2018 Grad Transfer Connor Cashaw (Commit)

Postby WBR Tom » Thu Jun 07, 2018 11:13 am



BOOM.

Cashaw averaged 15.5 points and 7.1 boards a game for Rice last year; his shooting percentages to get those 15 points aren't amazing (39.8% overall, 31.9% from three) but the 7 rebounds a game, 40 steals, and positive assist-to-turnover ratio are hard to ignore. Good stuff.

Jays recruited him a bit out of high school, where he was teammates with Jalen Brunson. Great pickup this late -- and way under the radar. There had been rumors swirling about him being available, and about CU being interested, for the last week or so but the staff managed to keep it on the super-secret-DL so no other schools tried to poach him. There was not one social media post, or media report, about him either being available as a grad transfer or about his interest in CU. No drama with pitting schools against one another, or list of final candidates, nothing. He visited over the weekend but the couple of people outside of the staff who knew about it were sworn to secrecy. A player of Cashaw's ability, this late in the summer, would have had dozens of suitors if anyone but Creighton knew he was transferring.

Looks like it worked :lol:

Sweet! good find Polyfro.

we badly needed a player for depth and he looks like a talented guy with good size.

7 RPG, good a:to ratio, and 15 PPG.

Looks like his FG% dropped from a huge workload with very little help around him. He averaged more mins than any Jay last season and lead his team in shots attempted by over 100 while also leading the team in rebounding and tied for the assist lead. I would imagine he will be a lot more efficient with better teammates and less of a weight on his shoulder.

6’ 5 shooting guard who average 7 boards a game? Seems like a solid get at this stage. Looks like he was also near the top 10 in ast/to ratio in Rice history. Hoping he can provide a steady presence on a relatively young team.

Nice get, especially this late in the game. All academic team as well and team captain of Rice's team.

Great stealth pickup. C'mon Reid! ;)
