nova is going to be extremely thin at guard next year

Also, this upcoming team could actually be really good with an addition of just one guy that can consistently make shots. Not sure about Carter, considering the level of competition he's moving up to. If we could get a good shooter that's eligible, I would think it would be a done deal. I'm not giving up on Elias as a shooter yet. We just need one guy to help spread the floor and we have another X team capable of going deep into the NCAA tournament.

It is frustrating, as much as this is becoming a shooter's game, esp. watching the tourney, how much Xavier lacks in this regard. We definitely need more shooters to go deep.

Yeah when people were debating what was more important to add in a grad transfer a shooter or big guy, I was definitely in the shooter camp. Teams can be more successful playing small if they have shooters than playing big with no shooters imo. Luckily the big we added it appears can step outside and knock down some threes. Still think we need to add an above average three point shooter if we can. People seem to thing there is no room for another guard but if we can get someone who is a solid outside shooter there will definitely be room.

I thought the recent grad transfer from Ohio U. was going to be "the help in the post" we'll need next season. I'd guess that Tyrique will be a year better than this year (like many of our big guys have progressed in the past) and, although Hankins' game is more post up and shoot rather than the somewhat more perimeter game of the OU guy, he (OU) did have good rebound numbers in the MAC, (a few steps up from D-2).

I think Carter can spell a few at the 5 if we go small ball. He played 5 a bit for Bobcats so he knows the position.
Obviously a stretch 4 is his natural position which is great because this will open the lane. IMO, hopefully we don’t see him a lot at 3 or 5 but can handle both.
