is a 6-11/7-0 stretch 4, agile pick and pop Euro guy but also on the skinny side
Tory Miller Stewart from Colorado is a 6-9 245 who scores from inside the 3-point line, but has a J out to the FT line

Neither is an immediate impact starter-type transfer. Miller is a grad transfer who could add depth and size at the 4, while Van Vliet is a regular transfer who could sit one year and develop into a talented stretch 4.
 
i don't want another grad transfer PF that gives manning an excuse to not develop and/or play the guys we have
 
Unless we lose Key and there is a SG as good as Arians available or a real PF who has already been good, we shouldn't bring a guy in to sit or suck.

From the write up in the Madison paper, Van Vliet already played three years, and has been at Wisc. 4. He had to sit his first year because of NCAA nonsense on not starting college within one year of graduating HS. He is a Euro/Belgian. So he looks like a grad transfer, one year player as well. Not really a guy Danny could spend a lot of time with to develop. Two years on ship for one of playing, or one for one. He lost his starting job and even rotation minutes except for his three point shooting spots this past season. A year ago, maybe. for 2018, no thank you, IMHO.

Quick research on both of those guys tells me they'll be at smaller schools... I don't think either could crack the rotation at Wake and I doubt Manning would be interested.
 
Danny really should be focusing on 2019, and what's left of 2018. He should (and hopefully will) be rated as much on his 2019 Class as his ability to win 20 games next year.

If an Arians type falls in your lap to replace Key's spot up shooting / 6th man role, then go for it, but otherwise, focus on new players.
 
Here is an excerpt on Van Vliet from a Wisky board:

It was the softness. Avoided loose balls, contact, and rebounds like the plague. Billed as a 7-footer than can shoot, but he might as well be 6-3. He doesn’t rebound, doesn’t protect the rim, can’t defend a post player. So his being 7-ft is almost irrelevant. This is not an attack on the kid as a person at all; strictly on-the-court criticism.
 
Maybe after all the transfers out we can be like Syracuse was this past year next season and only have 7 scholarship players? Plenty of PT available during all the blowout losses in ACC play.

Yup, seems like a soft-Euro type that really only adds his ability to shoot as a big.
 
Easier to coach with a small roster. Fewer combinations to screw-up.

There’s a great portion during the Wake win at Cameron Duncan’s freshman year (Childress buried the game winner over Grant Hill) where the color commentator (Dan Bonner I think) just marveled at this Duncan kid. He said stuff like “I think he’s going to be a very good player one day” and other lines that are hilarious in retrospect.

I was at that game. Unfortunately, I don't remember much about TD that night.
What I do remember is that Cameron was extremely hot (maybe 80 degrees) .....and Chill's game winning shot over Hill.

And most people in attendance thought it was for 2 to tie the game. I was watching on tv and knew it was a 3, for the lead. Several seconds passed before Duke realized they were behind with just seconds left to play. Don't recall the chaos that followed then, except we WON. .
