Nah. They return as much as we do considering departures stay the same. A potential BEPOY ( DC vs Hopkins) an upper class hellacious guard ( Carter vs who, today?) Dual rated pretty much dead heat with Ball. Kick dirt on their grave at your own peril. I already beat a boneyarder in a bet THIS year for you guys doing this. I don’t like providence, it’s ok to recognize good moves.
Ball is more of a shooting guard. So our PG situation would be the same as last year substitute Newton for Castle and no AJ to help out.
No Joey either who was more than what I’m talking about but still a great PG off the bench.
You are ignoring Castle, who I gather will be better than Carter in a shot amount of time.
Yeah I don’t get it. You have your two best players ( one of them was almost BE POY THIS season) matured for next season, and then better guards. Anyone who says you are “less talented” doesn’t watch through neutral glasses.
.
I’m not ignoring castle. I wouldn’t trade pc’s guards for ours. Just don’t shortsell them.
Improved Diarra. Right now shooters is the first priority even with Jackson and newton back.
From what i’ve watched and read (pointguardeyes does an incredibly in depth analysis) he has shown flashes of quick twitch handle and passing chops. Definitely won’t be playing any PG to start, maybe never will for us, but seems like he has the groundwork to develop the secondary playmaker role
Dickson goin' to Tucky.. That's where the money is.. Amiright ...Cal??
They needed to considering how barren the roster was. They had a long way to go to get to the bubble
Big Dog going to Kentucky.. Money (NIL) wins..
I question the shooting. But if CFJ and Pierre have numbers that continue to translate once doubling the usage, then I think PC is a better team then in 2022-2023. Just gotta put it together away from the Dunk.
Expected, but cross one name off.
I think Ticket Gaines can shoot about as well as Locke. The talent will be there, can he coach? We will find out, but honesty we are in the same situation we have been in for 40 years outside Gillen. Pitino, Barnes, Welsh, Davis, Cooley? All just a few years head coaching experience. It’s helpful to have someone with Dennis Felton’s experience. Who was an assistant under Barnes. He told English that while the fan base is still there, this is nowhere near the same program as back then.
What are you basing this on?
His game tapes and stats. The kid spent two years at Tennessee and started there as a freshman on a good team. Just look at GMU’s record in games he played and compare it to when he was out with his wrist injury. He will also defend at a much much higher level than Locke. He can play.
He should trademark that pronto.
