IDK guys.

Chap, I disagree. He was off vs Nova this year, but had 17, 10, 13 in the prior 3 healthy years....those were some fine Nova teams. He is basically a 3pt sniper, but he is a volume shooter with a high %. Rebounds well, doesn't turn it over and is flat out money from the line.

kayako, I'm guessing he won't be a rotation player, regardless of where he ends up. The guy plays for a shitty team, so he hardly ever comes out of the game....is the main focus for the opposition every time. The A-10 is very respectable at the top, and he consistently scorched them all.

The only reason this has any relevance here.....evidently Xavier has contacted him.

Could very well be right Xup... my lens is tainted looking at him. Expectations were much higher as I recall / eye test and seemed like he just didn't deliver against us. But, looking back his numbers weren't bad prior to last year as you said. Most of those games were blow outs, wondering if much came at garbage time.... again, just a feeling / eye test. Who knows, could be a great zone buster for someone, but I don't think he was all that effective on D.

Xavier does have a good track record of finding experienced transfers in the last few years. I believe Funk is the last Martelli recruit still playing college basketball, so maybe Michigan is a possibility if he is okay with a significantly reduced role.
