Message: [QUOTE="Captbluefin, post: 4144628, member: 6198"] Cole-mid major transfer Martin- mid major transfer Whaley- Ollie recruit Polly- Ollie While Cole,Whaley and Martin are nice players they are all at the end of there college career. And are not guys who will get you past the first weekend. It is what it is they are pieces. They are not big time players. They are nice players on a team with a stud or two. Maybe to Hurley they are better than pretty much anyone he has had but we are not at URI in the A10. Polley is a whole other deal. He is more streaky than a 90yo mans underpants. If he doesn’t have it screw him to the bench. And he only has it once every 5 or 6 games. If he isn’t drilling 3’s he bring nothing to the table. These are good guys and fight like hell but they are limited in skills. Not one of them would start on 2014. Not one. In hindsight they should have all been let go and solidified the future by bringing in young guys and letting them learn on the way. These 4 guys are band aides. They will win enough games to make it interesting but in the big picture retarding the program as temporary fixes. Hurley is running with this plan because he fears a young inexperienced team will loose a bunch of games and he is too competitive to deal with that. Also he is worried the fan base will freak and be calling for his head. These are my thoughts and I am sure most will hammer me for my opinion but this season feels like we are treading water not progressing to the future. Also one last thing these next five games could go really sideways for us if everything does not go right. If that happens will Hurley have the balls to burn it down and let the young guys get the experience they will need for next year???? Lets see in 5 games. I pray we go 4-1 not 1-4 [/QUOTE]
