Listen, the most important two right now are Heron and Figueroa. I friggin love Figueroa as a player so I hope we can get him to stay. Everybody wants him. He’s fantastic so I expect the offers to be tempting. Sitting a year though, is downright stupid with such a good coach coming in who coaches the Swiss Army knife style that Figueroa already plays. Anderson will hone Figs wild style at times and make him a better player. Love that kid and he’s near impossible to replace imo.
Unless Heron is going to try to go pro, he should stay and play for Mike Anderson. I thought Heron had a tough year under Mullin. At times he was great. Lots of times he was frustrated though, and I felt it was due to lack of coaching and direction. I think Heron expected a breakout year. So did Ponds. Neither had it because the coaching simply wasn’t there. Frustration ensued. Heron needs more coaching and needs to have a great year before being draftable. Hope he returns.
As we know, nothing sure with the young brains of these kids and influence of parents and “handlers”. Hope coach Anderson can get both to stay.
