Let's go! Got our new 4 man! And keeping the Texas pipeline going. A civil engineering major too, impressive 

I think he's more of a 3 for us. Hensley should be the starter at the 4. I doubt they brought this guy in to backup the 4. 

 

I mean with Nagy the 3/4 are interchangeable on offense. Sykes isn't a 3-point shooter so offensively doubt he'll be on the perimeter a whole lot. Hopefully it's something he's working on. He's not an awful free throw shooter so maybe he can develop a 3-pt shot?

 

He's got really good handles and had 26 steals in 22 games. I like his overall game a lot. Really good jumper from 14-17 feet. Like you said no 3 point threat yet, hopefully working on it. Love to see us get Davis and Mayo. then all we need are a good experienced PG and center.

 

Not to get too ahead of ourselves but if we land Mayo and get Davis back, no reason we can't compete for top 3 in the Valley next year...

I agree he's probably not coming here to be a back-up which makes me wonder if Kennard isn't going to be back.

Thanks for the highlight reel! I really love his midrange game!! I feel like the midrange game is a lost art in today's game.

yep, although I think Kennard can play the 2, but then that would make Mayo a backup if he happens to commit.

I feel like it's not a guarantee Hensley is going to start. I wasn't expecting him too but maybe I'm reading it wrong? Feels like he'd be the primary backup for the 4/5 spots

Nothing to do with Davis coming back. Gotta have a roster of quality players, with size. Regardless of what Kennard does they need guys like this. It’s more about minutes than who starts.

Yep. Need as many good players as we can get. Figure out the rest later

Sykes looks like he can play and Southern needs players. Looks like Steffe’s dad is an honorary assistant coach. I’m also hoping it doesn’t  adversely affect the chances of keeping Davis.

Still plenty of holes to address, especially at the 1 and 5.

Length, length, and more length. A quality pass-first point guard will really unlock this team’s potential.

From my POV, the Hawkins-Steffe effect appears to have legs in recruiting

@dunkledog Your agenda is worn and mostly incorrect.  8th in makes at almost 35% from a line 2 feet farther than anyone else in top 20 had.  All from a kid who will likely be able to buy and sell you in a few years.

Nothing against Hensley, I like him and I’m happy he is coming back, but if we think he is the starter, we won’t be that good. Hensley will make a great backup 4.
