Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 3561566"] Hurley loves AG but lost confidence he could ever run a winning team. Too many turnovers and bad stretches at key times. AG just did not have the right instincts to involve the right teammates in the right spots at the right time. He never was a true PG in HS. I like Gaffney but what we can’t underestimate is just taking AG’s mistakes out of the mix made a huge difference towards winning. I think Hurley trusts Gaffney and he’s a better shooter than what he showed last season and will get stronger.. RJ will provide some of the offense we lose in CV. Don’t underestimate the need and value of replacing CV’s ability to knock down foul shots. On Whaley, I think he genuinely surprised Hurley, and he gave us someone who could switch on defense unlike Josh. He also was a live body on the boards, unlike Josh. I think he was a big help towards the end of last season. He will be a senior with that experience but that will be offset by a much deeper front court about the future - Brown-Ferguson and Sanogo. These guys are more talented than Whaley and will get minutes. Time will tell if last season will translate for Whaley. I think it will somewhat but maybe not a lot. [/QUOTE]
