Nichols' Stats

[Phantom Warrior]

Last year Nichols finished third in scoring in the AAC for conference games (14.9 ppg) and sixth in rebounding (6.6 rpg). He was eighth in field goal percentage (52%). He was second in blocked shots (3.4 bpg). And he was a SOPHOMORE!

Good to very good efficiency numbers on offense, to go along with being an elite defensive player. Easily the best available transfer prospect during this entire period, and it looks like Marquette is as good of shape as anyone to land him. This could be a major piece in ensuring that Wojo takes the Marquette program where many of us hope and want him to take it.

This would be a great get for MU and Wojo. Everyone realizes there is a chance Henry leaves after his freshman year, but if I were wagering I would bet on at least 2 years. The 16-17 team's potential would be very high if Nichols commits to MU.

I think it's greater than 50% that Henry goes 1 and done

You're not alone there. It would be nice to have some Hank Insurance waiting in the wings to keep us whole should he do what we expect. If not, that's a pretty good team in two years.

If Ellenson doesn't go pro that means he didn't live up to expectations, which then means Nichols would likely be better anyhow... Because if Ellenson averages 13 and 8 he is gone...

If he does not, it could also be due to injury.

True, didn't think of that.

Or he feels he'd get a better draft position the next season and wants to leave when his brother graduates.

It's been well stated in many places that if Henry is good enough he will be gone, the pull of his brother here won't be the reason he stays for year two. He wants to be one and done, the question is if he is good enough, and can avoid injury. That said, if he has a good freshman year and is projected for the lottery he is gone, as he should be.
