If he doesn't play how Bucky wants, his backside will be on the bench. Bucky did it to Pop at the beginning of this past season. It'll be fine

I get that….but then we're in another Federico situation where the player taking up most of our payroll is on the bench.

Can't think of any way to claim this as a negative. Haggerty is a star.

Did you compare him to Federico?

We played a whole season without a guy. I think we are trying like hell to not have that happen again.

Apparently he did. Was federiko ever the #5 player in the portal?

Undeniably talented player. Talented scorer. Massive pickup from that standpoint. He also has tons of red flags with regards to playing winning basketball so hope Bucky has the reigns on it. He did with Pop so I'm hopeful


It's an absolute upgrade over pop and we did pretty good with him.

Pop is a fierce competitor who wants to win imo. He wasn't always fantastic and he did cost us the SMU game but he also was good in March . I don't see how we are better off without him but it does at some point in today's world come down to budget . He may also not be in love with expending energy on full court pressing perhaps and if that's the case I could see him being told to move on. Buy in to system does matter.

One billion percent. Felt like he wasn't bought in for at least half the season. Definitely a factor in not continuing to shell out our NIL bucks on him. Plus he was just ok at point, that matters too.

Not trying to zag just for the sake of it, but not a huge fan of this move. He's very expensive, and he doesn't exactly play winning basketball.

Bucky is a better coach than his previous coaches, but….

Yeah, I'm fully in the mode of trusting Bucky, but I'm also in wait and see mode with a guy like Haggerty. He scores, but he's not very efficient and we're his fifth school in five years, none of which have been particularly good teams. And as you note, definitely very expensive.

Those are all things I like to hear! Like I said, fully trusting Bucky. No reason not to at this point!

is haggerty as good as that guard penn state cooked us with a few years ago? You know the one who backed his way to the rack from the 3pt line.

Five schools in five years. What a great system we have. I wonder if these guys who switch every year ever go to class in the Spring semester. But on just a pure talent level, it's a good pickup.

have we ever had a lead guard at this height/6'4"?

Of course for so many years PG has been an issue that's cropped up through recruiting misses. To have an advantage (or at least push) at the position in conference play will be huge

don't hate the player...

As long as the rules permit the things we don't like we should take advantage of them.

Aggie fans at its best, we just got one of the best pure scorers in college basketball, a former all American, a top 5 prospect in the portal, and they're gonna do their best to spin it negatively…

We just got a guy who can give you a bucket and who can take over the game. He's fearless at the basket, he's got a smooth shot, and he plays fast. Offensively he's perfect for Bucky Ball

We only have 9 guys on the roster, still lots of room for additions. We're just getting started

10 if Marcus Hill's waiver gets approved

some sour grapes from tigerdroppings:

Quote:

As someone who also follows Memphis, here's what I can tell you. Yes he can score. But he's also undersized and his defense sucks. If his shooting isn't on, he's not going to contribute much. He's definitely not who you want as your best player and his NIL value is over-inflated.

Quote:

Seems like Texas A & M waits to see who we recruit and then just throws a bigger bag their way .

i hope the 2nd one is true. Les Miles used to do that to mike sherman and it was annoying as hell.

Re: the first take, guys who average over 20ppg for 3 straight seasons probably don't have a lot of games where their shooting is so bad that they "don't contribute much"

in what world is a career 49% guard not efficient?

also higher 3pt% than Wade

when was the last time we've had a player with this level of scoring pedigree
