2019 Admon Gilder Grad Transfer Committed

Texas Tech is hot right now. Their Coach took full advantage of the spotlight, and earned a ton of interest from players and programs alike. He is quite the salesman-y Coach.
Will be tough to sway him from there, plus his home state. Gotta wonder if the Zags facing his old team hurts us instead of helps us?
Tech loses Mooney, Culver, Owens, Odiase, and Francis (all 5 were instrumental in beating Zags). Mooney and Francis were 2 of their top 3 guards, Moretti their only guard left on the team.

And if he goes to tech— barring someone new becoming a grad transfer and cam Mack, hazzard, Ingram, and others already committing, looks like we are looking at a geno type talent or worse leading our squad next year.
That's probably why I didn't mind so much Abe Hazzard signing with Arizona. Like so many here, I trust the staff, fully knowing that not every player that comes here will play starring roles.

Geno was valiant. But mostly a miss. He was supposed to spell Josh but never demonstrated pg ability. He was a one hit wonder, the game vs GU.
Originally posted by TexasZagFan View PostIIRC, the discussion of Geno's abilities were based upon the one game he played against us. I don't recall any discussion about how he'd perform against the higher caliber of teams the GU plays against, as opposed to North Dakota's opponents. His injury complicated his period of transition IMO, though he upped his play as the season progressed.

Just my opinion, that's all, and I'm not putting the blame on the bench. They didn't commit those 16 turnovers, nor were they the reason we hit less than 30% from three point land.
I think Gilder will have an easier path to more minutes next year in Spokane, given the upheaval in personnel and a much younger team.

Our self styled lottery pick was 3-11, start there.
Originally posted by TexasZagFan View PostDamn shame, we needed more production off the bench against Tech, and we didn't get it. 4 of our 5 starters played 34 or more minutes...Josh had 38. Valiant effort by Josh, but the tank was empty at the end of the game. Geno: 8 minutes, 0 points. Jeremy 13 minutes, 0 points. Killian 11 minutes, 3 points. Their ineffectiveness forced Few's hand in the second half.

I felt we lacked either 1 more big or guard off the bench to provide consistent production, esp in a tight game vs high level opponent.
Unfortunately, this rang true. And how I felt all season long.
Even WITH Tillie, who was still getting back in shape again, and still is to this day.
We needed more depth. A player to make a clutch shot when Norvell couldn't make a bucket, or someone to play aggressive on offense. That wasn't Jones, Geno. Et al. Great players in their own right yet timely finesse players who lacked scoring ability.
Its why 2021 or 2022 is so intriguing, quality depth. Depth that is effective, big, can score, etc.
Its the difference between Elite 8 or S16, and Final 4. At least 1 bench guy must step up. Hit a timely shot, or block, or play aggressive.
We had Zach Collins and Silas Melson and Tillie off the bench 2 yrs ago.
That was my point then...and now.
We had Jones & Geno this year, and Tillie some of the time, at 60%.

Everything else is folly of a broken foundation.
