Cruz Davis to Portal

[paultzman]

As expected

 

[WalterMatthau]

Wish him nothing but the best.. Caught some bad luck here..

 

[dk423]

Best of luck to him. Horrible injury luck. I think he could've been a since developmental piece for us but understand the decision 100%

 

[espken]

Good luck Cruz

 

[paultzman]

I found him skilled in short sample and better than MAAC level, perhaps A10 is right tier.

Total conjecture but I can see SMU being a great fit. 20 minutes from home while still nursing that injury, can play on the low end of the ACC

Zach hints at another player potentially entering as well.

Ayo logical

 

[L J S A]

Good luck to the kid and wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[MainMan]

He was intriguing. He looked very smooth with the ball in the (very) limited amount of time he was here.

 

[fordham96]

Drissa too...

 

[dk423]

Drissa too...

Can't blame him one bit if he wants actual playing time

 

[RedStormNC]

I'd hope Pitino & Iona staff put in good words or leverage their contacts to get him looks at other schools that could be good fit

I think RP played him just enough to show how he can fit in at a lower level, doing him the favor for his loyalty and being a great teammate.

 

[MainMan]

Drissa too...

Remember that jolt of excitement when he signed - a local kid from a powerhouse program.

He'd kill it in the MAAC.

 

[lawmanfan]

He is just Cruz-ing along to greener pastures.

TBH my view of him in the limited minutes I saw was that his confidence was writing checks that his ability was unlikely to be able to cash at the BE level.

 

[Beasts of the East]

I think that the NCAA snub will only motivate Pitino.

Bum Phillips, the coach of the Houston Oilers, after a near miss to the playoffs once said, "This year we were knocking at the door. Next year we're going kick it in!"

Excited to see what we target in the portal. Worried about the cost.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

I liked what little I saw from Cruz. But Rick is here to build a national championship contender and obviously, Cruz isnt a fit for that type of team.

Hopefully he finds a place where he csn get a ton of playing time.
