BG has brought in their 5th transfer, giving them 9 players coming back for the next season. Obviously, there's still time for more. This young man is Da'Shawn Phillip, a 6'5" Junior G from the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore.
Phillip has one year left. (I'm pretty sure). He was MEAC All-Rookie as a freshman and third-team all-MEAC two years ago. He was improved last season. He went from 9.1 PPG to 9.8 PPG, but improved his 3FG shooting from 26% to 33%, which is about the D1 average. His turnover rate also improved significantly between the two years, despite playing more minutes. In fact he was 2nd in the MEAC in turnover rate and 6th in steals, while rarely fouling.
He had about a half-dozen D1 schools express interest in him in the portal.
Just a quick observation. Four of the five transfers that Simon has brought it have been guards, and it appears we are making an effort to be longer at that positon. (Spurgin is a different kind of long).
- Philip 6'5"
- Humphrey 6'4"
- Edwards 6'4"
- Thomas 6'0"
