This is a very underwhelming signing especially after the hype on these boards about a big JUCO player from the midwest ... I think we all thought it would be someone with the credentials of J.R. Patrick and hopefully better health. This kid sounds like a body off the bench with 5 fouls to burn.

Tristan doesn't come in as a heralded JC AA ... and JR was a great get in terms of a quality individual who if able to play full strength both seasons would have made the Broncos a team to be reconded with ....

all that being said I have to give the coaches their due ... I know that LP made at least one trip to see Tristan play ... and although he was off the bench he did play in a really tough league, for a really good team and lead that team in Blocks with limited time ... his 12 minutes in the Regional semis were against the ZAG's JUCO they are so high on ... and Mr. B was for all intents and purposes shutdown by Tristan's team ... don't know what defense he brings but I am sure it is some ...

his rebounds in that game were OFFENSIVE and Mr. B was surely in there when that happened (Batista played 39 min) and although "Tree"'s not a very good FT shooter (and probably has no 3PT game) he seems to be able to find the basket when it counts and takes the "high percentage" shots ... and Lord knows we could have used that more than a couple of times this past year ...

so maybe he's not the "MAN" we (and every program in America) would love to see ... I'm hoping he can contribute and with Perkins and Travis I am liking the hussle factor he most likely can contribute ...

we definitely need consistant point production ... at least from someone EVERY night ... and like others have mentioned a "true" PG ...

I'm no talent "scout" ... although I may know it when I see it displayed ... actually I would like to get to see a little more of Graham Neuberger ... yah he at times looked a little (or a lot) lost out there but in the end of (I think) the USF tourney game he had some flashes of true gym-rat style ... a rebound, and an assist (should have had two except for a defensive foul) and all in a couple of minutes ... and seemingly more speed than Kyle ...

what say you all ???

Hard to find complete stats on Tristan or the Coffeyville Ravens ...

but like you say 6ppg in JC is not a lot ... must be some reason the coaches were willing to go to Kansas for a player

from what I can find it appears that Tristan was mostly??? a role??? player (non-starter with about 10-12 minutes of PT) he did have multiple double-digit scoring games (at least four) and led or shared scoring honor on at least a couple of occasions ... on a couple of occasions he scored the go-ahead baskets in come-from-behind wins ...

at 6-8 he was the tallest member of his team so I would imagine his "role" at SCU will be different than at Coffeyville ... which did place 5th in the National JC tourney ... so this was no slouch team he was playing on ... and behind slouch players

I am guessing that there is more here than 6ppg and 5 fouls it appears his numbers are about the same as Jim Howell's in about half the time (the only negative were the about 3 PF's per game in limited minutes) ... I would say that is something that was part of the role ... or the reason he didn't get as much PT ... in either case that might be part of what needs to be worked on ... but personally I would prefer to have a Travis back down a bit than try and "teach" someone to be more aggressive ... if he can produce say 12ppg & 8rbs in 20-25 min that would be very nice
