Welcome Bobby Pettiford Jr

[ousdahl]

Hopefully a good get!



and man, have we ever had a roster shakeup as quick as this?

2 transfers and a new commit in 48 hours, and it’s not even April yet

[InfiniteJ]

There's some rumors going around that Creighton wasn't all that disappointed when TyTy decommitted.

[hasbeen]

I'd prefer more burger boys but athleticism and quickness at the PG spot is critical for next season. Too many mid-6 footers terrified to dribble, more of this type of guy.

Harris is gonna play, a lot.

The more ball handlers the better.

[TDub]

Apparently pettiford, tyty and Aidoo are all friends. Not that that means anything at all but that sure would be a pretty nice class

[Mjl]

Not just play, but start, right? He's a higher rated recruit and has two years in the program.

[sdoyel]

We are getting Aidoo aren’t we?

Youre right. But, i can have hope.

[pdub]

BobbyP and Aidoo would be good fits in terms of where we need help.

People are saying BPJr has quickness and athleticism (and can dunk).
No doubt qualities I like in a Guard but does anyone know if he can he shoot, pass, defend?

[pdub]

He says he can shoot:

"“That part has been crazy and has shocked a lot of coaches," said Pettiford. "I was known as a downhill guard who can facilitate, kind of pass first sort of. But, now my three-point percentage has gone from 29% to 40% this last year. I worked on that so much because I knew I was going to need it. I’ve gotten stronger and my knowledge for the game, how to use the pick and roll has gotten better. My shooting, that’s been the craziest thing.”"

Only if we miss on TyTy or another player leaves.

There's some rumors going around that Creighton wasn't all that disappointed when TyTy decommitted.

How much is that like KU fans saying "we didn't want him anyway" whenever a recruit signs somewhere else?

And how much of it is personal to InfiniteJ? He seems to really not like TyTy, for whatever reason.

[NDballer13]

Must be the double first name.

[ousdahl]

Are any of these dudes ready to contribute right away?

[CrimsonNBlue]

Are any of these dudes ready to contribute right away?

TyTy and McKissic would. Curry will compete for backup 5 minutes. No on the rest of the recruits.

Weren't you the one who said the idiom about a bird in the hand being worth two in the bush?

Doesn't this feel like we're trading one bird in the hand for one in the bush?

I mean, another idiom, is Self just falling for the grass always being greener on the other side.

I thought only fans thought every recruit was a HR and always better than the guys currently on the roster?

You and I are flipped on Curry and Clemence.

[pdub]

McKissic on Self,
"“He told me that, he wasn’t really happy with the loss to USC (in NCAA Tournament). He is trying trying to get back to having athleticism and speed, those two combo guard backcourts, like a Frank Mason and Devonté Graham backcourt."
