'14 NV SG Namon Wright ('16 TNFR to COLORADO)

[Buffnik]

This is really apples to oranges in effect, but it takes a little sting out of yesterday's Patrick Carr news. Welcome, Buffalo!

I think this is bigger news than Carr by a long shot in terms of relative impact to the two programs. On balance, this is a good news day.

With a hat tip to Ryan & Shapiro...

This is a great Namon the roster. It's the Wright fit for Tad's system.

Go Buffs!

Sometimes I miss negrep.

 

[Jello Bear]

Fantastic news.

 

[Duff Man]

Nice!

 

[Buffenuf]

Nice!

Please indicate that your comment relates to Wright's joining the Buffs and NOT nik's horrible pun.
Very nice pick up. He obviously focused on improving his boarding. Maybe he can give King a few pointers on that.
Curious though, how does one move from being recruited by everyone in the Pac and on the Coast, to signing with the dumpster fire that is Mizzou BB?

That dumpster fire of a program signed three 4 stars in 2013 and 2014, including Wright.

Great news.

 

[BuffHerd]

Awsome news

Kinda like when DH signed two five star players and a bunch of four stars?

Mizzou finished dead last in a weak SEC and has had 8 players transfer out over the last couple of years, self-restricted themselves from post-season and are likely to be restricted by the NCAA from more post-season play due to horrible BB academics ratings....I'd call that a "double-dumpster fire" of a program!

Tis a duel

You say that like he somehow should have seen it coming from the outside as a recruit and that he made a terrible personal choice. His senior year they finished .500 in conference play.

Kid shouldn't have to sit to transfer from that. But sitting a year actually helps us and probably him.

Gee, choose between stable, upcoming and solid programs in the Pac or elsewhere on the Coast....or a smoldering DF (ever since Anderson left) program, who hurriedly hired a coach with a significantly checkered background.....Hmmm.....what to do, what to do....?

Yep - you are right. His decision making is broken. ...Wait a sec...

Welcome to the Herd, Namon!!!! Huge get for Tad!!!!

A wing that can shoot, slash and rebound is exactly what we needed in 2017. Namon has a year to work on his game. I bet he's going to be pretty good when we see him on the court. Roll Tad!!!

 

[absinthe]

I really wish Tad would sign more transfers

 

[Darth Snow]

I really wish Tad would sign more transfers

he just doesn't value them.
