     Greyson Kelley is a curious choice.  There are hundreds of Division I players remaining in the transfer portal and Calhoun selected a 6'1" guard from a 5-23 Division II team.  Kelley does not have a demonstrated history of sustained success.  He averaged 2.3 points per game in 2018 - 2019. 

     Kelley can shoot.  He was a 91% free throw shooter over a large sample size in 2019 - 2020.  On the other hand, his assist to turnover ratio was poor, which suggests he is not much of a ball handler.

     Coach must know something not apparent from the record.  He may feel a pure shooter is necessary to balance a team of slashers and grinders.  Calhoun recruited Kendall Hampton a couple of years ago for the same role.

The made FT's would be nice. How many losses could have been reversed by making more FT's?

Great comparison.   Hampton too wasn't a ball handler and got his from their weave offense.   Look for Kelly in that role.   It's not great that he played on a 5 win D2 team but his shooting percentages are impressive.  Last year coach had a commit from a guy who was graduate transfer from a lower division school and it's still a mystery to me of what happen to him.

Tyler Foster has entered the portal on the men's side.

I thought Foster had some potential in non-conference games, but really wasn't used during Horizon League.  Played a total of 20 minutes in league games with 12 of those coming in the blowout loss to NKU.  Didn't even play in the last 12 games.
