Wes Flanigan brought in Rayjon Tucker, Anthony Black and Jaizec Lottie late in the recruiting process. (I still cannot figure out who is on scholarship and who is not.) Those three might just make the difference between a total "rebuilding" year and a decently competitive season. (Rebuilding from sub-.500 is not much, but that is where we are, sad to say.)
Lottie looks like the real deal, and with the loss of Watkins and the ballooning weight of Pippins we were desperate for a point guard. Black played at a low level, so there is no telling how much he can contribute, but he put up good numbers at Arkansas Baptist and will at least provide some depth.
Tucker did not put up big numbers, but FGCU has had a lot of firepower in recent years, and he did shoot 45% from the arc, which we badly needed. He will have a year to get accustomed to our system and to prove that he left his off-court baggage in Florida.
