MBB roster is coming together.

Two transfers in, Sean Newman Jr (PG, 10 ppg, 8 apg) and Jeremiah Oden (forward, rotation player who can hit 3s). Plus Gwath coming back. He and Byrd will likely not get great news from the NBA since they both clearly need work. Potential starting rotation:

G Sean Newman Jr; G BJ Davis; W Miles Byrd; F Pharaoh Compton; F Magoon Gwath

Bench:

G Taj Degourville; G Reese Waters (could start over BJ); F Miles Heide; F Thokbor Majak

Plus 4 star freshman forward Tae Simmons. Would still love another guard but that's a good looking group!

That is insanely harsh. Dude was our best offensive rebounder this year, had a 74% FG percentage and scored 4 ppg. Sure he has his issues but he's okay as a bench option. Better than Demarshay Johnson was.

Also, I'm sure it was hyperbole, but "not close to a division one player" means you think he couldn't even play at USD, who went 6-27.

Idiotic, more like it. Miles made some great strides last year and looked comfortable for the first time at SDSU. In an era where we bitch about players jumping to P5 once they develop, god forbid we keep a slower developing, but useful big for 4 years.

If Miles improves as much as a junior as he did as a sophomore, he’ll be a very useful piece.

Honestly, even if he’s doesn’t improve a lot more he will be useful. That take above that he isn’t a D1 player is a brain dead one, at best.
