Don't forget Corey Floyd?????...Force out? or looking for more PT????...I'll take his replacement ( Joey Cal. anytime! )Best 5 start. Next 3-5 play if they're good enough to earn minutes. Pretty simple really.
It's 2022 and we have expectations of being a perennial top-10 team seeing the second weekend in March.
Feelings will be hurt. Players will transfer if they aren't good enough. Hurley will help them find a school that is a better fit for their skill level (a la Gaffney, Diggins, Akok). It is what it is. Kids like Springs are a rarity.

Castle is a PG and should start day 1. No one is a true 4 or even a Hurley 4…Maybe Ross or Stewart could be a small ball 4. But that may be the position we have the least to worry about with both Karaban and Samson probable to be back next year.Are any of them true point guards or power forwards? Plenty of time available for those.
Simple , we keep the guys who aren’t heartless and gutless with no d, and can run 50.1 miles with a cellphone in each hand.What happens with time on the court when the Fab 5 arrive next year ?

Next question?!
DH did not force anyone out. Just told them the honest truth about their playing time for this year and they made their own decision. You think Gaff and Akok were pushed out to make room for the internationals?They are thinking, “damn, now I know why Danny forced me out”
T2R is correct. Earlier this year was fortunate to bump into a coach and flat out asked him about Floyd and Akok directly. Floyd was told he projected 7-9 and decided to bolt. Akok was a surprise transfer and hit hard. Did not ask about Gaff.DH did not force anyone out. Just told them the honest truth about their playing time for this year and they made their own decision.

This season Karaban has the most playtime and Clingan would probably see more if Sanogo wasn't as good as he is. Previously he had to rely on some of the older players due to the team makeup but he played younger players too, Hawkins was seeing time last year for example.Historically Hurley seemingly favors experience
Jimmy KingVery different than the Michigan Fab 5 of Webber, Howard, Rose, Jackson and whoever # 5 was.
Corey - 8.9 MPG, 3.6 PPG at Providence.Don't forget Corey Floyd?????...Force out? or looking for more PT????...I'll take his replacement ( Joey Cal. anytime! )

It certainly felt like it last year though when a lot of us (count me in) were desperate to find someone who could help get them over the hump in all those close games.
Castle (short of going to a prep school) has played against excellent competition at UA circuit and USA Basketball during the summer and his Newton HS team plays against the top high school competition in the state of GA while having already played the #2 team in the country (Duncanville in TX); his high school schedule is amongst the toughest in the country. Not sure how his competition could be any better.There's gonna be a ton of turnover between kids going pro, transferring. Who knows. And who can really figure out which recruit will do what? I think I fell for the same thing with Clingan that playing at 6'4" centers at RHAM and Southington wasn't gonna get him ready to play in the Big East - that was everyone (including myself) biggest reason for thinking he wouldn't be an immediate star. I've seen the videos of the incoming kids and the highlights all look great. I'd be shocked if Castle wasn't a star/starter day one, but nothing else can be taken for granted. Then again, Castle's competition doesn't look great compared to what some of the other incoming kids are playing against and who on the HS level can guard a quick 6'6" kid with a handle and just a dead-on shooter? Much like Clingan proved me wrong with his immediate impact, Castle is gonna be a future lottery pick too.
We will worry about this "problem" when we get there.
You think its bad now? Wait till the final buzzer sounds on the season and how we should be preseason #1 if Clingan comes back. Theyll be saying he can lead us to back to back titles.Geez. 11-0. Best team in the country and you’re worried about playing time for next year?
And some think it might rain on a sunny day
