Taylor Stafford (G/2014) of Eastern Arizona College has committed to Evansville.

I don't know anything about the kid, but yet another guard?

Big time scorer in juco....undersized shooting guard.....or a shoot first point guard, not sure which. I know Drake looked at him, but not sure the Bulldogs ever offered.

He put up big time numbers.

I agree in that he doesn't seem to fit what the Aces need but I guess you never turn down good players.

Not knocking this kid or his talent, but this pickup is questionable. The aces needed a physical 3 or 4 guy with some athleticism. The kid from Villanova and DJ should be able to cover your wing scoring. Why add another guy who can do that when you have a glaring hole at the 3 and 4??

Because Marty had another Ace up his sleeve. :lol:

Congrats to the two Aces recruits.

ISU recruit DeVaugh Purcell, BU recruit Tramique Sutherland and Ind St recruit Tre Bennett were named HM All American.

Junco all American is the most confusing award. It is less about current ability and more about past speculation of ability.

It maybe for some just never understand the thinking. The Bears picked up a kid from The same Juco that averaged more points and rebounds a game, shot the ball better from the floor yet did not receive an all American selection.
