[bigd]

Nisre Zouzoua who averaged over 20ppg for Bryant. He will sit 1 and play 2.

I see probation in your future

Can we really trust your vision?

This is our biggest get yet

Zouzoua had 16 games of 20 or more points last season including seven games of at least 25 points and two games of 30 or more points. He had 22 points and made 5 three point shots in a loss to the Big 10’s Northwestern Wildcats. He also tallied 22 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals vs eventual National Runner-Up Gonzaga. He scored 31 points, had 6 rebounds and 5 steals against Brown. In three games vs Notre Dame, Gonzaga and Northwestern Zouzoua averaged 21.7 points per game

I see a Marshall replacement!

Bryant is a small business college near Providence  that has really tried to go Div 1 athletically in  the last decade.

They've done a decent job.

yes, my crystal ball has been much clearer in the recent months. so has my RANKULATOR. crystal ball visualizes post season band coming next year and Musslehead bolts to Syracuse

Definitely Marcus Marshall 2.0 and we get him for 2 years

[HoosierRebel]

Shot about 37% from 3 and 41% from the floor. Should be a good add.

Supposedly Illinois, Virginia, NC State, Rutgers and others wanted him.

Raw data is nice, but he could have just been the lone option on a bad team. I don't know much about him or Bryant, but they didn't win much. His percentages are ok, but not great. Expecting his ppg to translate straight across is foolish, but he will probably chip in a solid 15-17 a night.

[BacksThePack]

22 at Gonzaga as the only option, seems legit.

I read that 9 of UNR's 12 scholarship players are transfers.  I'm not a fan of just loading up on transfers.  Kansas the blue blood is doing it, and I think it will be used against them in recruiting.  I also think it's harder to have continuity and culture when you have a bunch of transfers.

It's worked for us so far so I can't complain. I think Muss has quite a few HS targets for the class of 2018. When he first arrived he talked about his specific plan of building the program up quickly with transfers, and it makes sense. We have a stacked roster for the next two seasons and should be able to recruit better once we have consistent success.

I feel like he's tying to use the NBA style of roster building in college.  I don't think that's the best formula, and it has a ceiling.

Muss brought in 3 highly regarded freshmen recruits last season.  Kenny Wooten asked to be released from his LOI and Ramsey just transferred out.  Hall is the lone remaining player from that class.  He got two highly regarded freshmen year before last.  Drew remains but Oliver just signed with an agent. 

I do think he will bring in some freshmen recruits during the November signing period when there are more kids available.  He will have 4 seniors this year so there will be open spots..

There are currently no JC's on the roster..I am not sure how aggressive he is in bringing those players on board.

I like Hall. I think he was underused. He's going to be a good player in this league at some point. 

[nvspuds]

He is a good player who emerged as a starter until being  injured and missing several games..I would not be surprised to see him as a starter this year.
