Damn Isaiah Whaley is just a hell of a story. If you said you saw this coming you are lying.

I think you're right. And it cheapens the efforts of his assistant coaches who recruited those guys. Hurley coming around though. See the last sentence.Well if Hurley doesn't say that he alienates half the players on the team by saying they're worse
Granted you didn't say he would never be good. We'll just chalk it up as a hot take that didn't age well.If anyone thinks Whaley was anything other than awful in 2019, they’re bad at watching basketball.

Nope. Now I understand why you would think that, because it’s both logical and factually accurate, but he didn’t give a quote to a reporter saying that was a reason, so it can’t be a reason. Everyone knows that only things 17 year olds say in response to questions asked by reporters count as real reasons, come on superjohn.
I think what Hurley is doing here is important. We won't know whether or not Whaley was playing over his head to end last season until this season gets rolling. Regardless, he was extremely productive when we got hot at the end of the season, especially over those last six games. And obviously, he brings energy both in game and in practice.Could Hurley go from admittedly undervaluing Whaley to overvaluing him now?

Hurley has said in the past..and did say in virtual conf call this week..That Springs is a "talented" player.. There is a ton of competition at the 4/5 for minutes.. He will certainly benefit from the daily development in practice vs this stable of talented Bigs ... KFree..his positional coach..will have a major impact on him as well.....Once the dust settles after this season is over and some of our roster makes their plans for the future..and/or graduates..IMO.. Yarders will be happy to have Springs on the roster going into the 2021 season.. Let's enjoy the 2020 version of the Good Guys for now..He sure is and it's a pretty sad indictment of Hurley and his staff to not see every day in practice what us fans can see from pregame warmups and sources within the program.

This is a message to everyone on the team that if you put in the work and put up results, you will be rewarded. You can go from someone who averaged, what, 3 minutes per game to a starter on a borderline top 25 team. I think putting Whaley on a pedestal like that shows the guys who probably won't be seeing too many minutes to start the season (Springs, Brown, maybe even Sanogo) that in the long run their personal goals will be attainable in this program.
They have a YouTube channel and have posted the recordings of these coach's events in the past. I will keep an eye out if they do so again.
Here's the recording:
