can definitely see him being an 8-9 ppg player who can mesh well with PJ Hall
the biggest hope of the off season is to see if the 3 freshman can each turn into 20 mpg contributors

Looks like he’s actually good at basketball…..
No he's not a point guard/creator, but the kid showed that he ain't scared & he does take off to the basket some. Not his job per se, but he can make some plays.
Maybe but would you want to be forced to serve in today’s military? I rest my case.
No offense to Hemenway, but how would you compare them other than they're both white?
Midwestern shooters. Alex shoots a bit of a set shot. This kid has higher release and shoots a jumper. Jake is sturdier build. He moves well without the ball and doesn't need much separation to get off a shot. Plus - Jake was AF leading scorer for the season so I'd imagine he'd come in quite confident.
Just curious, where are you seeing this? That would be strange. He definitely needs to add some mass, but if he was 180 this year that's not bad.
Yes. >50% is good. If half his shots are from 3, that means his non-3 percentage is almost 60. When you adjust for 3 pts vs 2, 40% from 3 equates to 60%. That is outstanding.
Jake is 6'5" and 180 pounds.....do not see him replacing Hunter at wing
Chase will be PG with transfer at SG.....if he plays wing forward we will get killed on the boards
Watch all the good teams in the tournament they’re 3 guard type teams our best year we had devoe at the 3. Two years ago when we were good we played 3 guards
Interesting @Paul Strelow @Larry_Williams have you heard anything about this? Assuming that means we would still take 3 more guys because we have 4 scholarships total actually left
Don't we only have 3 left

Yeah I was talking about before the AF take. So we will likely use all our scholarships now. Backup Big, 2 guard and a wing, but yea 3 is correct now
Not necessarily, no.
Is that part of their discussion? Yes. But that's pretty open-ended depending on how things go with the rest of their transfers, as I've understood it.
I also think you could throw that out there in an effort to try to avoid scaring off other guard transfer candidates who might view Jake as competition.
Redshirts are on scholarship and count toward the total. Doesn't change the numbers.
Because hell will have frozen over.
I'm sure a setback to alex or striking out in the portal would change things but that's the plan
Ideally, Dillon will improve his shooting and be the main PG. Chase is more of a 2G that will flourish there.
@Paul Strelow Do you think this will have any impact on whether Hemenway actually comes back? I know that is his intention, but some of the folks at WCCP seem to think that’s not a done deal.
Lol shows ignorance. You’re aware a MWC team is i Final 4 right?
He was third team as a sophomore. BTW, the Mountain West put four teams in the tournament (the MWC went 4-3 in the tournament). The winner of the MWC (San Diego State) is in the final four. P
We seem to be utilizing red shirts alot (or maybe other teams are as well and I am just unaware). Sometimes they never even play a minute and then transfer out. Does the kid want to redshirt?
What would be the purpose of redshirting him? If the kid is good enough to be all-MWC, doesn't he need to be playing for us next year? If I'm Brownell, I'd prefer to have all the cannons fully loaded- there's no sense saving ammunition at this point.
Wouldn't be surprised if staff thinks this will run off AH, which may be fine and dandy in their minds.
Certainly is fine imo.
