Just what we needed…..another smerf point guard from a not well known program with only 1 year left. Why not a 6-9 240 lb. rebounder?

Well..we DO desperately need a PG. Who is the player, and where does he come from? I have not seen any info on this.
Also, as the portal is now in its third year, one thing is becoming clear. The portal exists only for the Power 6 schools. ON3.com..the definitive site for all things portal..does not have ONE mid-major ranked in the top 70 (70!) in overall transfer rankings. (Sorry..Gonzaga is no longer a mid-major). For mid-majors like Elon, the portal moving forward is going to be a net neutral at best, Net negative some years at worst. Just another reason to hate this new system. Over the next decade or so, it will choke mid-majors to death and truly establish a two-tier system.

He looks serviceable at least…11 PPG in the NEC.
SFU-Brooklyn shutting down ALL sports? Wow…

Kid is a really good player and will be a welcome addition to Elon. If you knew what the athletes/players are making if picked up by the major schools you would be shocked. In other words before one is too critical consider that Elon does not have the money to pay that kind of money unless we want to start stroking checks. I have not witnessed anyone stepping ups far to do so. Watch film on the kid before passing judgement. Last year where/when St Frances played Farleigh Dickinson; he scored 20 points and FD played great defense and went to the dance. Out of high school he scored major points however at St Frances he was called on to run the show and playmaker. (look up his videos) He still scored a bunch of points. Last point. Don't be too quick to judge. New Member you are right.

I think this kid is a player. He started all three years at his former school. Averaged over 11 points a game and nearly 4 assist on a bad basketball team without much support around him. As a Freshman he was on the All NEC Rookie Team and has been named player of the week for the NEC on several occasions. We need help at PG and he provides that as well as experience. LA Pratt started coming on late last year so I think he continues to improve and incoming Freshman - Grant Gondrezick who is a solid get then we are looking a lot better at PG. I think we are in better shape then we were last season at the position. I think Higgins will be a nice surprise. Right now we have 7 new players joining the team. Quite a few are very talented to go along with Smart who is going to be a big time player if he stays healthy. Sherry and MacKinnon return as well with Zac (Hopefully Can Improve that # Point Shot Accuracy). MAybe Jadun Michael (Who I thought for Sure Would Transfer Out) will finally find his grove. Afterall he is the highest recruited player in Elon History. Be nice if he found that groove.
