Which roster add will have the biggest impact?

Ryan Taylor

go aces

Those type of numbers would put him in the running for MVC POY and in the conversation for National award lists.

More than doubling his output for the year, in the same number of minutes, in a tougher league, seems pretty reasonable.

The MAC has had a better conference RPI each of the last two years according to CBS.

Early reports seem to indicate Taylor is the next in line of volume scorers at UE. I don't think him averaging over 15 a game is unreasonable. I would doubt we see that kind of production from him in terms of rebounds or assists.

Did some research to put this into perspective.

If Ryan Taylor goes for 15+ ppg, 5 apg, and 6 rb per game.

Notables:
2015-2016:
MVC POY Fred Van Vleet - 12.2 pts, 5.5 apg, 3.2 rb
Ron Baker - 14.0 ppg, 3.2 apg, 4.8 rb
Wes Washpun - 14.2 ppg, 5.3 APG, 4.1 rb
Anthony Beane - 19.3 ppg, 1.8 apg, 3.8 rb
DJ Balentine - 20.5 ppg, 4.4 apg, 3.3 rb

2014-2015
Ron Baker - 14.7 ppg, 2.5 APG, 4.5 rb
FVV - 13.6, 5.2 apg, 4.5 rb
MVC POY Seth Tuttle - 15.3 ppg, 3.3 apg, 6.9 rb

2013-2014
Cleanthony Early - 16.4 ppg, .8 apg, 5.9 rb
Ron Baker - 13.1 ppg, 3.1 apg, 3.8 rb
MVC POY FVV - 11.6 ppg, 5.4 apg, 3.9 rb
Seth Tuttle - 15.4 ppg, 2.3 apg, 8.0 rb

Not a single player in those past 3 years which includes 3 people that have played (or will play) in the NBA, and several others that are some great players hit 15 ppg, 5apg, and 6 rb.

It is overly optimistic. I believe he is capable of the 15 ppg. The other categories probably not.

Posting this with having never seen Ryan Taylor play so it is just a WAG (Wild Ass Guess) made with Purple tinted glasses firmly on the noggin.

If he is the designated UE screen runner I think numbers of:

15.0 PPG & 2,5 APG are realistic.

I believe he is taller than Colt Ryan and definitely DJ Ballentine so rebounds might be slightly higher say 3.5 RPG plus add the fact that E-Mo won't be there grab the bulk on Defensive Boards like in the past few seasons so a few more will be available to all and hopefully UE realizes it will have to be a team crash the board effort.

DJ Clayton for ISUr (fills DAPs role)

[Wufan]

Well, somebody for the Aces will average more than 15 per game. Only twice in Marty's tenure has he failed to have a player average 15+ ppg (Ely with 14.4 in year one and Ryan with 14.5 as a sophomore).

[BuBrave2006]

Someone has to score for Evansville, why can't it be Taylor?

Seriously though, they only have one returning player that played any meaningful minutes...ONE!

I'm guessing Taylor puts up some numbers.

[siudawgs]

Thik Bol was an excellent shot-blocker at the JUCO level and will see major minutes for a thin SIU frontcourt that lost Bola Olaniyan to 'Bama. Don't think Bol has a lot of offensive game, sadly.
The other newcomer Saluki fans are most excited about is true freshman PG Aaron Cook, seemingly one of the best recruits of the Hinson era (short list). Cook will likely back up senior Mike Rodriguez unless something weird happens as the season unfolds.
