Arizona's looking at Ryan Taylor a 6-6 200lb grad transfer from Evansville. He led the Missouri Valley Conference in scoring & shot 42.4% from 3 point land.

Based on that list, Arizona would seem like the best destination.
Then again, he would have to know we are going to be bringing in more players with so many holes so who knows..

I know we need bodies but from the one article I've read about this guy, he seems to be a liability on defense. If that's true, I hope he doesn't come here. That may mean our roster is thin but I cannot handle another year of watching a ball dominant guard who gives up as many points as he scores.

Here's the quote from azdesertswarm: Evansville had the 30th-best defensive efficiency in the country this past season, allowing just 96.6 points per 100 possessions. But it surrendered 100.6 points per 100 possessions when Taylor was on the court.

Taylor also ranked dead last on Evansville in defensive box plus/minus (-1.7).

I had mentioned on one of the other threads that we should also be trying to get Kameron Chatman from Detroit. Although he would fulfill the requirements of a potential grad transfer, his likelihood of grad transferring was considered low, and now I realized why that is.  His dad is part of the coaching staff at Detroit Mercy, so unless his dad basically tells him to leave in order to pursue a better chance of a possible pro career, by getting back into a bigger school with higher competition and exposure, I can't picture him leaving family and the state of Michigan. I wouldn't rule it out completely, but that's a Bummer :(
