What do all those players have in common? They are all Hurley's recruits.To be fair, he hasn't looked like this all year, but today he was great and coach played him most of the game. Sanogo Bouknight Martin Jackson and Cole/Gaff is a pretty sick lineup moving forward.
He played good the first game of the season, got in foul trouble immediately in the second game and played very few minutes in the 3rd and 4th game before he got hurt. He’s a unique type of player that needs extended minutes. Today was very encouragingTo be fair, he hasn't looked like this all year, but today he was great and coach played him most of the game.

We all love the seniors. They've all given us some great moments in their careers. Whaley has improved and always hustles. Polley has had some big games. Josh is useful in stretches.
I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion with some, but the guys left over from Ollie's time here are not guys who should be playing big minutes on a winning team. They're useful You need more talent and Hurley is bringing that in. No matter what happens this season, the future is bright. I'm convinced of that.
I say this in all sincerity. The least impressive part of his game was the follow dunk. I mean that makes me drool , but I was more impressed with just how solid he was within the team schemes on both ends, he pulled some boards , he had great court vision on offensive end and played with fantastic defensive, solid energy especially at the front of the press. All those things were why he didn’t get minutes before injury. We need him to be solid on both ends so he can be on floor to have a chance at that follow dunk. He was that today and it makes me happy.To be fair, he hasn't looked like this all year, but today he was great and coach played him most of the game.

We're going to hold you to that coach...

Well maybe they shouldn't be playing big minutes either. Can't have 13 guys playing starters minutes.Well Adams and Cole are Huey recruits and seem to struggle too.

Great point. That dunk is like watching a HS mixtape of highlights, but not getting the real measure of the player. Once Dre gets his feet under him he can literally impact the game in so many other ways, that the highlight dunks will come.I say this in all sincerity.

Couldn't agree more.guys left over from Ollie's time here are not guys who should be playing big minutes on a winning team.
BYers have been complaining about his stroke .Was open. Never hesitated. Took the shot with confidence---Like he did frequently in HS.I've been #giggetygiggetygoo on Andre Jackson since signing day. Today was amazing. That high-arcing trey...dayum!!
Yes unpopular because Whaley needs to play.What do all those players have in common? They are all Hurley's recruits.

That 3 looked pretty good. If he ever becomes a competent shooter. MY GOD
His vision is off the charts. He’s a natural. Smooth, in the right places, and sees the floor. Some of his passes were not flashy but very special (haven’t seen any others make them)I say this in all sincerity. The least impressive part of his game was the follow dunk.

I think he's been pretty good on defense and he protects the rim so he definitely helps there.Yes unpopular because Whaley needs to play.
Without looking I'll guess he's averaging 8 and 6, double figures 3 timesI think he's been pretty good on defense and he protects the rim so he definitely helps there.
Here are his season stats. Without looking, how many times do you think he's scored double digits? How many ppg is he averaging? How many rpg? He's useful. He's just limited so I'm not sure he warrants playing 30 mpg. But I also don't think he's one of the major issues the team has had either.
