Not sure if he'll be immediately eligible, but its nice to see a local kid back home and evidently a very good player.

You'll have to click basketball and then roster to get it to come up.

Having trouble getting this to go through, but TU accepted a transfer, Curran Scott, from Edmond that played last year at Charlotte. He's a sharpshooter who is in the 40% from 3 point range. 6-4 guard/Small F. Mark Price was the coach at UNCC.

He had good 3 pt. accuracy but not a lot of volume to that statistic. Hopefully the year off will help him focus on upping his defensive ability while he practices with our squad.

Curran is a very, very good offensive player. He has a full range of skills and shoots exceptionally well from the line. He has a great pull up jumper, isn't afraid of contact, and can stroke the 3 pretty well too. He didn't shoot many 3's the first half of the season and wasn't known as a shooter in high school, but Mark Price loves the 3, so he probably coached up Curran's shot pretty well and gave him confidence to shoot more 3's in conference play.

Not a great defensive player though, so the year off could certainly help him there.

Scott should have made the all freshmen list in CUSA in my opinion, but we already had two guards make the team and there was no way they were going to give us 3 out of 5 spots. I hate to see him go, but I'm not surprised. All the recruiting gurus had him pegged to go to Tulsa originally anyway.. Tulsa and some other lesser school were his final 2. Then we hired Mark Price, Price called him, and he committed to us without ever seeing the campus or meeting coach in person. I worried he would get homesick and that appears to have happened.

Niner National, thanks for your thoughts. Stop by anytime.

In the league we play in, we need the three point shooters and good FT shooters. It sounds like he'll help immediately. And its also nice to have an OK kid back in the state as well. We are going to rebuild next year and maybe the year after and from what we hear he will be made to order for our offense.

Thanks again. And good luck.

He should definitely contribute immediately, even in a better league.

He put up 30 points against UAB and they were no scrub team. He scored 15 points or better in about half his games this year I think.

Thanks for the well wishes. We'll be fine at the guard position, even with the loss of a player of Curran's caliber. We return 3 very good guards and add a 4 star guard (247 ranking, 3 star on the other services) this year. Our key to a successful season won't be production from the guard spot because that is a guarantee, it will be from impact players in the post...and we're still waiting to get some of those.

Good luck to the Golden Hurricanes as well.
