Hopefully this time the developmental guys choose to stick around after a year of the staff developing them

I think this points to Dre playing small ball 4 for us this year. Last years 4/5’s Polley, IW, Akok, Samson, Richie, Adama,

This year 4/5’s Samson, Adama, Clingan, Karaban, Richie
You could argue 2, potentially even 3 of the 5 above are exclusively 5’s

Hurley said you now have to be brutally honest when it comes to recruiting. Of course they could still leave, but it's evident he is going to be very honest with them about the development.

 

[HooperScooper]

Can’t wait to see his jumpsuit

If it helps his shooting then I’m on board with it no matter how ugly it might be.

There is nothing AJax can't do if he puts his mind to it. I hope he makes some for the whole team And Hurley, lol.

 

[Stinger92860]

I want AJ to develop a step back jumper in the lane with a defender in his face. If he can do that, it means it stroke has been cleaned up and he is capable of so much more.

Polyester?

 

[MDHuskFan]

Development guys are cool and stuff, but let’s be honest. How many of them think they’re developed enough before the coach does?

 

[UCTitleTown]

I don't like hearing "developmental guys". Reminds me of how often our program has had to do more with less over the years. I'd rather hear things like "McDonald's All Americans", "Blue Chips", "5*s", "Studs", "Can't Miss Players", "One and Dones", but that's just me.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Im excited for next season and seeing how Hurley rounds out the team. This board is down right now but I have full faith we will be better than we were last year!

 

[JustbrewitMan]

LOL Dre spilling the beans on the new warm-up outfits for next year

 

[3rdbass]

Love the quotes. It is like he is listening to his Iphone recordings without proofing what he is writing. LOL!

Not sure he can develop a consistent one in one offseason when he still doesn't have a jumpshot. One thing at a time work on Jumpshot and he can get rid of that ugly floater, shotput.

"self belief in themselves"

Yes, I'm being snarky and petty. I'm an old guy who had wine with lunch. Sue me.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

"self belief in themselves"

I cringed too.

 

[aburks41]

I have been put in boneyard jail on the Jackson/Akok beef thread but I just want to say that I love Andre Jackson and bad blood is awesome. Give me back the old big east feel of players hating each other. Love it

Avery Brown isn't at this level, if we wanted a CT. guard Hurley should've went after Desmond Claude.

but his point still stands, the 9th through 13th guys on the team have to be content with not playing much if at all, like springs has been. otherwise they have the option to just pack up and leave now.

i think there is/was a 99% chance floyd entered this season as the 9th man on the roster. sure he coulda played ~10 mpg but the players we'll have can easily absorb that time.

1) sanogo, 2) newton, 3) jackson, 4) hawkins, 5) transfer guard?, 6) johnson, 7) karaban, 8) castle?, 9) floyd, 10) clingan, 11) springs

whatever developmental depth piece we get to replace floyd shouldnt be the difference between winning a tourney game or not this season

I disagree, I think Floyd was going to get a lot of time and has the versatility to play multiple positions. He surely would've been looking at a lot of minutes with the roster we have now, hopefully that changes and Hurley brings in a couple of more studs...he needs to.
