Potential Transfer Target: Joe Coleman

So today on Twitter, I saw from @HoopmanX that the Terps are interested in former Minnesota SG Joe Coleman, nephew of Ben Coleman, former Terps alum. Like many of you I’m sure, I had never heard of this guy before. However, I watched this video and came away pretty impressed. Now I’m aware that highlight tapes only show the best parts of a player’s game, but I thought he did show good ball handling and exceptional shooting. He averaged 8.3 ppg in 26.3 minutes per game, which is pretty similar to Dez’s numbers at Xavier (9.8 ppg and 26.1 minutes per game). Other than that, don’t know too much about the kid. In my opinion, I’m not sure how much Turge will really pursue. We need bodies now, and the fact that he’d have to sit out would just add to a potentially really crowded backcourt for 2014. But as @HoopmanX said, we only have 9 scholly players this year and that could add depth for practice as Smo did this year. Thoughts on the potential transfer target?
