Tarik Turner or Rysheed Jordan? Felipe Lopez or D'Angelo Harrison? Jakarr Sampson or Zendon Hamilton? Chris Obekpa or Mike Mennefield? Ed Brown or God's Gift? Significantly better? I think not. Lavin has more well rounded collection of players. Mahoney never recruited a BE point guard. I like Tarik, but he was a Northeast Conference level talent.


I like Norm's group much better than either of those.

David Cain proved to be a pretty good PG.. Trouble was Brian didn't notice his talent until his SR season.

The most amazing turnaround , improvement or whatever you want to call it from any player since I have been watching the team. Count me as one of the "anyone else"  but it does show that you can't judge a player getty spotty, irregular minutes.

Agree, but it was Lou who didn't play Cain (which is who I meant by anyone else), not Mahoney, who only had him for a year, and that was in keeping with Lou's philosophy, which was to not play underclassmen except in extraordinary circumstances.
