How do they not play remotely the same position? Mahaney may have been brought in to play PG but it’s clear he isnt one, he’s a SG, and Brea is a SG/SF so there’s more positional overlap than not. Brea would come off the bench here too and he wouldn’t have solved our backup PG problem but at least we’d have an 8 man rotation.
One is a ball handler. The other is a spot up shooter. Mahaney isn’t a pg. But in theory he’s a secondary ball handler at least. Brea would’ve solved none of our issues. I don’t think we have 1 more win with Brea.

Not getting Brea was a miss even if it wasn’t him or Mahaney.

For example, if we had Brea instead of Ross then we’d have an 8 man rotation. Still no backup PG but We’ve lost our 5 BE games by a combined 18 pts. That’s an average of 3.6 ppg. Ross is averaging 3 ppg and scored a total of 5 pts in those 5 games. Brea is averaging 11 ppg. There’s 1 more win in there with Brea on the roster, at least

You’re assuming it’s Ross. What if it was Solo? Who is a better player. Solo, Ross and Stewart are best friends. So what if it ended up being solo and Stewart? We don’t know why Hurley and staff thought it wasn’t worth it. You’re guessing

It most likely woulda been. Like Pope, Hurley coulda made it clear Brea would come off the bench like he does at UK with Ball as the starter. Stew plays a different position most of the time. Hurley was obviously blowing hot air about Ross all summer.

I don’t care but we would have 1 more win at least with an almost 50% 3 pt shooter but it’s all hindsight no matter.

You literally have no way of knowing this lmao. I’ll tell you this, you don’t know what you think you know. I have reason to believe that you’re wrong in your assumption. Ross is not who Hurley was afraid of losing. But we can’t have that conversation here.

And you know that how? pope wasn’t afraid of losing Robinson or Oweh. Why should Hurley have been afraid of losing ball or stew? We have a 7 man rotation for crying out loud. I don’t wanna play captain hindsight anymore after this but you’re certainty about these alternative realities is also mainly guessing

Whispers. There’s a few guys he had to re-recruit this offseason. One specifically who you wouldn’t wanted to have lost because of Brea. And it wasn’t a one for one. I’ve already hinted. Solo, Ross and Stewart are BEST friends. Storrs central also hinted at guys(plural) that may have left. Do with that what you will.

Remember Stewie came from Washington. Solo and Ross are like family to him away from home is what’s been said. One guy leaving creates a domino effect.

Purdue's season has gone in the crapper. Lost to IU by double digits after leading by 12 at halftime.

New Haven native and ex-Xavier player Desmond Claude dropped 30 but USC lost by 10 to Rutgers.

Kid is having a great year averaging over 15 a game on just about 50% shooting.

I've thought about Claude for the transfer portal. He great at getting in the lane and finishing and he has great size for a point. Negatives- he turns it over too much and while his outside shot has improved he takes few of them. He would certainly be an upgrade at point guard over what we have though.

He would have been better off staying at Xavier, at least they still have a shot at an NCCA tournament bid. USC not so much.

How is DH going to handle it this off season? I understand the best friend BS but if push comes to shove, they know life isn't a package deal and if they love the game and want to play where it is the best fit, they know there isn't more than a low D1 school who will take all 3.
Scuttlebutt has it that both Roos and Stewie (closer to home) are looking elsewhere as is AN and AM. What does DH do with AK? the kid has played himself out of even G League contention at this point.

really nowhere to put this but I thought it was so sad it should do somewhere. Not sure who most to blame, the coaches, the refs, or the kid?


not the NBA but ridiculous coaching provided to these kids

Tankathon mocked Karaban going #30 in their most recent draft. Another (albeit less known) mock draft had him going #28.
