We are currently acting the part of a blue blood.
Big Man On Campus Targets
- Thread starter mjmaherjr
- Start date
My preference would be to use scholarship #13 on a HS guard (probably not many out there) just because I don't like the idea of having to replace our entire backcourt every year which is what has been happening.
15 roster limit to be approved shortly gives flexibility

Looks like a massive get. Scoring 12 points on the winning team in the McDonalds AA game isn’t chicken scratch. Adding this level player to an already loaded roster is unreal.
This is crazy! We've gone from the school that had been begging half decent talent to come here, to the school that some of the best talent in the country (and out of the country) is begging to come to!
Rick is a genius!!! I hope he doesn't retire until he's 110 years old!!!

You mean a Red blood.We are currently acting the part of a blue blood.
do you like the part where old guy Rick is the coach? He's going with the times and he told us how its gonna go. if we got a Dyno freshman point guard he be gone after a year anyway.
Not at all what I said, but ok.
Its not that I'm not excited about pickups like these, just not sure how to feel since there is no guarantee they will even stick around for a second year.
well... it was a fun morning atleast lol

Embarrassment of riches regarding this name that's being rumored...doesn't make basketball sense to me. Doesn't make sense from a roster construction perspective, nor does it if I'm that kid, right now.
4 star, high end, uber talented kid who obviously wants to play. He'd come here and play behind Hopkins, Mitchell and be battle Prey for minutes? Seems like a hard sell. He's very very very good...but in this era, where a player like this also costs a lot, is that the wise use of (significant) funds?
Plus don't forget the level of poaching that's done in the sport, first time he only gets 8 mins in a game, he'll get phone calls offering him bigger roles and telling him he's being misused and underused all that kind of stuff.
The positive is come in an be apart of a national championship contending roster under Rick Pitino in New York...of course very appealing, but he's a top end blue chip type talent, not sure that's a role or sacrifice he's willing it make.
As of this moment, I find it a little hard to envision coming to fruition.

If he is that good would be first big off bench and probably 7th man, no?
