And people said I was crazy when I expected our backup guards in the portal to be worse than Gaffney.He's not amazing, but we're going to need bodies at this point.
Hurley prototype.
Is he worse than Gaffney?And people said I was crazy when I expected our backup guards in the portal to be worse than Gaffney.
He’s infinitely better than Gaffney. He was one of the best perimeter defenders in the ACC.Is he worse than Gaffney?
Then he won't be a backup here.He’s infinitely better than Gaffney. He was one of the best perimeter defenders in the ACC.
Posts like this make it so hard to follow the “no bashing players” rule. I don’t want to insult Gaffney, but pretty much anyone would be an upgrade on him at this point.Then he won't be a backup here.
If this is in response to Corey leaving, it's not worrisome. If this is because they aren't gaining traction with better guards in the portal and they are scrambling, then it is. Time will tell.This is worrisome.

Never saw a Pitt game this year, so I have no opinion. But we won't really know until the season starts, will we?He’s infinitely better than Gaffney. He was one of the best perimeter defenders in the ACC.
Thats not how the people on here operate. If we dont have 13 future lottery picks on our roster, we must clean houseWe have 5 open scholarships, people really need to recalibrate their expectations. There's gonna be 1-2 transfers who are not stars
It's about them reaching out to Odukale, he ain't the answer.If this is in response to Corey leaving, it's not worrisome. If this is because they aren't gaining traction with better guards in the portal and they are scrambling, then it is. Time will tell.
Hopefully they get Newton and Castle reclass is confirmed. That's a good start. I think Femi would be a solid 3rd guard if he was willing to take that role for a drop in PT.
That's kind of my point. If he's coming in to spell off the bench at a guard spot, great. If he's coming in to the the starter at 2, I would be concerned. Think he could be a solid piece, defender off the bench but agree he would likely be a liability shooting and not someone you'd want to start out of the gate since it would create issues for Sanogo.It's about them reaching out to Odukale, he ain't the answer.
It's okay if he's the 9th guy but we need studs. Newton is a good start, hopefully Castle is reclassifying, and we need Ramey or someone with the same profile. We have to remake like half the roster and it can't be seat fillers.
Yeah we need minimum 2 impact transfer/recruits/reclass. 3 and we're feeling pretty good heading into the season. This guy wouldn't count as impact, but if he's the 3rd, 4th, or 5th scholly we fill this summer, that's fine. Higher up that number, the better.It's about them reaching out to Odukale, he ain't the answer.

I’m not sure that we fill all 5. Potentially could bank 1 or 2.We have 5 open scholarships, people really need to recalibrate their expectations. There's gonna be 1-2 transfers who are not stars

I usually hate the idea of banking scholly, but now I even hate more using a scholly to prep a kid for college who transfers after his redshirt yearI’m not sure that we fill all 5. Potentially could bank 1 or 2.
Losing a recruit that we brought in a year early and our coach fawned over as recently as a week ago who had a wide open runway of playing time ahead of him is nothing but troubling.If this is in response to Corey leaving, it's not worrisome.

Not what I was talking about at all. I'm sure Corey is going to have a positive impact at this level and I would rather he stay here but he doesn't want to so that's his choice. Given how glowingly Hurley talked about him and the PT available it probably wasn't a basketball thing considering he was recruited during COVID so things were different from SOP.Losing a recruit that we brought in a year early and our coach fawned over as recently as a week ago who had a wide open runway of playing time ahead of him is nothing but troubling.
Still waiting for anyone to put a positive spin on this one
Of course it was a basketball thing. Stop reaching man and let’s just see how things play out.Not what I was talking about at all.

Fortunately, I think the staff will be able to find some guys that will at a minimum keep the team competitive but would have preferred Corey stayed at a minimum since it is an enjoyable part of CBB to watch guys grow and learn their stories, but alas it isn't meant to be so wish him the best of luck.
