Personally, I'd like to grab another grad transfer with the last scholarship. Someone who offers some solid guard depth and can shoot to help out right away. Then you get the slot back for a 2020 four year player.

Heard today that the coaches are considering a sit 1, play 1 transfer. Some research tells me it is 6’4 2G Kamari Newman from Oakland U. Averaged 9 and change last season, shot 35% from 3. Spent a year at George Mason before transferring to Oakland. Was first team All-Detroit as a junior along with Cassius Winston, among others. Believe he is Bob Simon’s recruit. Another guy with regional ties that could be Simon (if you don’t know for a fact it’s Newman) is Deleon Brown, 6-4 guard transferring from Colorado who is also a sit 1, play 1. From Grand Rapids. Would be fine with either. Neither are PGs. Newman seems like a solid shooter and good athlete. Having a sit-out guy in general makes sense since all 12 scholarship guys right now are eligible. Question you have to weigh is whether taking Newman, Brown, or whoever else we’d be looking at is worth the opportunity cost of no sit-out transfer. Any word on either of these scenarios? If one of these were to happen and we haven’t heard anything yet (i.e., no word on either enrolling for summer classes) does this mean we won’t hear anything until the fall semester classes?

www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4067955/rasheem-dunnRasheem Dunn leaving Cleveland St after they fired their entire coaching staff in mid July. He was a transfer from St. Francis and sat out so he very likely could get a waiver. Coach Harley Fuller is following him on twitter. Adding another guard would be good especially assuming he can play this year. - Here he is playing at the TUC

He'd likely be a much better version of what you'd have wanted Hein to be. Kid looks like he can really rebound and force turnovers...but also attack the rim. He is used to a high volume of shots though. Not sure if he'd like playing 5th fiddle. Still, he'd make Siena's D quite strong and could score quite efficiently if he cut his 3PA's in half.

Not sure if he'd like playing 5th fiddle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWxAJDMDYpIHis jumper isn't that bad when you watch it on tape (though of course this is only makes). My guess is his shooting struggles have a lot to do with that volume and having to handle the ball. If he's the 3rd ballhandler on the floor next to Carey and Pickett in the starting lineup, he gets more catch-and-shoots, slashes, and gets you 50 steals. He's athletic, a good rebounding guard, gets to the line, and had a better than 1:1 A:TO. There's also a real chance he improved as a shooter during his sit-out year given he went from 22% to 28% from his freshman to sophomore season. He's a steal if we can get him as an immediately eligible with 2 to play guy and largely solves all our issues in the backcourt.

He's a steal if we can get him as an immediately eligible with 2 to play guy and largely solves all our issues in the backcourt. What he would do is allow us to get the defensive, rebounding, and attacking production we need from Harris without needing Harris to do it. However, now you'd have the chance for them both to do it. If we had him AND Harris with Pickett, Carey, and Camper...then you're talking about a fully athletic backcourt that could now compete with Rider's ballhawking/rebounding guards for possessions. Close that possession gap, and Siena's other attributes like FG% D and FT% could put them ahead of Rider. And if you can compete with Rider for possessions and beat Iona in possessions, then Iona could fall to 3rd with their lack of D. This would be a great kid to have as long as he plays to the correct role and tempers the gunning. Tell him he's got only 2 3 pt shots per game to work with and he can be exactly what we need.

The kids an athlete, his problem is perimeter shot volume and shot selection . He needs to be more selective from the perimeter, based on the few videos I watched. He definitely gets the ball to the rim and can create his own look if needed.
I’m all for anything that increases team athleticism and players that have the ability to get to the hoop.

I’m all for anything that increases team athleticism and players that have the ability to get to the hoop. Exactly, a kid like this should only be taking like 60-70 three attempts a year in full time minutes, TOPS. But, it may be tough to get a high volume kid like him to buy into a defensive/dribble driving only role. He may still want to gun. That won't fly here with Pickett, Carey, Seymour, Harris, Burns, Friday, Ratliff, Sutherland, Camper etc..... There are other scoring options. He's only an improvement if he plays the correct role. If he's a distraction and a gunner, see ya.

You put the cards on the table and let him sign up or move on. The kid checks a lot of boxes/needs.
