You rang? I've got this in a spreadsheet, that I'll dig up later. I missed this when it was originally posted.

Before the numbers come out, I am going with the under on most of these current stats. Peyton has been great. Having two 1st and 2nd year players like JAG and Kellan seems unusually fortunate for the team.

Take out Peyton and see what happens.

Didn't Droney start every game of his freshman year?

I'd like to have a point guard who plays like that guy for the Warriors.

Wasn't there some concern among that guy's college fan base when he had to move from shooting guard to point?

And speaking of Droney, not only did he start every game as a freshman, he became a pretty good point guard by his senior year.

Just a quick reminder, Jack Gibbs didn’t start a game as a freshman and came off the bench and averaged only 20 minutes a game… I daresay Kellan has the opportunity to surpass Jack’s career.

I don't think anyone is questioning his talent, he clearly has a chance to be an all time davidson great without question. However, many here seem to want a true point guard; Kellan averages under 2 assists a game. Kellan has shown a willingness to drive but I think its completely fair for people to want a shifty/quick guard who creates for others before himself.

Grady is still just a freshman. He will be amazing before he is done.

No one is arguing this point; he is already amazing (one of our best players). I'm just saying I understnd why some want a true point guard. Grady isn't used as a pass first point guard by the way nor should he. His incredible talents are accentuated by how we use him now. He plays alot like Paul Pierce instead of Chris Paul, a focal point but not a floor general.

We didn't have a true point guard in 2014-2015 and things worked out okay.

I may be wrong but out offensive system seems to de-emphasize the need for a dominant ball handler.

I'm with BFD and WTF ( ) we can get by without a point guard because our offensive system doesn't require one.

We don't NEED no stinkin Sorrentino.

The switch was more to give him a shot at the NBA than to help the college team that year.

It's sort of unfair, but compare the year before with JRich as PG and SC30 as SG vs. his last year when he was the PG.

Haha, yes he was great. Bruno!

You can always use a Sorrentino; he could damn well hit a cutter.

He was similar to Jason Richards. He was quick enough to beat most people off the dribble and was a good jumper shooter. He was 5'10" at a time small quick guards were popular, Monte Towe, e.g.

For two years, '72-'73 and '73-'74, we had 2 very good point guards with Bruno and Jay.

Gerg's teammate Baron Hill was a similar point guard to Sorrentino, except he had bigger wad in his wallet.

Excellent.

Please note that prior to 2008 I am only showing "rough" years on this chart. I have the data for every year, but it's cumbersome enough to present it this way.

All stats for players who did not return for reasons including graduation, transfer or leaving for the NBA.
My apologies to anyone who is colorblind. I could post the tabular form if there is a desire to see that.

Really interesting stuff, guys, but can we keep this thread to actual recruiting updates? Does anyone have anything new?
