Adding to your stat list, averaged 17.9 minuets a game and assist stats aren't very good for the his playing timeOriginally posted by knights1212:
This kid appears to have only played 2 years at Kansas State so he would have to sit out. He averaged 5.2 ppg but only 1.7 assists per game. That is not many assists for a true point guard. I would rather have Otis Livingston as a back up point guard who averaged over 8 assists per game and could play immediately and is almost automatic on foul shots.
The starting point guard averaged 3.3 assist per game. Maybe it just the nature of their offense. Seems like the assists were spread throughout the team.Originally posted by MADHAT1:

here's an article about his leaving that had in it:" He was arguably the best player on the floor in both the KU and Iowa State upsets"

1.7 assists per game in 17.9 mpg is a solid number. This is college, not pro basketball. And the A-TO ratio also is solid. I know little about the player, just commenting on the numbers.Originally posted by knights1212:

A guy from Kansas State isn't coming here to be a backup.Originally posted by higgins3:
Like others said, he was not the starting pg so he did not have starter minutes.He would sit a year.
I think he'd be a good back up. Who knows how long Sanders will stay. I think Sanders stays 2-3 years.
Agree , but might feel he has a good shot being RU's starting PG after sitting a year.Originally posted by essexknight:
No one transfers with the idea to be a backup. Everyone wants to start or at least play major minutes, and successful players will "fight" for their minutes. I'm sure Nigel is no different. Honestly, I'm not sure I would want a guy who would settle for being a seldom used backup. I like the fact that Nigel has played against tough competition and has experience. It won't be a shock for him to play at this level.
that's what impresses me about this kid. Big games against big opponents but then that all raises the question as to why the overall struggle finding his minutesOriginally posted by ruman:
he played big against big teams - thats not a backup at RU

Definitely something that we could use in the big tenOriginally posted by seels2662:
The one intriguing thing to me was that just about all of this best games were when they were playing top competition....as if he stepped up his game against the best.
20 points vs. # 8 Kansas
17 points vs.#12 Iowa State
14 points vs. #17 WVU
10 points in just 15 minutes against #25 Texas
6 points in just 17 minutes against #3 Arizona

It could be if Corey's as good as advertised. Besides, we don't really have a backup PG, so getting one sometime would be nice even if he does have to sit out the year.Originally posted by ruman:

So a player who has proven it in college is definitely not better than one who has yet to make it to college?Originally posted by higgins3:
You guys are right, he doesn't have to be a backup. Rutgers could run 3 guards. Although at the 2 position, 6 1 is a little small.Still, he could be a two. Williams is probably 6 foot. There is a reason guys like him are taking long shots. Johnson is not taking Corey Sanders spot and Sanders will be here for 2 years i think.
Seems to be a good player and solid in clutch situations. EJ got on him really quickly and must think highly of him.
I agree, way more. Myles Mack averaged 9.8 was a freshmen in 26 minutes per game. Sanders has more offensive talent. I think 14 is about right, maybe more.Originally posted by cyrock3:
Sanders will average way more than 8ppg when he makes it here...
After all, who on the team can tell him not to shoot?
