Who was Malik Stith better than? I remember him being awful.
He did have a good game or two, but so did Phil Missere.
Heath Orvis?

Stith wasn't that bad
He was a backup player
He should have never been counted on for more than that

Stith was a quitter. When he quit the team, we had mad minutes available. That was Lavin's first year when we had Gift, Mo, D'Lo, PGIV, Sir Dom and I think one other. Jakar and Pelle didn't qualify, Nurideen quit after missing the free throws against Texas A&M, the coach's daughter was screaming as NL was on the free throw line and missed both.

We need another primary scoring option and a pure PG to spell Sheed next season.  I still love Mussini for the long term, but he probably cannot be counted on for 10 ppg.  Immediately eligible grad transfer seems like the only viable option.

Hey, if they hire Richmond and Terrence, we will have more guards on staff than on the roster.   :)

Seeing how Sampson is looking LSU bound (Miraculously I hope he changes his mind in a few minutes) a graduate transfer in the backcourt sounds ideal. Give us room for scholarships next season.

However, I would look at Lovett as a priority now.

Anyone still think the staff is not going to allow Jordan back?

Haha! We literally wouldn't have a big east quality guard on the roster

Has any team tried playing four forwards/centers before? Instead of the 3-4 guard lineup.


I'm just joking around.

If we have 5 more ships I have no problem giving 3 to fifth year seniors. Its a one year commitment then they are gone

Hopefully we get a visit from Nwamu

Don't panic guys, easier to find adequate guards than adequate big men.  Expecting ADR to have a solid year....two 7 footers and CO, may get some rebounds

The staff will sign at least two quality guards this class--one of those will have to be a pure PG.  Jordan and Balamou are not a terrible start with a very solid front court already in place.  Plenty of routes to take and two very creative recruiters in Slice and Matt A.

Lee is still my top target although that looks more unlikely every day.  I felt extremely confident Sampson was going to end up here...stings.

You must've forgot or didn't know that Lee announced his top 5, and we weren't in it.  I still feel the staff will salvage this class with two more decent, if not solid, recruits.

9 guys for sure now (likely 10)

I would think we have no less than 2 ships left or possibly 3 as many as 4

Hope we can land Mussini Papa G and a transfer 2 guard

This was a good move for us

This was a good move for us as well as he kid.  He doesn't fit into the type of team we are building and it seems he's averse to getting in the shape needed to compete in this setup.  Good luck to him.
