This dude just committed. Good stats for a freshman and a good shooter. I'm happy about it.

I'd take some good news at this point!

I think this is an excellent get. Sprinkle has seen him play too..

Good get. Defense is going to be elite for this team.

Don’t know much about this kid, but commits like this are the golden goose. Solid freshman year stats, tons of eligibility left, and has used his one free transfer to come here, so not a flight risk until he graduates.

This type of recruit is the best for USU to sign.

Look at his 3 pt shooting percentage. 44%

Are we allowed to have players on the team above 200 lbs? I'm shocked

Yep love this kind of transfer, great job Sprinkle and staff. Size and athleticism and he can shoot. These are the kinds of guys we need. Keep them coming Coach

You are spot on, he now has to wait 3 years to transfer without losing sitting out a year. I know nothing of him other than he was the freshman of the year in the Big Sky. I like his rebounding numbers and 3pt shooting % for his size. I also like that he has good size at 220 pounds.

We finally got Nigel here. Just with a different last name.

slcagg · Post by **slcagg** » April 17th, 2023, 3:55 pm

Is he a wing or inside guy?

This is what I’m wondering. We need some of each so doesn’t much matter but just wondering if he’ll be competition for Zee at the 3 or if he’ll slide into Funk’s role as a stretch 4.

Aggie84025 · Post by **Aggie84025** » April 17th, 2023, 4:00 pm

Where can one look to see what interest from other teams he was receiving in the transfer portal?

True, Idaho played a really weak schedule. He did well against the better Big Sky teams but never did play a MW or a P6 game all year. Shooting stats tend to translate though and the kid can shoot and is built well enough to handle the physicality. I think he’ll do just fine.

For sure has potential. I'll be interested to see how he pans out, but he isn't a game changing first option yet. Excited to see more pieces added.

Spuds, was Meeks a player that you were sad about his transfer away from Nevada or were you glad to see him leave?

This feels like a massive get.

He had some troublesome knees which kept him out of the lineup from time to time. He was a good 3 point guy at NV though not so great at USF. Pretty good rebounder..Maybe a step slow on defense.

Players come and go..I was pretty neutral about his leaving or staying.
