But you risk starting the cycle over again by bringing in another guy. An existing player would probably transfer and you're back where you started. It would be harder to bring in a guy decent but not good enough to start. You're risking bringing in a guy that's unplayable.

Keep the guards you have, pull ahead and close on a very good portal big. Then fill the wing with a guy that can do secondary ball handling. That would be the roster

---

This. And develop that secondary ball-handling skill in Nunn during the offseason. Nunn doesn't have to be a PG or even close to one, but can be someone with the starting unit who can at least bring it up and initiate half court offense once in a while to take some of the pressure off the other guards.

---

Exactly. We finally get a real offseason with a group of decent players. If Nunn relentlessly worked ball handling and defensive footwork/movement all summer he could be a really good college player.

---

There's no reason to believe he didn't work that last year either when we were arguably even more thin on point guards, with only one viable guy on the roster to get minutes.

I think Nunn will (hopefully) get better at defense, but i didnt' see anything in his game last year that says he's got potential to develop at the point.

---

He never had an offseason after actually playing at the high D1 level. Makes a difference and can often take a player to another level.

I see decent potential but it would take a talented teacher to get it out of him. We didn't have that on the defensive end. Hopefully we correct that.

Almost every multi-year transfer we've had in the Scott Drew era has gotten much better in Year 2 than he was in Year 1. The extra year in the program definitely makes a difference.

I am somewhat surprised he is leaving. If you want to develop as a player and person, you just left the ideal place for that to happen. I guess the allure of playing time was too great.

I'm not 3 reasons.

1) Jakus recruited him so it will be a comfortable move.

2) The best development is getting significant play time. This isn't just playtime means more development if you're a starter or higher up in the rotation the practice is going to be more meaningful for you. At baylor he's just not going to get much playtime next year unless someone gets injured.

3) These kids come to play and the way the sport is set up now you're not going to convince a 4 star recruit to waste multiple years of eligibility on the bench. If they're a mature kid who gets it you can probably get them to sit one, but definitely not two, there are too many open positions with play time.

Little seems like a great guy and I'm bummed we're losing him, but we all know he's wasn't going to be in the 8 man rotation next year barring injury. This is going to be his best opportunity to get quality minutes at a quality program, and then who knows if he blows up he'll be able to leave FAU and go anywhere and start, even Baylor lol.

I'm with you. I don't blame him for leaving at all. He could and likely would have developed by staying. But he'll accelerate that process by going somewhere he can play.

I wish him nothing but luck. I hope he gets what he's looking for at his next stop.
