I'm all for going best player available for a final scholarship, and he looks like the kind of athlete and potential shutdown defender we lacked. Wonder if this gives Gollon a redshirt opportunity now.
I don't think Ohio can afford that luxury like they could with Dozier last season. Dozier was playing behind a bunch of guys so it was worth it because he might not see the floor much. But Gollon needs to get up to speed ASAP so he can spell Jaaron some minutes and come in and run point if Jaaron/Jordy are in foul trouble.
Plus, all indications are that Ohio is going to sign a PG in 2017. So basically if you redshirt Gollon, you've almost got a wasted scholarship for a year and then possibly 4 PGs next year if two newbies sign. If Gollon gets up to speed this summer, you won't need that.
Getting Culver is a major upgrade on the defensive end. Now at least Saul can sub offense/defense in late game situations with a combo of Culver and Laster to D up some guards. Stop dribble penetration, keep Tony and KK out of foul trouble, rinse and repeat.
