Checks all the boxes we need. Older (junior), double digit scorer at the D1 level. North of 35% from 3, 85% from the line. 2nd double digit d1 scorer signed. Very good addition on paper.

In the recent NCAA Tourney, Brown scored 18 points on 6-10 FG shooting and 4-8 from 3-point land against UNC. Not a bad night against the Tar Heels.

We are in real need of shooters right now. J Holloway shot 27.3% from deep last season. Of our two portal additions, C. Holloway shot 33.9% (although you would not necessarily expect a PF to be highly efficient from there) and Brown shot 36.1%.
Compare that to losing Campbell (47.9%), Staton-McCray (41.3%) and Achor (43.5%).
One key to our success last season is that we were fifth in the nation in 3 FG% at over 39% and 46th in 3 FGA. In other words, we shot a lot of threes and we connected on a high rate. Hopefully a lot of these guys that will hit the floor next year will have improved their three point shooting over the course of the offseason.

I think the shooters will be good this year. Bucky's system leads to open 3's. So I will be interested to see if the transfers 3 point percentage goes up at Samford. I don't think Holloway is a shooter at all. So I doubt his goes up. Maybe a hair. Hopefully enough that the other team has to respect his shooting.

Rumor has it, Samford is expected to announce a transfer from a P5 school today. A player with All-SoCon type potentialđź‘€
