Message: [QUOTE="Mister P, post: 4268645, member: 9590"] Out of 500+ comments I think [USER=1329]@auror[/USER] has the best take on the Diggins situation and him transferring. The staff saw him everyday in practice and in game situations. They know how he played and what to expect if he was given 10-15 minutes a game like many here have suggested. He wasn’t given those minutes because of what the staff saw. Simple as that. Some players have great high school careers and are highly touted but just can’t improve when they are matched against equal or better D1 talent. It happens. That being said, I’m all for giving incoming freshman who come in with higher expectations ,or even sophomores, plenty minutes in order for them to gain the experience that can only help them as their college career moves forward. However, that’s only when a team is average at best and you’re not going anywhere with the current team that you have. Doing this could only help a team as those underclassman get older and as the coach keeps trying to recruit high talent for future classes…… This year we had a team with a good amount of talent, both underclassman and upperclassman not named Diggins, that proved they should be on the court every game and this was a team that had high expectations. A coach needs to play those players in order to try and achieve the teams goals. Hurley and staff did that but unfortunately the season ended not how they expected it. Diggins did not show the staff that he earned game time minutes and his leaving was a mutual agreement by both parties. Getting a couple of experienced guard transfers with the nucleus of Jackson,Hawkins and Sanogo, a highly regarded freshman class and hopefully the return of 2 tall 4’s COULD mean a better team next year.
