Not too broken up about Tipler.  Did we really need a 3rd or 4th string point guard?

I didn’t expect Tipler but he would have been a better option at guard next year than Trent Brown or Miller who are the likely starting options right now.  SIU still desperately needs a scorer and I’m not sure they’re recruiting anyone that can do that better than Tipler.  

That being said, seems like teams backed out on him.  UTRGV is a really shocking destination for a graduate senior.

 

To each their own, I'd rather have Miller.  Tipler is closer to 5'8 than 5'10 and is a senior.  We got the better long term guy for sure and quite possibly the better short term as well.   Yes, I'm all too aware, and concerned, with the potential scoring concerns but they'll work themselves out once the roster is fully vetted.

Even with Hensley and Miller coming in and included in this, SIU projects as a 10th place team in the Valley and a bottom 50 or so offensive team in the country on BartTovik.  

Obvious caveat that projections don't mean everything and they can be wrong.

Leonard should fire up the rainy day list of possible coaching candidates.

I sort of thought he had moved on. I still follow him and he keeps on visiting places. 

He seems to have more personality than a lot of the players Mullins usually gets.

They’re the ones that can get us where we haven’t been in 15 years.

Surely that ship has sailed on SIU's end. How many big men do we need at this point?

Wilson seems like a flake and we already have several more talented big men on the roster.  I hope we’ve moved on.  We need to be concentrating on a scoring 2G right now.

Wilson plays a 3 not so much a 4 or 5, just FYI

That’s the reason I am interested in him.  

Having a 6-9 kid play the 3 is the type of creativity I would have liked to have seen from this staff in the previous four years.
