Alijah Martin Committed To Gators

Gonna be a fun and interesting year in the back court

 

Good stuff!!!

 

don't forget about Aberdeen

 

I hope Denzel gets an opportunity to play extended minutes each game...he'll make mistakes early in the season but if Todd gives him a chance, he'll improve dramatically and be very solid at the end of the year.

He was improving towards the end of this year with the little time he played.

 

Winning!

 

This is shaping up to be potentially one of the best seasons we've ever had...
(minus earlier Final Four appearances and two Natty's of course).

 

This is huge. Martin is a baller.

 

Interesting comments from Eric about Denzel.
Think the feeling is that he's good off the bench, but not a starter.

 

Boom.
Goldie is a portal magician!

 

I take it that he's a PG? I also see four years of stats, but maybe the '20 season did not count due to covid? At any rate, we needed a guard and it appears we got a good one. Now we need a good wing or a good PF.

 

That's a great addition. No drop off at the point guard position next year.

 

What did he say? Didn’t see any mention on the front page article

 

He's a SG but realizes he needs to be a PG at the next level. CTG is giving him that opportunity due to his great defensive play.

 

what am I missing? Where was this announced?

 

You called it, Rick. We have 3 scholarships available, and at this point last year we hadn’t even started recruiting Pullin. Long way to go before the roster is finalized.

I still don’t see Martin as a one. Clayton for his career has greater usage and assist rates, and a lower turnover rate. People obsess over his turnovers against the press, but I think Clayton is every bit as likely to play the one as Martin. Aberdeen and Kublickas have opportunities to move into that spot. And you could always find some insurance in the portal.

Big picture, though: Martin can defend three positions, rebounds his position and exceptionally well, takes care of the ball, and can create for himself offensively. The first of those things will help us improve a major weakness a year ago (along with Chinyelu and Alexis). The latter three are exactly what that staff wants (rebounding rate, turnover rate, usage rate).

 

he is not a pg- or, at least, hasnt been to this point.
