Definitely not a liability. And, 2 years ago, he was 3.6-9.4 from 3 per 40 minutes for us, and the year before at The Citadel he was 3.9-9.9 from 3 per 40 minutes. So, this talk about he got way more shots and looks when in there at The Citadel than here is just not accurate.
Matt Becht - Southern NH Transfer - Visit ~4/13
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
he got a shot up every 4 seconds in his Citadel highlight reel, and hit 100% of them too!
we have a lot of needs to fill, including a shooter like Becht.
the only thing we don't need is a true 5.
definitely need shooting.

and yet of the 20 targets we have left, 3 took 15 or fewer 3's and 6 others had 3 point shooting percentages in the 20's.
I'm pretty confident we have contacted more guys than you think, and does your post above mean 11 of the 20 were good from 3? And, don't forget Harris became a key piece last year and Bigs was in the 20s 2 years ago.
Harris was a perfect role player last year, bought into whatever was asked of him, which was defense, rebounding and corner 3s. Hopefully there are guys like that each year, but who knows what kind of role any kid is looking for as a transfer. I'm fairly confident that our staff is laying out that kind of situation for transfers who aren't expected to be starters, like Harris. You obviously can't promise 5 returnees and multiple transfers that they'll all start and be 25-30 mpg guys but can promise them a shot at proving they belong in the rotation of a team expecting to win in the A10.
I expect most of the role player guys are guys like Harris, one year transfers looking to move up for a final year. Finding the glue guy who can easily translate his lower level stats - even if modest numbers - is an interesting aspect of the portal.
Also, i agree it's not Roche's shooting numbers that worry me at all, it's his opportunity. If he's healthy this coming year, they just have to let him shoot away, we need scoring badly.

I'm going off MD's google sheet, which is all we have.
currently 66 guys we know we reached out to. I'm sure there are a few others.
of the 66, we landed Beagle. 45 committed elsewhere. 20 remain uncommitted.
11 of those 20 we're fine from 3.
Becht was by far the best at 44.8% ... with the caveat that it was in D2.
the other 10 range from 32.3% to 37.4%.
I know for a fact that we are in touch with players and have had more visits than the google sheet would suggest.

good to hear. crazy to me that we reached out to this many as it is. but I guess that's you have to do it in the portal.
Yes as much as some are downgrading on here, I believe Jordan King did pretty good moving up from a lower conference. This guys game appears very much different than Roche's to me. Hope we are still in on Deuce or Matt, both look like they can fill it up.
