One maybe as soon as early next week. Other(s) may take a while. :)
The coaches are very aware we need another shooting guard (emphasis on the "shooting"), and another big man.
 
One other aspect of Terry Roberts' game that the coaches like is his defense. He is a terrific defensive player, despite the fact that at the top levels of junior college, there is not always a lot of defense played. He helped Florida Southwestern College to become a very good defensive team.

Florida Southwestern College averaged 88.3 points scored, and only 70.6 ppg allowed. They held opponents to 41.3% overall and 32.5% on threes. Those are all pretty good numbers for juco.

Terry Roberts averaged 2.7 steals per game. By comparison, the top steals player in the MVC this year averaged just 1.6 steals per game.
Bradley has had a lot of good guards, but has not had anyone come close to that figure for over 20 years. If you watch the recent videos of him, you'll see a little of his defensive capabilities, along with his ability to drive to the basket or find open teammates-

Florida Southwestern College plays at Suncoast Arena, which hosted Bradley for the '19 Fort Myers Tipoff.

Welcome Terry!
 
We can't wait to see you play, Terry. Welcome!

It's interesting that in the videos it seems he prefers to dribble with his left hand, but shoots with his right. That ought to confuse the defense! :lol:
 
Florida Southwestern has a big connection to Drake- Hemphill, Wilkins and Murphy played there and Richter one of their assistants coached there.
 
Short memory dc, Dyricus Simms-Edwards averaged 2.5 steals per game in the 2012-2013 season, bumped up slightly to 2.6 in conference play.

Yes, you are right, but still short of the 2.7 steals per game Terry Roberts had this season, and DSE was named the MVC Defensive Player of the Year that year for a play-in team.
 
Not 2.7 but the bar you set was have “anyone come close to that figure.” It would be amazing if Terry comes in and tops DSE

Dave Eminian says 3 years in the journal star tweet.

That may be true, but with all due respect, I would not accept that as documentation that he has 3 years.
He has spent 2 years at Florida Southwestern College. So the "3 years" comment is based on an assumption that the NCAA's recently enacted policy of awarding all competing NCAA players an extra season of eligibility also applies to incoming junior college recruits. But nothing in the NCAA statements actually says that is the case.
Here is the NCAA's press release-
https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources...udent-athletes

It says, "Winter sport student-athletes who compete during 2020-21 in Division I will receive both an additional season of competition and an additional year in which to complete it", the Division I Council decided.

As far as I can find, the NCAA has not addressed whether they will extend this "additional season of competition" to incoming recruits from junior colleges or from non-NCAA colleges. I think they should, and it would be great if they do.
If anyone can find confirmation about this question regarding juco players, please let us know.

Hey Coach,

The additional year is a rule in D1, D2, and D3, so I'd be shocked if they decided not to give an additional year to someone who transfers to a different division, though after reading the rule I can't argue that the letter of the law doesn't appear to answer the question. I just think it's extremely unlikely that all college students aren't receiving an extra year of eligibility considering the fact all divisions have extended the same courtesy.

I'm personally not a fan of this rule, but it's there so I hope that BU can take advantage of it. This rule will no doubt have a long term effect on statistical records and as mentioned on the forums by several of the great posters here, this will hurt the incoming freshman and their ability to get playing time for the next few years. On the bright side, I hope we get an extra year of Mast, Henry, Ville, and Ari.
 
TR doesn’t seem to resemble any recent Braves we’ve seen. Does anyone else think so?
Some impressive explosive jams I saw that remind me of another Roberts who many of us grew to love. :)
His game reminds me a little of Rip Hamilton, the 2-time UConn Nat’l champ and former NBA star.
