I edited my original thought. Think he'll get the final scholarship?

Seems to make a lot of sense. This is probably a quality pickup actually. We were just all hoping for a "bigger" name, so it seems like the air came out of the balloon a bit.

Yes, most likely Charles will get the last known ship. I never though NT was in the running for many of the names being tossed around.

I think JJ is going for all the marbles next year, and with Carmouche being immediately eligible; it is just too good to pass up. This guy is a very good player and I think will start. Vito talked about this making NT the best guard tandem in the Belt, I actually thought NT already had that locked up without him. Carmouche, Thompson,and White starting with Shorter, McGhee, Johnson and Williams coming off the bench; the team should be outstanding. I would have preferred help in the front court, but apparently JJ is happy with what he has.

Good rebounding numbers for a guard. His 3 pt. shooting percentage went up a lot from his freshman year to his sophomore year. Does need to get better on his FT shooting:

If we do get Carmouche....do you all think that affords us the luxury of redshirting McGhee? (since his playing time at the 2 guard position will be drastically reduced). And yes, I know he'll play some at Point and some at the 3.

Just wondering.

I'd sorta like to redshirt McGhee now that you mention it SUMG. I'm really concerned about our squad beyond 2011, but it appears we're really putting all our chips in for next year. That's a fine strategy to take -- just puts even more pressure on JJ to get it done again. He was already successful with that strategy this year, loading up with our huge Junior class, it's just a roll of the dice to get it done back tp back. I mean even with 4 of 5 starters back from a 2nd round tourney team --- WKU went 4th in the regular season and lost in the semis of the SBC tourney.


That said, I'd be floored if we did redshirt him.
