Jaden Daughtry - Transfer Commit - 2 years of Eligibility

[*23*]

I made that comp too, but think Daughtry looks a bit more skilled, and more variety to his game.

I think Kenny Wood would be a closer comp, but not sure until he finishes getting in playing shape.

Early on I thought the player comparison for Daughtry was Cayo. Definitely not the correct player type. The closest match since I have restarted watching Spider basketball is a leaner Derrick Williams. Gong to be a fun player to watch.

Yes, he reminds me of D-Will as well. Think he should be sliding into the starting line-up once he is fully back up to speed from his offseason medical issues.

His build reminds me of dwill. He seems quicker though

I saw at least a few ECU guys step out of his way to avoid getting bowled over. An intimidating presence when he gets momentum toward the basket for sure.

That might have also been due to the number of fouls everyone had

 

[Kneepad McKinney]

I got Mike Hodges as the comp so far. I'm liking JD's game

Good piece on Daughtry and his medical issue...

Really nice piece

That's scary. I kind of figured it was not something very straightforward with the lack of info and timelines earlier. Hope he can continue on without issue. I think it is encouraging that he has played two full seasons already.

Really nice piece

Had a chance to speak with JD preseason, even though brief it was clear he appreciated the opportunity he had. Pulling and praying for him and his success.

Could be nothing, but JD just announced he signed with a NIL agency.

practically whether we agree or not, probably all players either need an agent unless they have a family/friend figure with a law degree or savvy with AI to ensure contracts are understood etc - I hope he returns but not sure ...

 

[Spiderguy]

I’d be curious what pct the agency makes off of athletes.

Not sure AI is at a point where you can trust it for legal advice

Um - at least for me it is for contract reviews for basic agreements versus hourly attorney fees - no offense to our SpiderLaw(s) ..

I thought trial attorneys had tried that with AI citing cases that didn’t exist?

 

[sman]

there's precedent for NIL agreements ... even at UR and Daughtry already had one.
could use an agent to determine your worth.
but I think this means he's leaving.

Agree on the leaving part. The whole piece reads like a promo piece so he is selling. Possible its to us, but seems unlikely

Why wouldn't he leave? He played 16 minutes a game on a 5-14 A10 team that started 4 guards and desperately needed size on the floor. If he couldn't get more than 16 minutes this year, how would he even get that next year, when we hopefully add some needed size.

Same with Thomas IMO. We started 4 guards and he wasn't one of them, and only averaged 14 mpg. I don't expect more minutes for either player next year if they stayed, and they had to be pretty frustrated overall this year.
