Obviously he wanted to be closer to home. Can't blame a kid for that.

Losing out to Xavier is one thing. We lose out to freaking St Joes? Well we better hope this kid isn't as good as I think he will be.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (Xavier transfer)
What a waste. Who wants to go to st. Joes??
Obviously he wanted to be close to home. Odd call for a highly rated recruit.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (Xavier transfer)
It could be a couple reasons
1. He wanted to be close to home
2. He saw a lot of the activity with players transferring and also was worried about playing time here
3. Maybe his friendship with Fatts isn’t as good as we thought after he thought he was coming to URI and Fatts thought he could get him here

Home is usually where they go when they’re going through difficult situations. It doesn’t make sense to go there but here’s to beating him next season.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (Xavier transfer)
Hate to state the obvious, but we have very little going as it appears in terms of filling three spots. We aren’t going to get anyone close to Bishop’s ability. I guess we will have an open spot or a transferIggy1979 wrote: ↑4 years ago4. St Joe’s was more interestedRamStock wrote: ↑4 years ago It could be a couple reasons

How do you know what the staff has going? Did you know about Long before he committed or Toppin before he committed?RamStock wrote: ↑4 years agoHate to state the obvious, but we have very little going as it appears in terms of filling three spots.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (St Joe’s)
I'm actually not shocked, disappointed but not shocked. If he was gonna transfer here, he would have been behind fatts and probably Sheppard 2nd semester next year, then competing with Wood and Ish the year after. He wouldnt have been close to home which sounds like it was a huge part of his desire to transfer.
Like I said disappointed but on to the next.

He also would have been competing with Martin, Toppin & Long for playing time at the 3 which would be tough. He wasn’t going to play any PG.phipsiGD'11 wrote: ↑4 years ago I'm actually not shocked, disappointed but not shocked.

Yeah I guess being close to home played a big part and they are bad so he should play a lot
I am sure Cox and staff will find us players

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (Xavier transfer)
Toppin is a fair point. This is pretty rare to get someone who fell that far under the radar until late when the recruiting picked up. He is a gem and they were on him ahead of time to hold off bigger schools. I like Long’s defense and will always be a good rotational player. I just don’t want the Johnson type recruits from the juco if we are trying to fill spots. I guess we will see what happens. Need one big and one outside three point specialist

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (St Joe’s)
Staying close to home will increase his chances for a waiver to play 1st semester next season. He will use family as the reasoning for the transfer. Would not have been able to do that going to school hundreds of miles away.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (St Joe’s)
As soon as I read one of the reasons for transferring was that he was homesick, I figured St. Joe's would have an advantage over us. I was hoping for him to come here and am disappointed, but certainly not shocked.

While I was all for adding Bishop, our incoming freshmen guards look pretty good. Hopefully Sheppard is hitting the books.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (St Joe’s)
Don’t agree with that. He was not a good shooter in high school. He wasn’t the best player on his HS team his Sr year. Donta Scott was.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑4 years ago If he wouldn't have been guaranteed playing time here, then he's not the player he was in high school.
Most HC don’t guarantee playing time. They give each player the opportunities in practice to earn playing time. He struggled at Xavier as has been posted on this thread.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (St Joe’s)
To be fair, he is a freshman who hasn’t been given much of an opportunity yet. I’m not sure what has taken place in practice, but he will most likely be a good get for St.Josephs.Rhody83 wrote: ↑4 years agoDon’t agree with that. He was not a good shooter in high school.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (St Joe’s)
He averaged 10 mins/game as a Fr for a P6 team. Granted his minutes had declined. He played 120 minutes and his shooting stats where 4-28 FG, 2-17 3P & 4-13 FT. If he was doing that in his Fr year for URI, Rhody fans would be killing him. He had poor shooting %s his last year of AAU. I don’t think he is a good shooter and it is unlikely he will be a good shooter next year.RamStock wrote: ↑4 years agoTo be fair, he is a freshman who hasn’t been given much of an opportunity yet.

How could Cox guarantee him playing time next year. Who would you have him playing before at the 2 & 3 next year?

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (St Joe’s)
I didn’t say that Cox would guarantee him time. The choice is up to Bishop. My only point is that I find it very hard to believe that we find three better players than him with the remaining three spots. Outside of Toppin it isn’t like we have Duke quality players at the 2-3 spots. I think we overate our players. Bishop may not indeed be better than some of the players we have and may end up a bust, but when we start talking about the depth we have it is a little much when this is a team that will looks headed for the NIT at best.Rhody83 wrote: ↑4 years agoHe averaged 10 mins/game as a Fr for a P6 team.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (St Joe’s)
Also I was curious what happened to that player that you compared to Stan Robinson or better? You said that shooting mechanics could be worked on when he got to Kingston. Didn’t Jared Terrell improve greatly? We can assume he wasn’t going to be the next Jimmy Baron from the outside, but tons of talent. I guess his continued struggles shooting made you sour on him. We have a somewhat similar situation with Harris as his improvement has been slow. I’m a little skeptical on Bishop at this point also, but not just because of his shooting, but where his head and attitude to compete are at. Mute point now with him off the table. On to the next guy.Rhody83 wrote: ↑4 years agoHe averaged 10 mins/game as a Fr for a P6 team. Granted his minutes had declined.

Re: ‘19 PA SG - Dahmir Bishop (St Joe’s)
I think Bishop can produce as a slasher. He needs to bulk up if he is going to be like Stan. His FT shooting raised a red flag. Hard to play SG if you even struggle shooting FTs. Stan played the 3 (and even some undersized 4). I would rather have Toppin play the 3. Toppin is 32-72 FG, 7-29 3P & 10-18 FT. Long is 11-40 FG, 3-10 3P, 9-14 FT.

Getting 18 minutes off the bench. Mediocre shooting #s.
