Who/How many transfers do we now have?

Post by EKULFan »

Bennett, Beverly and Wade are the 3 that I've seen listed...are there more transfers to come?

Players leaving...Green, King, Knapper, Broughton and Hobbs(Not sure bout him)

Any idea what our roster/starting 5 will look like next season?

The new players so far are;

Dashawn Jackson 6-3 190
Iran Bennett (6-9, 335) 3★
Trevin Wade (5-11, 166) Wichita State
Braxton Beverly (NC State) (6-0, 185) 3.3★

By my count we still have 2 scholarships to fill.

Right now I have the starting line up with;

Iran Bennett (6-9, 335) 3★
Michael Moreno - 3★, 6-7
Curt Lewis - (6-5-220)
Jomaru Brown - (6'2" 185)
Braxton Beverly (6-0, 185)3★ OR Trevin Wade (5-11, 166) Wichita State

And the bench right now looks like;

Forwards (by height)
Tariq Balogun - (6-10– 249)
Devontae Blanton (6-6/210)

Guards (by height)
Dashawn Jackson 6-3 190
Cooper Robb (6'1" 190), Charlotte
Russhard Cruickshank - (6-0)

3.3?? Looks to me as he was a 4 star, who was the last ESPN 4 star player to play at EKU???

Only one rating service gave him a 4 star rating. His average rating was 3.3. Sometimes it's just rounded off to a 3 star rating.

Here's the summary;

Scout 3★, Rivals 3★, ESPN 4★
Composite Star Rating 3.3★

ESPN is considered the main recruiting service when evaluating high school players. I've always understood Paul Biancardi as the main scout guru for high school players. Don't remember any scout service regardless of "credibility" rating a EKU player as a 4 star.

You asked about other EKU players;
- Iran Bennett got a 4★ rating from ESPN.
- Brandon Knapper got a 4★ rating from ESPN.

There have been others but I don’t have the time to look beyond the past couple of years.

You seem to have a really low opinion of EKU basketball. Why?

G...I like your opinion/guess for our starting 5...
Going to miss Kings points and Greens athleticism... but insert Brown into the lineup for points and Beverly's ball handling/maturity and it appears to balance out...on paper!

Bench may be a little thinner next season but it appears to be a good 7 or 8 guys in the rotation!
