The leading scorer on Davidson was 6'0" Foster Loyer. They made the Tournament.

The second leading scorer on VCU was 6'1" Adrian Baldwin Jr. They made the Tournament.

Both Loyer and Baldwin were second team all-conference. 6'0" sophomore Yuri Collins from St. Louis was first team all-conference.

And next year's A-10 champion Loyola Chicago has a starting backcourt of 6'0' Braden Norris and 6'1' Marquise Kennedy.

Your contention that small guards can't have success in the A-10 is baloney.

And just where do you figure Loyola is going to find 6'8" high school point guards with college-ready bodies? If any exist, they are going to Duke or Kentucky, not Loyola.

Unlike you, I am not ready to completely abandon the model of bringing in high school recruits and developing them, physically and skill wise. Not all are going to transfer for immediate playing time. Some will see the bigger picture.

Weird segue to praise one short guard and then suggest an entire short backcourt would enjoy similar success.

I can kinda see the Baylor Hebb comparison. He had some slick moves too, but Harding's slick moves are executed at 78rpm while Hebb's were 33rpm. Harding is fast twitch personified.
