Strength (physicality) and consistency of scoring from the 4 and 5 positions. I think Pearson and Anhold are the best guys we have seen there in quite a while. But Pearson seemed to be more of a "Disappearson" at times. Carius is a natural 3 and was spending way too much time in the paint. Actually, IMHO, we need a lot of weight room work for the whole group to compete with the upper level teams in the conference.
That is HUGE!!!!! Maybe we land another stud via transfer and this team could be very good.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 12:52 pm Will Carius has one more year left in him.
“Will the Thrill is returning to Western Illinois for one more go around, and the goals are simple: 1. win the league tournament; 2. make a run in the NCAA Tournament; 3. earn first-team recognition.”

I think transfers are going to be key to a lot of team's gameplans over the next season, but you're right, we could use one more really good player. Keeping in mind that this year was a "free" year, I'll put down the number of years that each player should have available to them going forward, if they want to continue playing.letsgonecks wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 2:05 pmThat is HUGE!!!!!

Dunn is reclassifying and going the Prep School route, so have 4 scholarships. Would have liked his addition for the future, but win now approach wants some power 5 guys looking for playing time and scoring.If VerbalCommits.com is correct (https://verbalcommits.com/schools/western-illinois), we have 9 players on-scholarship currently, with 1 verbally committed incoming freshman (Jonathan Dunn), which should leave us with 3 more scholarships available. We know that Coach Jeter has targeted at least a couple of transfers so far (Tyler Poindexter from Tallahassee Community College and Terrance Thompson from UW-Green Bay), so hopefully in amongst those guys and the other freshmen we have offers out for, we might get another 1-2 really solid players and I think we'll be in good shape for next season.
Thanks, fixed my earlier post.letsgonecks wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 8:59 amDunn is reclassifying and going the Prep School route, so have 4 scholarships. Would have liked his addition for the future, but win now approach wants some power 5 guys looking for playing time and scoring.
