CTInsider article: Newtons decision coming soon

[WhereistheDove?]

Can confirm. I can't even make a scambled egg in my house without my wife citing some district court case from Wyoming in 1974 to tell me I'm doing it wrong.

Well have you ever tried being less wrong?

If Newton gives Hurley a better chance at winning, he will start there regardless of what accolades might stand in the way. Newton is a national champion and was on the all final four team, so he definitely in the running for starting spot because I would imagine those accolades are more important than the Mcdonalds one. It will be pretty cut and dry once they get into practice and Hurley watches them play against each other. Its all gonna come down to skill and winning. I can almost gaurantee Hurley prioritizes winning over feelings. And I bet he had a conversation with everyone that you need to earn a spot, regardless of how well they did in high school.

And let's not forget effort. If Castle does not practice hard, he will not play. I'm sure he will, but nobody can be 100% certain of the starting five at this time.

Try fried or poached eggs........ What have you to lose?

AJ Price almost died going into that season and he redshirted. Then he was suspended another year. His first year—which was technically called his sophomore year—he started all but one game.

Castle is going to start. He's not walking onto a team with a junior Dyson and senior Price, or a junior Gordon and a senior Brown. It's much more akin to the situation that El-Amin stepped into.

I expect him to start. But if Newton comes back, and Timberlake comes, he will have to earn it. That's all my point was. No one is just handing him a starting role if starting him doesn't make the team better.

 

[uconndogs]

Castle is better than Kemba and Bazz were coming into this program.

He may be, but I wouldn't bet on it. Kemba was an extraordinary talent and as much exposure as these kids get in the AAU programs, you simply never know how they will step into the elite college game especially early on.

My wife isn't a lawyer. I'm not sure you're any more likely to be deemed to be doing everything wrong.

I've got news for you, you don't need to be married to a lawyer to have your wife always tell you "you're doing it wrong".

You’d think there’d be enough examples of guys at schools like duke and Kentucky, who don’t play up to their rating year 1, that people wouldn’t be so persistent about our guy flying out of the gates. The number 1 recruit was benched for a senior transfer from Northwestern this year.

Castle has said Dan didn’t promise him anything anyways, which was something he respected about Dan.

 

[Yankees32123]

Read post #65. He's comparing it to 2021-2022 starting lineup.

Yes. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Castle, Newton, Jackson, Karaban and Clingan is a better shooting starting 5 than Cole, Martin, Jackson, Whaley and Sanogo.

"How would you like your eggs, hun? Appealed or never easy?"

 

[Rocktheworld]

I’ll just say that it’s crazy to me that we are talking about now pursuing our sixth title.

Portsmith Invitational Roster…. Look and draw own conclusions

There are guys on there who have officially announced they are returning to college (like Damion Baugh). It's a weird time for the PIT with the COVID years. Not much you can draw from that.

I once argued that mine can either tell me what to do or how to do something, but not both. Essentially, if you want it done your way, do it yourself. That didn't go over well.

I'm more excited about the assists from this lineup.

 

[CL82]

Is Castle going to get a chance to start? Of course he is. But anyone who thinks that Danny Hurley isn't going to start the guys who give him the best chance to repeat, as opposed to doing what Calipari does and picking lineups not to win but to help him recruit in the future, doesn't know Danny Hurley.

On the other hand, thinking that castle, based upon his résumé, and athleticism, might well end up being a starter isn’t an unreasonable position. If it happens, it won’t be because Dan Hurley has suddenly abandoned a philosophy of putting his best five on the floor to start the game.

Fully agree. I fully expect him to start and have said that in many other threads.

 

[CL82]

That's really hard to justify.

Replace our best shooter, Hawkins, with Castle and then replace a much improved shooter in Sanogo with Clingan, who hasn't shown he can shoot yet in game play?

No one has seen Castle play at the college level so the assumption is he will be flawless. That’s the norm around here after the season ends and we start looking forward.

Well, Eggland’s Best vs. Tupperware is taught to every first year law student…

LMFAO. I have told my wife that before, when it came organizing the laundry. It did not go well, for sure.

I'll try this tonight. 80% shot you never hear from me on the 'yard again.

I doubted that. If You’ve survived this long, you are almost non-killable at this point.
