    Latulip may not be the type of hot prospect or even a George Marshall, but I could see a young man like that being a big contributor both on the court and in practice. Check out this story from a month ago.

    He may end up being more of a Keaton Moffitt type player, but that would be very valuable to have next year. I believe Keaton would have been a full time starter next year if he had another year of eligibility. Latulip would add effort, work ethic, and I believe another coach on the court with his experience.

    If it's not Latulip, I'd be interested to see who it would be that would be eligible to play next year. A graduate or someone who redshirted last year would be the only ones eligible from my understanding.
    I know Moffitt played hard for you guys and filled an important role and most people on here seem to adore him, but if you're looking for a transfer who can impact the team immediately, you need the aforementioend "hot prospect or even a George Marshall" more than a Moffitt-esque player. It would be a shame to let even a single year of Daum's career pass by with guards who can't be immediate difference-makers.

    Unless I missed something, it appears Daum is the only freshman to make 1st Team All-Conference as far back as the 2008-09 season (which is as far back as I cared to dig in the archives), and one of only three underclassmen to be make the 1st Team since 2010-11 (sophomores Nate Wolters in 2010-11 and Taylor Braun in 2011-12 being the other two). Obviously a big part of that is simply which teams have good upperclassmen and whatnot--meaning maybe there weren't as many good upperclassmen this year as there have been in past years--but I don't know if I'd necessarily call this a "down year" for the Summit League by any means. I think Daum is just really good.

    In terms of All-Conference teams (which, admittedly, is the only statistical base I'm working off of here) Daum seems to be somewhat of a rare talent for the Summit League and it would be a shame for his talents to be squandered as the result of a rebuilding year in the backcourt. For Jacks fans' sake, I'd hope Nagy and staff find a Marshall-esque talent or at least one of the young guards makes a pretty substantial jump over the summer. Of course, the transfer thing is easier said than done, but I would think SDSU should be an appealing landing spot for transfers, particularly with Nagy proving they can succeed in Brookings and the guards themselves recognizing they'd be paired with a big man of Daum's caliber right out of the gate.

    Or maybe the younger guards are more ready than I realized and all my rambling is for naught. That is quite often the case. I just think if the best option anyone has come up with so far is a player comparable to Moffitt, the staff should aim slightly higher (sorry, sorry, I know you guys love Moffitt...just looking at this from an outsider's perspective).

    Anyway, thanks for humoring me. I'm a little anxious about tonight's Augie game and needed to ramble a little bit.

    Just doing a quick check of Big Ten rosters there is really only one name that stands out. Mike Latulip out of Illinois. In is bio it said he red-shirted this year so that he could save one year of eligibility and transfer somewhere as a graduate student. He was only a walk on there and didn't play more than a couple minutes a season but her appear to be pretty good coming out of high school where he averaged 22 points and 4 assists as senior. he was selected 2nd and 3rd team all-state as a senior. Here is a link to his bio on the Illinois athletics page. http://www.fightingillini.com/roster...35&path=mbball

    Yes restoring amateur status to play one year in Summit does not make any sense. But what do I know.

    It looks like his 4 years may be gone with the injury after 17 games.

    Everyone knows they need a PG that can play right away and that evolved into them having a player lined up already.

    If Melo Trimble wants to transfer I'd allow it.

    All I had heard is that currently there is a large effort focused on a new point guard.

    You hear regularly from New Mexico fans about players transferring out? Oh, and about those stats...let me do a quick comparison:

    Deondre Parks: 41% FG, 33% 3FG, 48 A, 54 TO
    Reed Tellinghuisen: 40% FG, 37% 3FG, 40 A, 53 TO
    Jake Bittle: 42% FG, 32% 3FG, 55 A, 51 TO
    Yes. I have read multiple places that New Mexico fans dislike him. In fact, there was a piece on Deadspin that mentioned him receiving death threats from fans (possibly) (http://deadspin.com/is-a-new-mexico-...ats-1759795646). I don't condone that obviously, but I don't think it's a stretch for me to say he's not well liked. Thank you for the sarcastic comment though.

    The mouthy brat so many Lobo basketball fans came to dislike, the mouthy brat himself worked so hard to hide, might actually be the secret to the University of New Mexico’s revitalization.
    During that time he cultivated a reputation as a smack-talking punk who backed up his big mouth with a high-scoring game
    Once he stepped foot on campus, however, he was known as the cocky kid of privilege, the one who lacked humility and respect for the game. Over the course of the last two-plus years, he did a lot to squelch that persona.

    ***

    None of those players you mentioned play point guard. Deondre and Reed shot much better. Jake has been hurt all year. Don't feel like those comparisons fit.

    I wasn't making a definitive statement on him. I was just passing on what I know and had heard, and was adding a few more stats than just his per game averages.

    Whether you are a preachers kid or the coach's kid, you are not too popular. Ask the Boots Kid. Despite his numbers, I think he would work out. Comparisons do not reflect the RPI's of the opponents. I think NM plays a tougher schedule than SDSU.

    Wonder if the coaches are looking at him?
