Thank You and Good Luck Sim

It appears he may be portal bound.

Would be a damn shame. Love the kid. Family favorite.

Any chance Glover could/would reconsider if Sim leaves?

Usually does not work that way.

Yeah I know

 

[guinness77]

Ok. This would suck.

He is turning down ALOT of minutes if he does that. I don't get why he would, he is on track to be the lead guy. Compounding the problem- if he is gone and we don't get Ian we have no point guards I would say? We would then need to settle for someone else picked up late.

He is the closest on the roster to a PG right now and Ian Jackson coming doesn’t change that as he is not a PG.

I like Wilcher. Wish him all the best if he leaves. I hope he figures out his confidence issue because he's really talented when he's locked in. But there's only one ball on the court. We have a lot of offensive weapons (assuming Jackson signs on). I think we need some balance at PG and defense now.

 

[guinness77]

This is a big mistake if he leaves for him and us. Continuity on a roster is a must and especially at his position not just for games but for practice. For him, he’s leaving 30min a game on the table on a team that has a legit shot at a final four. Is passing an issue?

Either way, this doesn’t make sense on so many levels.

 

[kranmars]

If Sims leaves, then there may be the possibility that a very good college PG (aside from Lewis) the staff is confident in landing.

(Put this comment in the wrong thread previously).

Great teammate and great kid with potential to be a great player. I would hate for this to happen!

Repeated before, but everything is transactional now. He’s being actively recruited over so how could anyone possibly blame him?

Pitino was honest in that press conference when he was hired. It’s not personal it’s business. Seems like a complete bastardization of the college experience but we seem to be benefiting by it.

Think how fans of Stanford, Arizona State and Providence feel about us.

I am naive. I pay no attention to this stuff. I tune in in November and roll with who we have. I have no idea what the insiders say or, even, care about it. This just seems out of nowhere…to me, at least.

Who have we recruited over him? Seems like quite the opposite

 

[SJU2000alum15]

Will be sad to see Sim go and wish him well but if we end up getting better players to replace him I’m fine with it.

Sanon, sellers and more to come

Sanon, sellers and more to come

Right now Sim is the only kid who can play point. And I’m not convinced Sellers or Sanon would be any better than Sim next year.

Maybe the staff and/or Sim himself weren't convinced he was a point guard

 

[mattc]

Sim leaving would be the first bad development this off-season. We need four good guards to compete for a national title and he’s the only major returnee in our backcourt.
