Evan Buckley was at the game last night to watch the Dukes.  He is a 6'2" hard nose point guard/shooting guard who can really distribute and score.  He has the ability to play for Carry at the point as well as playing with him at the SG position.  If a scholarship opens up this is the type of kid I want.

Any new guards must, must, must be able to confidently/competently run the show & have outstanding accuracy from deep. With the current roster these traits are more important than awesome length & athleticism.

Evan looks more like a 2 guard. He looks like he can shoot but I don't see the penetrating quickness and dish off passing a good point guard uses to set up an offense. Of course, drawing legitimate impressions from a short one game highlight video makes my opinion nothing more than a first impression
 

If he has a high basketball IQ, understands game flows, isnt worried about highlight clips, knows when to push on gas and when to apply the brakes, then get him here.  We need someone who can be a coach on the court and not throw 40 ft alley oops or shoot 3s on fast breaks.  

Duquesne Head Coach Keith Dambrot will be in Ashburn this afternoon to do a in home visit with Stone Bridge 2019 PG Evan Buckley.  One of the top available PG in the country.

Interesting.  KD might already know the guys who are leaving the program.  Or he might just want to keep in good standing with this kid in case enough leave that a spot opens up.
To add Maceo, Ellis and Swingle(RS), plus this kid would be a pretty solid roster boost next year.

This kid looks like the kind of player that you see on ESPN on a tuesday night championship week game dropping 25 pts in the conference finals. 

I'm sure some here will question his game tho, the Duquesne Debbie Downers.  

townsonkid, personally, I place very little stock in these highlight reels. Most of them are offensive highlight reels showcasing scoring talent, sometimes against weak competition. Just go back through this recruiting page and check out some of the videos along with comments on our recruits. They are nice to see, but nothing more than that to me.  The only thing that matters is whether Dambrot and staff think the young man can play at this level, help the program and represent Duquesne well. It looks like they feel that way about Evan Buckley.

TDM dropped 30 @ GMU. He can also penetrate & dish.I prefer more athletic & taller guards who can break down a defense. If I was this kid I would go to Bucknell a great program & location. Keep TDM he clearly can play 1 or 2. Guards are a dime a dozen getting the center aircraft carrier is the program changer. Look at the Bonnie’s & Dayton. Hopelly the USS Ellis docks on the bluff and steps up next season.
