But as an interloper you wouldn't know that.Wow, someone needs some perspective.
Quote from: Moose on April 20, 2013, 07:33:26 PMMan CR and his tangents I am all for taking risks but I don't know if we are there with scholarship distribution yet.Certainly wasn't thinking for this class. But we definately lose Orlando, Gift and Marco after next season. Very likely Jakarr and possibly D'Lo. So at least 4 rides and possibly 5, with a core of Jordan, Green, Branch, Pointer, Balamou, Obekpa, Hooper, and Jones back for 2015. We'll need bigs anyway - if we get an elite big, that would be terrific. But if not, more than willing for Steve to take an end of the bench roster spot flyer on a Ryan Hollins or Mike Fey. In his 9 years as a head coach Steve Lavin has only signed 4 scholarship players over 6'9 - Dan Gadzuric, Jerome Moiso, Ryan Hollins and Mike Fey. Gadzuric and Moiso were elite, early contributors. Hollins and Fey were "sleeper" project guys, who developed over time in the program. All but Fey were NBA players, Fey was a 15/8 guy in the NBDL, with a real nice Euro career.

Now here was a guy who was worth reading. It's interesting reading the first few pages of posts on the early recruitment of this kid. Would people say he had a better senior season than expected? He did go out as a champ.
