Think we will red shirt him or no?

It's gonna be Q's decision, which is something I like about Lansing's approach to it. Lansing will give him the straight dope on potential playing time and need and then it'll be the player's decision.

With that said....with Devonte, Tre Bennett, and Brenton Scott ahead of him at PG, I think he'll red shirt.
 
If I had to guess id say he doesn't redshirt. No inside info or anything, just a gut feeling... Bennett and Scott will be the PG's. Brown and Paige will be the SG's. We will need four guards next year, so even if he only gets 10-15 minutes a game I think he plays as a FR. I think the big fella Murphy is the most likely RS candidate for next season.

Fast forward to the 2:28 mark to hear Q talk about his recruitment, Bird, and the MoVal.

What a get for ISU! Watch and listen to this--he is wise beyond his years. Will he red-shirt? Likely a decision for him to make. Great job by Lansing and staff to land nim. He is going to love blue and white, and we are going to love seeing him in blue and white.

I look at him, and I see Dawon Cummings. Good with the ball. Loves to be above the rim. Wonder how his steals per game is? I'm excited with the players coming in!! I'd love to see him build on what Dawon has done at the SG, just wish that they overlapped by a year.

I'd be shocked if he can shoot it as well as Cummings. We will certainly need someone to step up that can shoot it - a lot of it is confidence also.

Cummings couldn't rip it at all last year. He's a completely different player this year and I think it mostly has to do with confidience.

But in respect to playing above the rim - we've seen Cummings do that, so maybe!

That's the truth! Cummings this year is playing SO much better. I did not think he would have such a year. I thought Manny would turn into the confident high point scorer this year. Do we have any stats on Q? How well does he shoot the 3? Just curious.

I don't know what his stats say.

But I aint going to judge a high school prospect on his numbers. I want to see him play. Once I see him I will judge him - simple as that for me! So he very well could be able to rip it like Cummings.
 
It's gonna be weird, we're essentially gonna have 6 new players next year and potentially 4-5 on the court.

Mike Samuels
Q
Alex Etherington
Brenton Scott
Tre Bennett
Brandon Murphy

For the past few years it seems as though we've only had 2 or so new faces at a time so we're used to the same group of players.

Best stats I can find for his senior say he is averaging 18.3 pts per game, 5.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. His turnover numbers are way too high (just under 3 a game) but if you look at a game by game breakdown, he had some five and six turnover games early in the season, but over his last eight games he has 33 assists to 11 turnovers, and hasn't turned the ball over at all in his last three games, so maybe he has settled down, gotten into the flow with his teammates, who knows?

Shooting 54% from the field and 46% from three point range. 74% from the free throw line.

All in all, some pretty impressive numbers with the exception of his assist to turnover ratio, which has improved tremendously over the past three weeks but still not where it should be for a point guard.

I forgot to mention the other night that when I saw Etherington play at the top 40 he looked like a potential 2G to me. So if he or Smith plays guard, that would give us 4 guards without Q. I guess that will be up to him.

After scoring 25 points in only three quarters in a regional win, Q had one of his worst games in a regional semifinal loss last night, only scoring 8 points and fouling out.

His senior season is now over and his team appears to have finished with a 28-10 record. Q appears to have averaged 17 points a game, 3.2 assists per game, shot around 50% from the field, 3 steals and 4.5 rebounds. Also shot a little over 40% from deep.
