Good question… I haven’t thought about it at all but CKS has if we’re reaching out to him

I suppose he challenges Mercy… can he play point…? Maybe be depth in case Dedan goes down again…

Keyshawn is a power forward… skilled enough to play some 3 but his true position is a 4

Did 19pts 7rbs 3 asts the last 2 years (at auburn and before that UCF)

The con about him, is that his teams aren’t winners (in context- was NIT champs at auburn… but NIT is below Auburn pedigree with current coach)

But by default would be seen as our best players coming into the season if we got him

This is not the kind of recruiting battle we usually win. This is likely all about the $$$ vs months to years of CKS culture building. Having said that, I’d be happy to get him

Tempering my enthusiasm since he has many college suitors. The stats indicate he can play.

He’s basically J’Wan’s size with a pretty good 3P shot (37-38%) and an excellent FT shooter. He would radically change how this group plays on offense. But it seems highly unlikely.

This is meant to reply to @pesik but it’s replying to Wheeler for some reason…

Sports-reference lists him as a guard and I can’t really remember him from UCF or AU when he played against us… but I’ll take a forward that can shoot 3s and distribute a little if that’s where he plays.

He’s a 3/4. He could easily slot in at the 3 with DJ, Mercy, Jojo, DG or AD. He would definitely not be seen as our best player though @pesik imo. Jojo still holds that spot until proven otherwise. I think he could play the 4 as well but a more natural 3 on this team

My thoughts is we would be great for his game.
But if he wants that and to win he just needs to come and tell that to coach.

Bringing in a guy like this so late isn’t usually our cup of tea so think he would need to convince CKS and not just be money-grabbing.

Sounds like we’re reaching out to him…

How tall is Bryce now? It looks like he grew a bit and packed on a few lbs from working out.

Im actually pretty excited to see what he can bring to the team this year. His handles look solid, as does his shot.
