Nova point guard transferring. Hope Duke signs him

[acc hoops]

Dylan Ennis who averaged just under 10 Pts for the Wildcats will transfer.
He will be allowed to play next season. He wants to be a traditional point guard. Would love to see him play for Duke.

Sounds intriguing to me, I think we're going to hear a lot of things like this for the next 6 weeks or so, until everything settles. I do hope we get some additional folks, particularly a PG and a wing (whether that's incoming recruits or recruits), I see those areas being our biggest need.

Tyler Ennis' older bro. He will turn 24 in Dec. We'd certainly have an older team with MP3, Amile and Matt playing key roles.

Beyond obviously waiting to see what Tyus does, the obvious question is whether Ennis is such an obvious choice at PG that he'd be the automatic starter if he transferred. The fact that Jay Wright is letting him walk in favor of their top PG recruit (Brunson) raises some doubts as to Ennis's ceiling as a PG. And, frankly, I'd want to know about his personality / willigness to accept playing off the ball if it turned out he wasn't our best choice at PG -- in view of the fact that he's now transferring to his 3rd college program in 5 years.

That's my question about him also. That's a lot of transfers. That's more than Mahktar N'diaye and we all know what he turned out to be. . I'm sure if Coach K and staff feel the need to pursue him they will. OFC

Given that there is not another PG on the team if Tyus goes pro, this is a non-issue. It would only be an issue if there were were another PG coming in.

I believe he originally transferred from Rice because the coach was fired. If that's the case, I don't see a problem with him being at a 3rd school in five years.

He probably wants to play for a school where he can be the point guard. I didn't watch Villanova this year, so I'm not sure if he or Arcidiacono ran the point.

I'm a little skeptical. He plays good defense and can put up points, but is very streaky. And there is a big difference IMO between being a traditional PG and WANTING to be a traditional PG.

I don't know enough about him to "hope" Duke signs the kid, but there are some intriguing prospects who will be available that should be able to step in and provide minutes next season....should Duke choose to go that route.

LOL, yep. Of course we all know Lebron lied about that but I like your thinking.
