Pretty limited amount of data on Frank to form an educated opinion. I personally think Frank leans towards a long, athletic defender type of player but signs the best players he can. Sometimes those guys are Buchis, sometimes they're HotRods.

Not sure who you are referring to here, Jordan and Victor? Two isn't several.

hmm...

lots of people on here said frank doesnt recruit shooters. it was the big worry when fred brown transferred...

irving, russell, mcgruder, spradling... all seem to be pretty good shooters now.

Irving shot 24% from 3 and Russell shot 22% from three last year, so I'm not going to declare them "pretty good" just yet. We'll see on Spradling.

And seriously, look at the profiles of the guards he recruits. Pretty much all of them can get to the rim and can't shoot. Or Art feeds him to us.

I don't think it's unreasonable for those guys to shoot in the low 30s. Jake made similar improvements over his career. Now, I'm not saying they will be Jake, but go through a similar improvement curve shooting the ball, it's not like they have terrible shots.

What i really want to see is McGruds not shooting 27%.

Yeah but they're not "shooters" like the other dude claims. Not sure he knows what a shooter is.

He also recruited Burks and Dixon, both of whom hit better than .350 from three as freshmen. And, of course, he recruited Brown and Denis, even through I suppose Brown could be listed as Huggins recruits.

So, are we going with "White Doberman"?

I feel like we could do better. The guy will be here 4 years.

Welk Spradling?

Another angle is that it was revealed in the media guide that his middle name is Sadler.

Doc Spradler it is, aka leading candidate for Trim's most hated team personality* (actual player division).

*solely due to his cult status with the Ku KSTATEO Klan.

Will Spradling sounds fine to me.

Having a decent white guy on the team is absolutely killing the resident retards. No recourse other than to resort to childish namecalling. Seems like people would root for any good player on our team but not this board.

Who's not rooting for him? I think the only player most of us would like replaced at this point is Myles.
