Who is the better one year transfer? Asked this questions to several friends, seems to be split down the middle.
Boum helped X to a 3 seed but imagine Quincy with Hunter and Free. Can Quincy will this team to the tourney??

Boum or Quincy

As good as Boum was offensively, he was horrid on d. For that reason, I’ll take olivari.

Situations are much different. Q would’ve thrived last year, too. I’m not sold that Boum could on this years team. It’s a damn shame Freemantle went out last year, because I think they had a final four type run in em if healthy. They did beat the national champs twice.
Sounds weird but if I could pick between the two I’d always go Q. If we can’t find a way to make the tournament, boum is the better transfer.

I think there is a serious YTD component to this. As good as Boum was, and he was, his end-of-season fade was hugely disappointing, If Olive can avoid the same fate, and, as Xav stated, make the tournament and then do something, it would be a slam dunk - or maybe a three pointer.
Just making the tourney itself seems a huge expectation at this point. Unfortunately, I will likely forget that and be upset if they do not go on.I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I drink 2XS.

Olivari affects this current squad more with his defense, scoring and rebounding. Both are excellent shooters but I also will take Olivari.
How about McKnight? Would you take McKnight over Kunkle or Boum? I would.

I'd take Olivari.
Similar offensive stats so far . . . both have Big East talent/skill . . . but Olivari has a Big East body and Boum did not. (6'3" 200 lbs v 6'3" 175 lbs)

To be fair to Boum, a lot of guys had to play extended minutes last year because of a very short bench at the end of the year. I'm not going to hold that against him.
