I think this guy is a defensive liability and at best an average scorer. If you have to wait two years to get those numbers you are better off not having him.
Players like that will keep you at D+ not improve it.
I disagree with that completely. No idea what the conference is like as far as population, but most times at D1 the conferences are empty and youre going to get to play Sims in conference and you can schedule them out of conference for a season or two so you can win games and get off of D+
Like someone else said, in a big 6 conference the guy is a liability for several reasons. in a low or mid major conference where you can't get 3 or 4 studs every recruiting period you have to hedge your bets and go after 1 or 2 real good guys and then pick up 1 or 2 that can develop and fill roles. This is a guy that can do that. I've taken guys like this when I've started at low prestige D1 programs and it hasn't hurt me one bit.
