With transfers from Division II and Junior College programs, Bruce Pearl is taking a new approach to building a roster.
Jones isn’t going to be as good a defender as Jasper was, Pearl said, but he may bring better offense because of his shooting. Jones averaged more than 20 points per game last season at FIU. Those stats matter more to Pearl than the conference he played in.
What he found in Baker-Mazara is a 6-foot-7 forward who, when playing at a junior college, stood out as one of the best players at that level. Baker-Mazara has previously played in Division I with San Diego State and Duquesne. Certainly, this level is still a jump, and one he’ll need to make quickly.
Where Holloway does immediately fit into this experiment of new pieces is his work ethic. Pearl said Holloway is a “gym rat” and that as a whole, this may be the hardest working team he’s ever had. “He probably shoots it as well or better than any of them,” Pearl said. “He’s got another gear. He’s probably physically a little farther ahead than some of the freshman point guards that we’ve had that have come in and done well.”
